Lisa Nichols Profile
Growing up and living in a South Central L.A. neighborhood divided between two warring gangs, single mother Lisa Nichols gave herself permission to take control of her life and get her family out of poverty. Today she is the founder and owner of a company that has a multi-million dollar value. Nichols speaks to thousands of people each year about how she turned her life around and how you can to.
In 1994 Nichols found herself relying on Welfare and WIC in order to raise her infant son, whose father was in prison. While she was grateful but slightly embarrassed to have to rely on public assistance, it was still challenging to meet her household’s basic needs. Nichols hit rock bottom one day when she couldn’t afford to buy her son diapers and had to resort to wrapping him in towels. Instead of blaming her circumstances, she became determined to rise above them.
Nichols carefully examined her life and habits closely to figure out what was working and what wasn’t. She took on a new go-getter mentality, got a job running the Family Resource Center for the LA Unified School District, and began to put aside a little bit of money each month for a dream project that she hadn’t yet identified. Later on, she started up a foundation called Motivating the Teen Spirit. In order to successfully grow the program, Nichols began attending several conferences on entrepreneurship and branding, a move that influenced her own decision to eventually start speaking.
Since its foundation in 2000, Motivating the Teen Spirit has touched millions of lives, reuniting runaways with their families, preventing teen suicides, and helping drop-outs return to school. In 2010 Nichols launched the personal and professional development training company, Motivating the Masses, which today has a multi-million dollar value and is the only public company from the self development industry. Nichols is the best-selling author of seven books and her teachings were featured in the 2007 hit phenomenon The Secret.
