Introduction:

Hello everyone, my name is Julia Strouk and I am the founder of Motivational Project. I was born and raised in Paris, France, and I currently live in Los Angeles, California. I am a 20-year-old senior college student at Pepperdine University majoring in Integrated Marketing Communications. I am super excited to announce that I will be pursuing a Master’s in Global Business with a concentration in Leadership and Organizational Change in January 2021 at Pepperdine Graziadio Business School. 

My definition of Success:

Success to me means having found one’s purpose and fulfilling it. The day we realize what we are meant to do and why, is the very first day toward a successful life. 

My goals & where I see myself in 5 years: ​

My ultimate goal is to be an entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and author. Five years from now, I hope to have started my own business and written my very first book. I see myself giving motivational speeches at universities, conferences, and other special events with the ultimate purpose of inspiring and motivating others to believe in themselves and go after their dreams. 

​

What motivates me:

What motivates me is knowing that everything is possible, knowing that we can achieve anything we set our mind to. I have a strong vision for what my life could be and what impact I could make in this world, and knowing that I can pursue this vision and achieve it motivates me to work harder and harder every single day. 

Something that I do (a habit or daily practice) that I believe helps me achieve my goals and be productive:  

Something that really helps me to achieve my goals and follow my dreams is finding a quiet time during the day when I can fully focus and reflect on myself and what I want to do in life. I believe that having some “me-time” is fundamental in order to listen to ourselves and figure out what direction we should take and why. Life isn’t just about accomplishing goals, it’s also about finding a purpose to what we do. 

My inspiration:

Honestly, any successful entrepreneurs and authors who are making a positive impact on people’s lives inspire me. Steve Jobs, Gretta Van Riel, and Haley Hoffman Smith, just to name a few. 

Favorite quote:

“Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” - George Bernard Shaw

I deeply believe that we all have the power to create our own world, our own reality. It’s just a matter of allowing our mind to believe that too. 

Something else I want to share:

A project I am currently working on is this one… I started the Motivational Project with the intention of building a community of like minded, self-driven individuals who also believe that they can achieve anything they set their minds to. I created this project hoping that it would inspire and motivate others to adopt this positive mindset and pursue their wildest dreams. I WANT US TO BELIEVE IN OURSELVES AND GO AFTER WHAT WE WANT IN LIFE. SO JOIN ME NOW!
