If your answer is no to either of these questions,  join Vishen as he chats with legendary entrepreneur Payal Kadakia about her vault of groundbreaking goal-setting secrets that have propelled her to success.

She is the Executive Chairman & Founder of the world’s most flexible fitness membership, ClassPass and she holds a degree from MIT in Operations Research and Economics. At the beginning of 2010, Payal was 26 and had no idea that she’d become an entrepreneur. She was living two lives - one was dancing and the other was working in the grind of Corporate America. While searching for a dance class, she casually came across a problem she knew she had to fight hard to solve, so she created a search engine to do it for her. 10 years later, that one class search has turned into millions of classes booked all around the world. ClassPass is now valued at over $1 billion and she has become an inspiration to many aspiring women entrepreneurs. Her new book “LIFEPASS” is ready to be purchased.    Bonus:                                                                          - Get your own copy of Payal Kadakia’s new book ‘LIFEPASS’ here 👉 https://www.lifepassbook.com/                                     - Subscribe to Mindvalley Membership to discover 60+ Mindvalley Quests, watch our podcast sessions live, interact with the guests, connect with the world’s best teachers, and find your community 👉 https://go.mindvalley.com/NOW   Like this episode?
