We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Maria Langella Sorgie. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Maria below.
Maria, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today How did you come up with the idea for your business?
My business is SorgieWrites LLC. I came up with the idea because I am an author. I love writing and creating. I love books. Doing what I love is who I am and my business reflects that.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
SorgieWrites LLC encompasses my writing and publishing business. My books include a series called The Earth Keeper Trilogy. Follow the Earth Keeper’s on their journey to save the environment and heal the planet. The series is available in both book and audiobook format. My fourth endeavor is a children’s book called Joey and his Superhero. This award winning book follows the journey of a non verbal child and his road to communication through his connection with his stuffed Superhero.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
Starting a business is not for the weak hearted. I have started other businesses in my life and failed. Those failures helped me learn what to do the next time. And definitely what not to do. My mindset to keep trying is my greatest resilience to failure. I pushed past the failures and continue to fail and triumph. It’s a journey with ups and downs. Good books , mediocre books and successful books. There is always more to learn and being open to that is so important in business. It’s not an overnight success and the hard makes it worth it.
Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?
I started out working in the horse industry for a number of years and wrote on the side. As I got older it became harder for me physically so I pivoted towards writing full time. It was a huge jump financially to take off on my own without a steady check every week. A scary pivot to be honest. There were many times I had to take part time jobs to supplement my writing. Also the time that I took off to start a family and raise children. So many changes in my life and careers. I gained so much from all of it and I realized the best thing to do in your life is to do what you love.
