Hey, it's Marie Forleo and you are watching MarieTV, the place to be to create a business

Speaking of which, my guest today is an ambitious and creative woman who has done just that.

Cortney Novogratz is a designer that you may know from Bravo's 9 By Design and HGTV's Home

Along with her husband Robert, she's been designing and developing spaces around the

She's a mom of seven with impeccable taste and a love of design, art and architecture,

which have driven her career, rebuilding entire city blocks, renovating a Hollywood Hills

castle, and even building a treehouse in Brazil.

She's an entrepreneurial powerhouse who has a passion for bringing beautifully designed

Cortney, thank you so much for making the trip and being here today.

Take me back to the early days because you did not start off knowing what you were doing

From what I read from my research, you were actually an actress starting out in New York

City, and your career took a whole 'nother turn.

I don't know if we found our career or it found us, but my husband and I bought our

first building, it was a condemned building, while we were actually planning our wedding.

My job, of course, as an actress was ups and downs and I had a little bit of free time,

Opening up everyday, learning everything on the job and renovating it pretty much ourselves.

In one sense, I was only 24 at the time, but I knew exactly what I was doing and then I

Well, let me ask you this, how long had you been pursuing acting when you guys got the

I'd had some small things, jobs, but we always...

The one thing is that my husband and I have in common, and still do to this day, is the

love of architecture and designs and flea markets.

We knew we would always dabble in that because it was something like a hobby that we enjoyed,

but we never realized we would actually turn it into a real business.

And was there something inside, and the reason I'm asking these questions because I know

that there are many folks in our audience who find themselves, whether they're in their

20s or 30s or 40s or 50s or 60s or 70s, looking at a next chapter.

Perhaps having been going in one direction and then maybe want to take a right turn or

I would love if you can articulate what was happening inside of you that was like, "Oh

Bye, bye acting," or if there was a bit of tension in that decision.

I knew I was great at it in one sense, meaning that it felt so easy and comfortable.

Even the smallest most daunting or biggest daunting task of learning how to dig out a

basement or pour foundation or all these things that I had no clue about, I felt comfortable

Even as scary as a new project is today, the unknown, I still know I can navigate through

We felt pretty confident with each other, and we knew we were going to make mistakes

and not have all the answers or even have all the money to do a proper renovation, but

I think it was like a calculated risk and the fact that we knew that we would succeed

Then did help that Suzanne Vega, the singer/songwriter, approached us to rent our house out after

How did she know about it or how did you know her?

She actually a friend of hers that was a broker and he had said that this kind of fun groovy

couple just renovated a house and maybe they'd be up for it.

She kind of kickstarted our career and the fact that she believed in us.

We then moved out of course and took that money and did it all over again.

Was it really when she rented the house that your husband said, "Okay.

It took probably the second house to be honest and then it was really scary because at that

All of our insurance was covered under his job as a broker, but we knew no matter what,

With that, there was all these side steps.

We had to sometimes downsize in order to buy up the next property or things weren't selling

We definitely sacrificed to live the life we want to live.

It started off it sounds like more flipping than anything else.

I mean this was 25 years ago before people even called it flipping.

We were in the middle of Downtown Manhattan, so most people don't flip homes.

But for us, we knew we didn't know how many children we were going to have, but we knew
