Bela Gandhi’s path to success has been a twisted one. She spent the first part of her work life running a division of family’s chemical manufacturing company. All the while though, the only chemical reaction she wanted to focus on was love – as a matchmaker. She’d been setting up people on the side since college and had a true talent for it. She shares with Jeanne why it took so long to realize her dream job; how Oprah changed her life through gratitude; why gratitude and fear can not live in the same space; her dad’s 8 words of wisdom that stopped her cold; how to create the life you love; and why our brains are wired for negativity and what we can do about it.
