Trudy Jacobson Presents:
Marah Lago – Business Strategist
Trudy Jacobson presents Marah Lago, a business strategist and entrepreneur whose journey embodies resilience, passion, and an unrelenting drive to succeed. Marah’s story begins at the age of five, when she convinced her mother to change her name from Marah Greenberg to Marah Lago, a decision that foreshadowed her future as a fearless go-getter. From a young age, Marah knew that if she wanted something, she had to go after it—waiting for things to happen wasn’t an option. Her early determination laid the groundwork for a life full of impressive achievements.
As a true entrepreneur, Marah’s path was never about simply climbing the corporate ladder. Despite the significant success she experienced in corporate roles, Marah felt constrained by the glass ceiling that limited her opportunities as a woman. Recognizing the potential for greater success on her own terms, she left the corporate world behind and launched her own business ventures, including a luxury jewelry brand, Mar-A-Lago, which took the industry by storm. The brand expanded rapidly, operating five factories worldwide and reaching nearly 800 locations. Marah’s jewelry was sold in major retail chains like Macy’s, Cabela’s, and Diamonds International, and even appeared on luxury cruise ships like Princess Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Lines. She also made regular television appearances, showcasing her designs on cable shopping channels, where her expertise and entrepreneurial spirit shone brightly.
Despite this remarkable success, Marah has never stopped looking for ways to grow and give back. After her entrepreneurial journey, Marah began helping other struggling business owners, particularly those who lack the knowledge or resources to take their businesses to the next level. Through her consulting work, Marah empowers entrepreneurs by guiding them through strategic planning, business positioning, and branding. She believes that fear is the greatest hindrance to success and encourages her clients to overcome their fears, embrace new opportunities, and use discernment to guide their growth. Her message is clear: don’t let fear hold you back—let it show you the way forward.
Marah’s transition into consulting was driven by her desire to share the lessons she’s learned along the way and help others achieve the kind of success she has. Her work as a business strategist is grounded in the belief that anyone can overcome obstacles and reach their potential with the right mindset and guidance.
