I received a very special email this morning from Women Speakers Association (WSA), congratulating me on becoming a 'Legacy Member' of WSA and enclosing a Legacy badge.

Having been a member of WSA since 2022, I have experienced exceptional growth and knowledge, from Gail Watson, the team at WSA and the incredible members of WSA, who have helped to guide me along the way.

I have 'used my voice' with more clarity and continue to rise as a proud businesswoman, to keep showing up, being visible and inspiring others through my message.

This Legacy badge symbolises a lifetime of growth, connection and 'unstoppable' visibility for my message and continued mission over four decades and continuing!

🟪 BOOK LAUNCH, SATURDAY, 8 MARCH 2025 🟪

Our Book Launch on International Women's Day for 8 of the Australian authors (47 authors, each with a chapter in the book) - was a roaring success!!

🟪 Excited !!

Three years ago - I would not have thought that I would be writing
a chapter in a book, let alone a chapter in a second book, along with other beautiful International women from Australia, US, Canada, UK, Europe, Bermuda and Singapore.

This was all made possible by becoming a member of Women Speakers Association, who were not only the publishers of the books, but worked tirelessly as a team, with all of the authors, to make this process very streamlined and enjoyable, with exceptional results.

The first book which was released in February 2024:
"Voices of the 21st Century: Women Empowered Through Passion
and Purpose, became an No. 1 International Best Seller in 4 countries
and many categories!

My chapter was entitled "Perseverance and Tenacity" - on how a negative work situation was turned into a positive and successful business over four decades.

The second book which was officially launched last week "Voices of the 21st Century: Wise Women Bringing Light to the World" became a No 1. International Best Seller in 5 countries and 13 categories!

This chapter is entitled: "Secrets to Success over Four Decades" where I explore my business journey, with passion, determination and honesty, by sharing four main supportive 'tips' and in my sincere way of helping new and existing businesses on their respective journeys to success.

Here is the YouTube interview I did with Gail Watson for the book for which I co-authored this year.

Marsha Lake shared her personal story of leaving a compromising job to pursue her dreams and stressed the importance of continuous growth ...

I am very proud and excited to share my recent interview with the beautiful Gail Watson, Founder of Women Speakers Association.

As some of you would know, I had the privilege of joining 44 other 'sister authors' from Australia and around the world - in providing a chapter for this book: "Voices of the 21st Century Women Empowered through Passion and Purpose".

The Women Speakers Associate published this book in the US and I am so very thrilled to say that this book has reached International No 1 Bestselling status in 4 countries, US, Canada, UK and Australia!! Also in 11 different categories.

My chapter is called: "Perseverance and Tenacity", which is 'me to a tee'!!
I share how my transformative experience of turning a challenging work situation into a thriving business has lasted over four decades! I give the readers key insights into 'my world' and 'strategies' to realise and achieve your dreams.

There are many other very inspiring chapters in this book from my sister co-authors from personal and business experiences, poems and much more.

Although I have helped my clients with their content for presentations and reports over the years; I have never ever written a personal chapter like this - and the experience has truly been 'life changing'.

I really feel that now that I can speak more confidently and most importantly, give back to other women to share my insights over the years and who would really love to have their own business but unsure of where to start OR just need to 'talk' to somebody!

Even though I have been in business for the last 41 years (which seems like yesterday!) I absolutely love everything about being a business owner, to working and helping our clients to feel more confident and professional in their respective businesses.

Enjoy listening to this podcast - and for anyone who would like to know more - our website is: www.mlss.com.au - for all our services - and you can purchase a copy of my personally signed book/s.

If you would like to contact me personally, my email address is: [email protected] and I would be happy to speak to you at any time.
