Marie Forleo introduction
Hi!
I'm Marie
You have gifts to share with the world and my job is to help you get
them out there.

Have you ever met someone who genuinely loves what they do? Theyll
often quietly confess, You know I love it /so much/that it rarely
feels like work.
*People like this have hit the career lottery. *Theyve found a way to
earn a living doing meaningful, profitable work that perfectly aligns
with their skills, strengths and experience.
But what if those folks arent just lucky? What if there was a way you
could crack the code and get your own golden ticket to livelihood
Shangri-La, too?
Because lets be real. When youre creative and ambitious not knowing
what youre meant to do quickly becomes one of the most overwhelming,
frustrating, anxiety /and/shame-inducing struggles of your life.
You dont have to choose between doing what you love and making a good
living. @chrisguillebeau

At least that was my experience, when I was first getting started on my
path <http://www.marieforleo.com/2015/06/if-i-only-knew/>.
If you or anyone you know is struggling to figure out what you
/should/be doing with your life, have a listen to my conversation with
my friend and best-selling author, Chris Guillebeau.
Hes just written an entire book on the subject called /Born For This/
<http://amzn.to/1RzFVfy>and today hes sharing some of the key lessons
you need to find the work you were born to do.
Two parts of this wonderful conversation that I think youll love.
* Why both myself and Chris fiercely believe that Everyone should
think like an entrepreneur. (You need to hear this whether you plan
to run a business or not!)
* The reason Chris believes that, Winners give up all the time.
Since this is a topic close to my heart, here are three other episodes
thatll help you find clarity and perspective to move ahead.
* Why You Shouldnt Ask What Should I Do With My Life? and Ask
/This/Instead. <http://www.marieforleo.com/2014/11/life-purpose/>
* How To Find Your Special Gift, Even If You Dont Think You Have One
<http://www.marieforleo.com/2015/03/special-gifts/>.
* Why Youll Never Find Your Passion

Great video! Really needed this today!
Im not as young as I used to be and I feel Ive wasted so many
years (45) of them) spinning around in circles. But I know I have to
figure this out soonotherwise Im going to have a lot of regrets. :(
Ill grab a copy of your bookhopefully it will help me.

Tracy, Keep in mind that Julia Child didnt publish her first
cookbook until she was 49 (I think that is the correct). So we
all know her as a chef but that journey didnt start for her
until later in life.

And, as a baking & pastry school student at the age of 51,
that gives me SO much hope! Sometimes I forget it, and I
start feeling panickedlike the clock is ticking, and I am
running out of time, and I must hurry and figure out what
direction to go after schooland on and onand then I feel
overwhelmed, afraid, and rushedwhich I know is not
conducive to either intuitive or rational thought and
decision making! So, thank you for reminding the more
mature crowd of Julia. You are very kind!

Janet and TracyIm with ya, 38! I listen to Napoleon Hill a

between 40s-50s! No need to get in a hurry because its
just a natural experience we are all having to find and
establish ourselves. I loved this episode!! Those 2
questions are so key in plans I am making now, and in the
moments I recently gave up a career! I feel incredibly
excited and at peace from hearing this messageshout out to

Marie, the new website is so smooth, classy and inviting! Gorgeous!
Todays episode is a great reminder about flow and asking if theres
still joy in what you do, even if there was at one point, things can
change. My favorite takeaway was the permission to quit. If its not
working and doesnt bring you joy what is on the other side of
continuing?

Great conversation. I think the money part is the new awarenessat
least for mebut not as in the context it was presented. Meaning,
yeahif its NOT bringing in the money, the joy is fore sure
stressed. However, however, however: Weve been caught/taught that
only certain routes bring money. Collective beliefs have built
structures like cages, cubicles, prisons, that keep us from
connecting to the idea that hey, what you love to do, is valuable
and it CAN support you. But YOU have to open the bridge to
see/feel/believe/allow that. B-School community is invaluable in
shifting the limits of what is impossible to possible. I think that
is so RIGHT NOW. Opening to the unconventional, the creative, the
out of the box BELIEFS that abundance/financial flow, is as
limitless as you are. I love you Marie. You carry that energy and
stir us all. XOXO

Hey Chris! This episode of MarieTV was just what I needed this
morning, and I hopped right on Amazon and bought the Kindle
version of your book. I have the joy & the flow which is
awesome, and Im grateful for that. But Im in hobby territory
still as I havent figured out the money part. I end up putting
so much time in to each clients project (because its fun),
that my effective hourly rate is less than that Burger King job
you were talking about! I look forward to reading your book and
delighted to be introduced to you today by Marie.

I think the joy, money, flow concept is extremely smart as a
litmus test for action. However, what frustrates me as a
non-conformist (even one who has spent years on researching and
trying different ways to make a living), is how challenging it
is to savour joy and flow when you do something creative (like

fiction writingmy first book out next year), but falter on the
third: money. The creative life feels like a constant,
exhausting tug of war. And marketing was lucrative, but I feel
no energy/passion in it anymore, even when working with
values-based firms. I embrace storytelling, over metrics and
sales and SEO and click-throughs. So the struggle itself becomes
so soul-sucking. I end up feeling lost, confused, moving in all
directions at once, and feeling like a perpetual outsider. Where
do you turn, when youre reasonably resourceful, intelligent,
very well educated, and creative, but have found life kicking
the stuffing out of you in terms of making a living?

I hear ya Lori! Ive been in marketing for years now but
consider myself creative.
Im great at my job, and the flow bit is definitely there,
but after changing to a values-based organisation in search
of meaning in my work, Im still not getting the joy (and
because we are a not-for-profit org Im now not getting the
money either!)
I tried to resolve it by starting a blog, but Im facing
similar issues as you I love the writing, I love
connecting with people, I like to think Im good at it and
I reckon I could potentially make some money from it if I
followed the advice out there on making your blog
financially viable; but as soon as I think about moving it
from a hobby to a business it takes the joy away, and I feel
yucky about it!
Im off to get Chris book and hope that has some more tips
for me!
Thanks Chris and Maree, and thanks for naming up your
struggle, Lori!

I love the ease and flow with which you talk about these subjects!
The biggest take away from this episode is to use your happiness as
an indicator for how to movr along your path, but ALSO look at how
what your doing is interacting with the world. For most of my life
Ive always only looked at hapiness and ignored the fact that it
still needs to be viable in order for me to happy. Im in the
beginning stages of my path to finding a career and being
financially independent. I know that I have a great heart and ead
for the journey as well patience. Thank you for reminding me to try
out new ideas and to let things go when its time, to be aware, and
most importantly to realize that it doesnt happen over night.

Merci !! Thanks for this episode, which brings me back 10 years ago,
when I walked away from a paralegal job to find what could bring me
joy (and money). I listened to the signs, the synchronycity and
wound up in an Event Planning job, and eventually created my own
business in the field. I had vowed to avoid anything lukewarm,
anything as Chris says that was either not working OR not making
me happy. Thank you for putting words on a concept that I have been
holding dear for the past 10 years.
Great job, again, Team Forleo!!

Wonderful video and I have to buy this book. I love the idea that it
is ok to let it go and walk away. I am 42 years old. Working a full
time job that brings no pleasure or fulfillment and I am running a
part time business. I am newly married. I have been doing both the
unfufilling job and the business for three years and I am getting
burned out. Herein someone say it is ok to let go of what isnt
working is a relief. Now I just have to figure out what to let go
of. The unfufilling job that provides money and benefits or the
dream business that I love but provides very little money and no
benefits thank you again Marie and Team Forleo for the perfectly
timed video. Much love to you all. Monica T.

I dont know what your dream job is or if the money piece is
viable there but it sounds like the unfulfilling job is missing
BOTH the joy and the flow. And I dont think its possible to
manufacture those Something to consider. The message I got from
this episode is that we need to have all three of those
ingredients to feel happy and successful. Best of luck!

Great Video !!! I really needed this.
I believe there is a very thin line between deciding when to give up
and when not to give up & its so important to master this decision
(making a correct decision) in every aspect of our life.
I feel if we think about what we want in our mind & make that our
dominant thought, well bring that into our life :-)

Great video, thank you. Im ok at being an artist and greetings card
designer/ publisher, they sell and feedback is great but I think
Im only OK at it and it doesnt pay all the bills. Its hard to
know whether to pack it all in and do something else or just carry
on being mediocre at it. However, its a job that allows me to work
from home and be a mum which Im awesome at. BUT I want to be more
commercially successful so your video has prompted me to do a bit
more soul searching and see if Im missing something deep within.
Many thanks again Marie and the team. Love what you do!

Wow! I feel relieved after the episode. It came in at the right moment.
My biggest take away is about giving up, or allowing yourself to
move on.
I started my small biz last year at the same time as B-School, and
by now I started to realize that it isnt working so well and Im
not really excited about doing it. So I had some thoughts about
moving on, but was too ashamed to give up. Thank you for the insight
and a chance to quit with peace of mind :)

Oh, this episode is so true of the path that most people take. I
remember while I was working toward what I really wanted to do
(professional photography) I worked several different jobs that
helped me gain the experience I needed but I always kept my eye on
the prize and when it was time to go, I left without turning back.
All of those experiences were needed to get me to where I am today!

Loved the video especially the quote Quitting is a valuable skill.

I left a 23 year teaching career to launch a new business and career
as a health coach and I have never been happier. While I loved
teaching, the system had become toxic. I had to quit and trust
that the restlessness I was feeling had a purpose in getting me to
be where I am supposed to be. Thanks again for the inspiration.

I wish you every success and joy in your future pathway,
Kathleen! It takes a lot of courage to do what you have done, I
know as I have done exactly the same as you, after the same
length of service for exactly the same reasons to set up my own
counselling practice. And I dont regret a single minute, even
when it gets tough. I went back to teaching for a year out of
fear and quickly realised why I left the first time. When I have
a wobble I reframe Chriss simple questions of does it bring me
joy and is it working into the past tense and I quickly snap
back to the present and look to the future, and not wallow in
the nostalgia of the past. A wonderful episode, I will be buying
Chriss book and the new look website is inspiring. Thank you,
Marie and your team, for Inspiration Tuesdays!

I believe once you know what you are meant to do (i.e. purpose or
purposes), there is a transition period of incredibly hard work to
pave the way to allow you to do work you love full-time for profit.
Currently, Im working on my first Young Adult fiction novel. Im a
storyteller, and thankfully employable as a content strategist for
emerging and established brands. I juggle my personal writing time
with client work, and I realize there will never be a more perfect
time to pursue my purposeful dream than now.
I love Chris. Ive gone to the World Domination Summit twice now,
and its the best non-conference-y type of event filled with
inspiration, practical approaches, amazing people, and incredible
Portland atmosphere. xo!

This was a great episode on gaining clarity through confusion,
especially for me as I am one that has many interests and choosing
one was just something I could not do for the longest time. My
number one takeaway was hearing Chris say that quitting is a great
skill. I have always had that ability to walk away from things that
werent working it is highly reassuring to hear someone agree with
me finally that that is not a bad thing.

Thanks Marie and Chris!
Sometimes finding a better way forward boils down to those 2 simple,
yet fundamental questions is it working? and am I happy?. Thanks
for the reminder!

Thanks Matie and Chris! Just what I needed to hear this morn, esp.
joy/$/flow, expand options THEN throw away what doesnt bring joy,
and perserverance is good for some goals but not all of them!
Yes! Exactly what I needed. And Id add: show yourself compassion on
the process and for mistakes youve made, compassion for making a
wrong turn, etc. Why is it so easy to show others compassion but
not ourselves?
THANK YOU!

Myra <http://myradwyer.com/>
I wanted to become an artist (painter) but did not pursue it until
my daughters were grown and I was 50. Finally, I started painting
and entering in exhibits even when my work was not so good. I pushed
myself and learned everything I could about painting. Ten years
later, I co-manage an art studio with nine artists and regularly
sell my paintings. I have won some first place awards and even sold
five paintings to a famous golfer.
It is never too later to reach for your dream. I often think of
where I would be if I had focused on just the art instead of having
a job. Then, I realize I am where I should be at this time. My past
experiences help me express myself in my art. Painting is my passion
and my joy. It grounds me for the other areas of my life. I still
have a job that I love and paint as often as possible. Thankful that
I have lots of energy! Love this episode Marie!

Hey there. I have a book for you!! Marie, Marie, pick me. picture
the kid going uh, uh, and raising her hand so high shes coming up
outta her seat. Im the author of the book below, and you havent
had any interviews like mine, not even close.
http://www.janreynolds.com/books.html will show you my book cover,
and you can check out my site. I hold world records for climbing and
skiing, and I set them on all male teams, and Im a female. Then I
lived with an indigenous tribe on each continent, solo, and created
a book series called Vanishing Cultures.
With my male/female experience, and then walking back in time living
with indigenous tribes, I can give you such a perspective concerning
who we are, where we come from, and where we are going. Right now
Im being hired to lecture and provide workshops for the corporate
and military worlds about how men and women can work together
better, and to support the females in any androcentric environment.
Ive lived it.
Ive been interviewed by Jane Pauley, Bryant Gumble, and Tom Brokaw
all separately on the Today show, so feel very at home in an
interview. I specialize in supporting women, creating balance of
power in the workforce, and just plain going for what you love to do
in this world It was heartbreaking for my parents to watch their
daughter go risk her life time and again, with these great big guys,
over in the Himalaya and beyondbut for me, there was absolutely
nothing else in the world I wanted to do at that time. No regrets,
and living big choices every day, every hour, and thriving on it.
Now I have about 20 books out, many for children, and I work in
schools inspiring children to go for it, whatever it is that catches
their fancy. pick me, pick me, for MarieTV, please send this to
Marie, Thanks, youre a pal!

Love this episode so timely! My 9-5 position is being eliminated
at the end of June and I now how the opportunity to take my side
hustle (online marketing + copywriting) full-time. My biggest
takeaway from this episode is that its okay to pursue multiple
business ideas, especially at first, until you gain a good sense of
what will bring the most joy, money, and flow. I have so many ideas
swirling around right now and have been trying to lock in on ONE
great ideanow I feel liberated to try on multiple ideas for size.

Thank you so much for this. Ive been debating on whether or not to

on. Im not loving it anymore; Im just ok at teaching the classes;
Im still losing money on it; and Im not getting as many people in

change or take a step back is just what i needed. All of those
points were so helpful. Ill definitely be buying that book!

Its difficult to let something go I had a lovely boutique
that supported Canadian artists predominantly women. I loved
that I was creating space for women to gather and connect and
that I was also supporting women who were taking a bold leap of
faith to make a living from their art. I loved what I had
created but 6 years in when I checked in on my core values
(something I should have done years ago!) I discovered that
FREEDOM was my number 1! With this came the realization how
confined and restricted my business made me feel. That was an
incredible light bulb moment. When the time came and I was ready
to let go to pursue my passion and my joy it was difficult
because although I was ok with the transition other folks didnt
want to let go! I so hear you Kristi and I have to say
congratulations to you for taking a leap of faith to try
thats just awesome because as Marie is forever telling us
clarity comes with engagement well done YOU!

Over Seven years I spent my life creating a website that I thought
for sure was going to be solving all the fashion boutiques problems
all over the world by my genius called digishon.com. Cut too seven
months ago ( 7 is my lucky number) just returned from having taken a
two month sabbatical to Central America and it dawned on me that I
was no longer in love with this concept. First my choice to create
this business had come at a time when the housing market collapsed,
but when I saw my friends at Squarespace and Uber get funded and I
wasnt getting any VC monies, I kept at it. It never clicked. Maybe
deep pockets had wanted to give it to someone prettier, smarter or
had a better pedegree than me, but I didnt even realize I stopped
wanting to do this, and was increasingly dreading this. Looking back
I had been making a symbiotic choice to not go back and get an MBA
and instead took a chance on learning a technology business. I had
not been failing, I had been learning how to make something out of
nothing in a business I hadnt known much about. Here I was July
2015 and I knew instinctually, I was done. Not because it had sucked
at it, I was quite good at it, but it had groomed me to learning the
problems of a tech startup. Today I am a storyteller for technology
and fashion, brands and businesses all in the line with my core
competencies. I love marketing, and writing and teaching all in the
name of helping lead a businesses grow and become part of the
positive conversations with their customers and audiences.

Oh my goodness! This episode is right on time. I am also a
multi-passionate entrepreneur and everyone keeps telling me to focus
on only one thing. But at times it feels impossible! This advice hit
me right in the sweet spot. First, giving myself permission to try
many things and see what works. Secondly, to be more conscious about
what I do and what I quit. I love the joy, money, flow idea. I
love the idea that if it doesnt give you joy when you think about
it, dont do it. This episode really helped me put things in
perspective. Thank you. As always.

This is one of my favorite videos yet! (hard to pick just one as I
love so many of your videos Marie.) I really needed to hear this as
it is something Ive been struggling with for the past several
years. I am the type of person who has been trying out a bunch of
different things and as a result ended up running 2-3 businesses as
once (but hardly making a profit)! Ive always struggled with where
to focus and have found Im good at many different things, but it
has spread my energy too thin. Ive known for a while I need to let
something go that has been taking all my energy for the past four
years and that just isnt working well enough. Its taken me the
last several months to even come to terms with this and accept it
(because I was so focused on not giving up) But it is okay, I love
that this video reminds us it is okay to move on and often for the best!

Best takeaway from the show nine easy words:

Thanks for this episode! Ive already started processing these
questions for myself around several different issues. And the best
part is that I was starting to ask myself these questions already
but my inner critic was coming up and telling me a bunch of
shoulds that would have compromised these things for myself. Its
so great to hear successful people saying the things my intuition
was trying to tell me already.

Thanks Marie interesting subjects and i like it the way was tackled
by your guest Chris.
My question is: when ones is trying a new activity at what point
should one ask oneself if it is working and eventually decide to get
off without being a quitter? Since a new enterprise or a new job
always require effort and perseverance well beyond the initial
expectation, just asking is it working can be very deceptive! Any
rule of thumb?
Reply

Great question, Cristina. I wonder if it can be something you
continually ask yourself over time to gauge if the response
changes, since there might not be a standard timeframe that can
apply to every situation. Perhaps youll hit a point where your
response is the same each time you ask yourself, and youll know
better if its working for you or not.

The Joy/Renumeration/Flow triad is so succinct and on point! I am in
a class studying the great early titans of American industry, and to
your point that not everyone knows what they are meant to do or what
direction to go from early on, John D. Rockefeller was a
bookkeeper/accountant, who became interested in selling/trading
commodities. He only later stepped into the oil refining business
(which he astutely saw as a burgeoning opportunity), but when he
did, his eagle eye for numbers and details and balancing the books
allowed him to eventually become probably the richest American of
all time!

Thank you, this was great.

Im at a point were Ive got so many things I want to do but dont
know where to focus my energies. Having spent my life not working
for myself but for others I now beginning to look at what Im born
for. I recognise the importance of always being self employed even
if youre working for someone else.
I feel relieved to hear that its okay not to focus because I get
stressed and feel I want to give up if I have to choose something
now and repeatedly get told you have to focus on one thing and
chase 2 rabbits and catch none. I think I need to recognise Im
just not quite there yet as frustrating as this is sometimes.

My main gig is doing makeup+hair for wedding for over the last

waxing, beauty blogging, etc).
Some of those other choices (even though somewhat related to what
Im already doing) I had to give up on, as they totally were not
working.
But photography and blogging were/are kind of working, but not. Now
Im on the fence about whether to drop them entirely or tweak

I actually was inspired to send this to my daughter, and I bought
the book for her Kindle! Its great to hear concrete thought points
such as when you think of doing something does it make you feel bad?
Or, if it works and makes you happy then you are on the right track.
or, its ok to quit if its not working. I almost quit my business a

year ago after 8 years of struggle but gave it a defined time period
before making a decision and then everything exploded for me, in a
good way. The joy part is so important, because if its not working
but you love it it helps to hang in there.Thank you for another

Your video with Chris came at a pivotal moment in my life. I found

time to move on. At 60, I dont have a lot of time left to find my

gives me permission to chase Joy and let the money follow.
From the video I took away this free-write that I am about to do:

The most powerful nudge from this episode is GIVE YOURSELF
PERMISSION TO SUCCEED AND TO LET GO.
Wow. That really hit me where it hurts but happy to hear it. Every
now and again we need to remind ourselves that its ok not to follow
the tradition lines of business and success. Being a little
adventurous with our lives stimulates our creative juices and helps
us be who we really are. The traditional way of getting a job and
doing the 1, 2, 3 will be there if we want to go back to it. But I
dont think you will once you get a taste of that good old freedom.

however, financially, it has been tough. I wonder sometimes whether
this is really what I am meant to do?
Every now and then Ill think about what I would like to be in

interested in people, the mind and how we think. I think about
back to school sometimes to pursue this, however, I feel maybe
thought process is whats holding me back from really hustling

So glad to hear its ok to experiment for a bit and ok to say no.
I love photography but put it off for most of my career because it
wasnt the corporate path I thought family and friends wanted me to
take.
Ive been working on making photography a business for the past 3.5
years. Since deciding to give it a go, Ive tried so many types of
photography from babies to weddings to food, to corporate work. I
spent time weeding out the areas or styles that I could do but
didnt love to do or areas that were too technically complex for me
to master.
Now that Ive experimented and honed in on my specialty, Im able to
charge ahead knowing that Ive found my niche and can feel confident
knowing that its where I belong (for now).

This was such a timely piece! I am a text book case of what happens
when you keep going with something that isnt working and doesnt
make you happy. 2 years ago I realized that I was no longer happy
were I was and that it really did not meet my needs and didnt align
with my values; but I stayed for fear of not finding something else
(theres a nugget o wisdom never stay with something that is
draining your enthusiasm for fear of not finding something else).
Really that should be the signal that it is time to try something
else. In my case, my inaction prompted the universe (or whatever you
want to call it) to squeeze me out like a tick and force me to look
for alternatives. Now, as if by divine timing, comes a discussion on
How to find the work you were meant to do! I am so grateful to you
for the work you do Marie (and team Marie); thank you for bringing
insight and inspiration. p.s. The new website looks great!

Hi Marie,
I love this episode. Listening to Chris talk about winners giving
up brought a saying to my mind. Albert Einstein once said, the

definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again
and expecting different results. With the two key questions Chris
mentioned 1) is it working and 2) am I happy, I believe it will be
easier for me to get out of the insanity cycle and realize that its
ok to quit and move on and with practice realize sooner when that
time to quit arrives.

new web-site on my own and it had been taking a long time to
finalize. So I know very well about feeling like I am going in
circles. I try to visualize where and how my life should look like

One thing that Chris mentions in this episode thats also
something Marie often says is that we can gain so much more
clarity by continuing to take action than oftentimes we can by
thinking. Definitely keep trying things on and pushing yourself
to take small actions in new directions, and then listen to your
gut on the joy factor and checking to see if its working.

Great video! I took away the value in giving yourself permission to
experiment with a variety of things, to explore, to use these
experiences to get clarity around what you are born to do and also
what makes sense for you to do in your business. Great, great stuff.
Thanks so much!

Permission to quit! In October of 2014 I walked away from my high
powered corporate job, money, power, success, and being at the top
of my industry. It took me five years to get unstuck from that rut
because it looked good on paper. In my new life space of
figureoutable, I am totally inspired today as I hear Chris elevate
this revelatory idea! I am clear that my purpose is to raise the
vibration on the planet, now I pray to Spirit everyday may the path
be illuminated before me.

Ive seen these three things joy, money, flow but with other names
passion, market to sell, ability, etc. And Im using them as a
guide, but most of the time Im confused, I feel like I dont have
all the information, all the focus I need, I feel like some things
are in front of me and I cant see them. I feel like I need a brain
cold shower to wake up almost all the time.
I wish I could move faster.

Liliana, youre not alone in having those feelings of impatience
with your own progress. However, its so much more important for
you to keep making progress of any kind by taking action and

trying things, than it is to do it quickly or at a certain pace.
Dont give up, and be extra kind and patient with yourself.
Were so glad you tuned in today.

Hills, we hear you. Thats a really tough one, and something
only you will know the full answer to without us knowing all the
inner-workings, struggles, and whats not working.
As Chris shares in this episode, sometimes its a matter of
tweaking things so that they do work maybe hiring more out,
raising your prices, taking more breaks to do other things you
love, etc.
We have a great episode on how to know when to close down a
business, and Ill pop that link in below for you hope it
gives you some food for thought. Keep listening to that heart!

Lots of great insights on when to walk away and how to tell when you
are doing what you are meant to do. I have a question though, I have
always wanted to be a psychologist and my greatest strength is
listening and helping people realize their potential. But for
various reasons I did not go to university and am now 43. Im not in
a position to go back to school but would love to live my strengths.
Is it necessary to get a life coach certificate and if so, is there
a more reputable one I should be looking at?
Reply
ond>
*
Hi Jenn! It depends on your experience and what type of coaching
youd like to do, and there are specific laws around
certificates and licensing depending on the services you want to
offer. Anything that resembles counseling or therapy does
require a degree and formal training, but there are all
different kinds of coaching that do not.
Finding the right program for you and what youre most hoping to
impart is a deeply personal decision, so if you feel you need or
want further training, we recommend just starting to look around
at the options and thoroughly evaluating what they offer to see
if its in line with your goals and learning style!

Hey Chris & Marie!
Love this topic so much too! Its been a passion of mine for years
and years! What would the world look like if everyone was doing
something they loved??
Such great questions and tips and tools to use throughout the
journey Chris, so thank you for that support. (gotta check out the
book now!)
I definitely resonate with the letting go and quitting aspects
as I did this over the holidays. I let go of everything, focused on
my family, and received so much clarity and inspiration that the
work I am doing now is so much more aligned and coming from a space
of inspiration and love.
Lovin this beautiful new site Marie! Wow! What an accomplishment

My biggest takeaway was that it was okay to let go. I recently let
go of a job that did not make me happy- many in my inner circle
questioned that decision, but I felt it was imperative, righteous
even, to walk away. This episode is a reminder to continue on this
path of self-realization- that there are others that have walked it
before me and succeeded. Thank you!

Hi Marie, as usual there is not one single piece of inspiration I am
taking away from this, but instead many. Chris is amazing! and
quietly so. I am impressed hes not a person that jumps around to
get you going. Instead, just his words ring true and gave me Ah-Hah
moments. I love your insight that his advice can be applied to
revenue streams when deciding if you should move ahead with a client
or project. Is it financially viable? Is it deserving of your time?
Excellent! Thank you Marie & Chris!

Great advice but how can this be more effective than Ill just
stumble around and say Yes to everything until something sticks?
Ive been self-employed for over 16 years and often it feels more
like sales than passion. It seems that, more often than not, I am
trying to be so confident that I am agreeing to things that Im not
actually an expert in, just to land the gig.
Id be really interested in an episode that was how to narrow your
offerings instead of expanding them.
That being said, this was a beautiful slice of inspiration for the
day. Thank you!

Karen, so glad you enjoyed the episode and were inspired by it.
There are definitely some pieces of advice that Chris and Marie
share in this episode, especially around 11 minutes in to 15
minutes in or so for how to narrow down your offerings or
revenue streams. If you didnt make it to that part yet, I
highly recommend giving those 5 minutes a watch.
There are two questions Chris mentions that you can absolutely
ask yourself and apply to revenue streams, and not just career
path decisions. Based on what you shared, it seems like things
are working for you, but not bringing you joy. So it sounds like
it may be time for some tweaking and restructuring!
Thank you, again, for watching today.

The single biggest takeaway for me is just to go try different
things. At 45, I have been a graphic designer for 20 years, and I
like what I do, but I have felt for some time that there is
something more for mebut what? I used to do creative things outside
of work just because I enjoyed doing them. Recently, I realized that
I have not done this in the past 5 or 6 years. So, I think taking
the time to be creative on my own terms again, and trying new things
may open something up for me. The challenge for me is to not be tied
to an outcome, but to simply enjoy the doing so that I can feel the
real joy of it.
Thank you, Marie.

Today is my 58th birthday and I so relate to all of us who are
saying things like Ive wasted so much time. Ive done many things
in my life: taught middle school, worked in book stores and
libraries, done natural resource management for the Feds, while
raising kids and being married. I trained as a life coach a few
years ago, but coaching doesnt feel like flow or joy to me. What
Im good at is learning and organizing what I learn so others can
understand it more easily. And thats so fun for me! So here I am,
58 years old, letting the coaching go and embracing myself as a
researcher/writer. That feels good! Thanks for joy, money, and flow,
and for the encouragement to quit something thats not working.

with nice people and follow my dreams. I am approaching my 30th
birthday soon and want to find my way in life. And after this video
I understand, why I felt so many times miserable at my previous

payment. Other times money was great, but the job itself not so
much. Thanks a lot to all of you Marie Forleo team Ala

So, Ive been a very quiet participant. I usually dont leave
comments, but I needed this video SO BADLY! I finished college with
honors, 6 years ago and I knew the moment I took my first job that
the career Id chosenwasnt for me! I studied Graphic Design, and
though I love some aspects of it, on the daily basis you really
spend most of your time behind a computer, and all I wanted to do
was be outside, or doing any other number of activities.
So I would just quit my safe job, do something completely different
for a while (working as a nanny, decorating rooms, baking cupcakes,
anything I could think of, really) and then I would go back to a
company or advertising agency, because I wasnt making nearly enough
money to live in peace. I felt so unfullfilled. Everyone would tell
me to JUST PICK ONE THING, but I couldnt. I had to try everything.
I still kinda of do, and its so reassuring to hear that its OK.
Ive also discovered that amongst the things that make me happiest,
the ones I would do for free and that I absolutely love is
Photography. I dont know how good I am at it yet, cause Im just
getting started, but I feel so inspired when I do it. The feeling I
get while Im shooting, and even later when I actually have to sit
down on a computer and pick the pictures I want, is unlike anything
Ive felt before. I get surprised any time someone wants to PAY me
for doing it.
I also love telling stories, reading, researching, and discovering

all kinds of tales from the past and present. I would love to go
around the world doing this, taking pictures, making videos, and you
know what? Today it actually felt possible. Thank you Marie and
Chris. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

I love this video and the new web design!
I must say that the not giving up pressure is not just part of the
American culture. Coming from a Kenyan culture, there are many times
that I have had to stand my ground to my parents/family when I
decided that a path ( changing my undergrad degree to leaving
mid-way peace corps after a year of service) I was on is just now
working from me anymore.
Although I struggled with the shame feeling that followed when I
decided that I must figure something else out, quitting and
redirecting my energy to what my heart was telling me most always
brought about such phenomenal growth and unexpected discovery
(sometimes rediscovery) of what I enjoy doing, and reaffirms my
belief that the universe is friendly.
Incredibly my quitting events was not only valuable to me but also
my family. Though they dont fully understand what direction I am
heading, they (and I) can see that not every journey needs to be
linear to be successful.

Additionally, I had a traumatic accident at a young age, which

resulted in a spinal cord injury. I am paralyzed from the shoulders
down and rely on other people for all aspects of my daily life. I
feel like I never got the opportunity to try all different kinds of
things at a young age. Im still learning what gives me joy and what
flows for me. Now I have more tools to figure out. Thank you Marie

Hi Marie! Hi Chris!
This was another great video a few years back I read the $100
Start-Up and it inspired me so much. Im totally going to buy this
book, too!
From this episode, the biggest insight I am taking with me are the
two questions to ask myself: Is it working? and Am I happy?.
Because I believe, and feel, that it applies to everything in life
in addition to business. Such great, yet simple, questions to keep
yourself on the right path.
Obviously this also requires a lot of self-knowledge to be able to
determine when something is worth dropping because its really not
right for you and when you yourself are just not being patient
enough or hard-working enough. So theres that responsibility that
we have to take in our own lives and in our actions in order for
those questions to really benefit us.
Thanks again, Marie and Chris!

What was best for me to hear was that its ok to have many things Id
like to do, and that I can keep on do it until I find out what I am
best on and that focus on that.
I could also use the two questions Is it working? + Am I happy? to
make me understand that my latest relationship maybe isnt worth
fighting for
When its not working and I am not happy its better to stop.

What a great video! I am and have been stuck in the I cant give

have to keep going. The video today has brought a huge sense of
relief to me for a couple of reasons.
1)It is okay to quit what doesnt bring me joy or serve me. Thank YOU!
2) I am all over the map with my career ideas. I have been literally
punishing myself for the last month-overthinking, over processing
and trying to find 1 thing that I can focus on. I am a multi-tasker,
multi-thinker and honestly the thought of putting all my energy into
1 idea or job does not bring me joy. I like doing different things
and want to continue to have a variety of things I can do and rely
on. However, it is difficult trying to bring my ideas together or
figuring out what idea should go in what career path. I dont know
how to process that so I can gain clarity.

Some of the comments brought to my mind that there are some dangers
to always expecting the work you are meant for to bring you joy, or
in thinking that if the answer is No to the questions Am I
happy? or Is it working?, then it isnt what youre meant to do.
Maybe it isnt working RIGHT NOW because you are doing something
wrong, even some small, fixable, thing. And I have heard it said
before that all endeavours will have a U shape, and when you get to
the bottom of the U and cant see your way across to the other side,
things will get very hard and discouraging, but if you keep going,
you may get to the other side of the U. Now, of course, getting to
the uphill slope doesnt always happen. But I think it takes more
than asking Is it working? and Am I happy? to make a good
decision re whether or not to give up. I think you have to go on to
ask WHY isnt it working? WHY am I not happy? If it is because
fundamentally the work doesnt resonate with your identity and your
higher life goal, or if just is not financially feasible, then LET
IT GO (which I have done a few times). But if youre just
discouraged because things are not going well right now, then it may
not yet be time to quit.

Ive been a creature of creativity since I was born, love so many

Am involved with many entrepreneur hubs but they cater more to the
post figured-it-out part. I have often asked for resources of honing
in on *that thing* and replies are often vague and just go with
your gut or listen to your inside voice my inside voice is
either silent or is the star of a one man show with 21 characters in

Thank you Marie; you are an inspiration in the way you bring things
forward and the way you share them; so much insight and at the same
time focus! I love this video. I like the idea that no matter what
is the stage we are in our experience there is always a good time to
ask questions and explore, and ask ourselves if what we are doing it
is still the thing we resonate with; there is nothing fix in our
life and we can change that; I like the concept of the two
questions: is this working for me? and it is flowing?
I feel for my experience that things are not usually black and
white; I am in that place that I am not sure if it is really working
and still many thing I still enjoy and at the same time I know I
want a change. So I trust my intuition that is not yet time to let
go or give up , rather how can I transform this experience and
redirect it towards what I really want. I know nobody can give me a
straight answer for that, the only way to know the answer is keep
asking the questions while going through the process. Thank you
again for your amazing being!

Heres a question for Chris if he sees this: In contemplating the
difference between instinct and judgement what is a guttural no,
this isnt okay and what are my personal hangups I realized that
maybe the reason my freelancing business isnt doing better is
because I dont like my title. I have big judgements, big hangups
about the word copywriter because I believe
marketing/advertisement/persuasion (and the people behind it) are
partly responsible for, you knowBIG world problems. All the big
consumer issues, environmental and so forth. THAT SAID! I fall a
little bit in love with all my clients. They keep me around (if the
projects are ongoing), and Ive yet to work with a business that has
any nefarious motives. Have you ever encountered this? A person who
maybe has some skills in a field but theyre at personal odds with
it? Im working to reconcile this judgement, butthe resentment
seems to run deep. Thank you, Chris and Marie. P.s., the site is
beautimous!

Also, (hi, Caroline again:), I like weighty, dense, beautiful,
language-driven writing. I take memoir classes and travel for
writing residencies. I LOVE vocabulary. And copywriting has that
write like you talk, dont use big words, persuade, sell, etc.
ideology driving it. Its its own genre. Its not beautiful. But
it is a type of writing that could, potentially, pay the bills.
You see? Judgements. Okay, Im done :) Thank you again.

Whenever I watch Marie Tv I feel so much hope. It is nice to know
that being lost is actually a road to whatever my soul and heart
are craving! I struggle with fear and anxiety because I feel so much
pressure from myself and from my parents. I had to move out because
they think Im crazy and I over heard a conversation and they feel
sorry for me. Its exausting to try to explain something that I
cant explain, I can only feel. Ever since I was little I just love
adventure. Some call it trouble, I call it adventure. Thats why I
NEED to watch these videos, because it reminds me I AM NOT CRAZY!
haha. I finished my health coaching course, Im currently in B-School
and worked my a@# off to get both of these. I am going on a road I
am creating for myself and thats why I am always attacked when I
inform my parents what Im doing next. They know I am smart, and they
know that they cant stop me. How can enjoy this time of trying
different things? I keep repeating that everything will turn out
fine but its still hard to wake up and not feel like theres a huge
elephant on my chest. Maybe someone can relate?

First, I want to say Im head over heels in love with the new site!
And this episode was fantastic and right on time. The biggest
takeaway for me is that you dont have to feel the pressure to
choose just one thing to pursue. You can try several things that are
on your heart. I share with my coaching students that clarity comes
by taking action. As you take action on the idea it becomes clear to
you if its a fit or not. Thanks Marie and Team for all the value
you provide! xo Kim

After watching this episode, I just had to leave a comment! I just
finished my first book and am so excited to be a published author.
Im already thinking about my next book, and just this morning in
fact, I was stressing because I have a few different directions I
want to go (Id like to try fiction as well as nonfiction). I was
feeling overwhelmed by the traditional wisdom that says pick one
thing and go with it. When Chris talked about trying out different
things when youre just starting out I felt like I had my answer!
This totally lifted a weight off my little entrepreneurial heart :)
cant wait to read the book!

Chris said eliminate the ideas that dont bring you joy when you

forced myself to do things that I hate because everyone is saying
you have to do this if you want to be successful. No more after

Thanks, you two. I feel like youve just validated the entire
trajectory of my adult life! I spent the first 2 decades of it as a
school teacher, something I mostly enjoyed and was good at. People
were surprised, worried and confused when I walked away from it (it
was still working but I wasnt happy) to start a business doing all
kinds of different things, because Im also multi-passionate.
Over the past 8-9 years of entrepreneurship Ive been able to try
lots of things and gradually eliminate the ones that I didnt enjoy
or werent working. My art interest and teaching ability converged
and I now happily earn a living as a full-time artist, leading
community mural projects, team-building events, and teaching art
classes.
Its been a continual tweaking process, with lots of frustration
along the way because I couldnt, for the life of me, specialize
the way everyone told me I should. But now in hind sight I see how
each piece of the puzzle was being collected and shaped to fit
together, forming a joyful career. Best of all, I am equipped to
bring immense joy to others through the work that I do. (And
B-School is helping me sharpen my focus even more!)
I know Ill always be tweaking, but with the confidence that every
experience, good or bad, is helping to shape a more fulfilling future.

I just recently discovered Marie TV and since subscribing to the
show I have been binge watching episodes! Marie TV is so inspiring
and informative.
My single biggest insight is this nugget of wisdom:
When youre starting out, expand your options and do everything you
can to have a lot of different experiences. As you become more
successful and experienced, you limit.
I am so grateful that I have reached this point in my life where I
have a handful of options on my plate that I could see myself
pursuing and finding joy in. However, having all these options is
overwhelming and confusing to me. I didnt know where to start or
which one to pick. Now I know that I dont have to choose just one.
It is acceptable and encouraged to dabble in as many experiences I
can get my hands on and go from there.

Oh man, Marie. Divine timing with this video for me. First off,
thank you so much for all you do, for all the love you bring to the
world. When you talk about that being the work you meant to do, you
glow. We can feel it. And it makes a difference on a micro and macro
level. So, thank you so much.
The biggest insight I took away from this video was the fact that
its okay to a) make mistakes b) change up your career and go down
different paths.
When I was a little girl, I would wake up
downstairs, sit on the couch in the newly
got lost in stories. Hours would pass, my
come down, and Id have (in my 6 year old
at the crack of dawn, run

rising sun and write. I
parents would eventually
mind) a book to show them.
Another big part of who I was as a child was to be a loving, caring

person. I used to ask for a little sister for Christmas so I could
love someone up. My teachers wrote that Id give the shirt off my
back to fellow students. When I was in 4th grade, a boy flipped
over his handle bars on a bike outside of school and no one was
around. I found him badly hurt and alone. I ran and got a teacher
and although they told me it was okay to leave, I couldnt I stayed
with him until the ambulance and his parents came and I gave him my
sweater to squeeze onto when the pain got bad.
These aspects of who I was never left. I grew up and graduated with
Journalism, and then decided to try my hand in design. I went back
to school for design, graduated and started my own clothing line.
After knowing it was time to let that go, I applied for a job and
for the past couple of years, have designed childrens accessories
for a company out west. And yet, Im about to embark again on
another journey that feels so right I could cry. Ive decided to
take the huge leap into becoming a coach and helping businesses with
holistic/heart-centered branding.
This has brought up so much fear and like you said, I have times
where I feel schizophrenic. But this video reminded me that its
okay. ITS OKAY to try and fail and try again. I even get myself in
a tizzy when I dont know how to explain in teh correct terms WHAT I
want to do (a coach? image consulant? what is it?!). But youve
reminded me, that whos about WHO I want to be. And who I want to be
is someone who helps people feel safe, loved, and cared for.
Thank you Marie.
Best,
Devon

Thank you Marie and Chris for the permission to experiment. Thats
exactly what I needed to hear this week. I especially like the line,
do everything you can to have a lot of different experiences. I
say no to a lot of different experiences that sound wonderful but
dont have a clear path to monetization. In the absence of those
experiences, Im left guessing and longing for insight while
repeating old, safe work types. Its a relief to understand that I
dont have to know how my new experiences will turn out and that
saying yes to them might bring the joy, money, flow combo. Its also
comforting to give myself permission to continue doing my old work
while building up time and money for exploring the new things.
Marie, I also want to say that your teachings, everything is
figureoutable and engagement breeds clarity, not the other way
around, as well as your coined term multi-passionate entrepreneur
have kept the flame of entrepreneurship burning in me for years (I
started following you in 2008 and did B-school in 20013) even though
I felt stuck and overwhelmed my many different ideas. Todays
episode + your tried and true teachings presented ideas in such a
way that it clicked for meI now know what I need to say yes to
next. Thank you so much!

I love this video! I am one of these people who have known what they

that calling is that as actors we are so dependent on others giving

to do when so much of your career is dependent on others wanting

Ive lived your lesson this past week.
Im 67 and have a pretty easy job that lets me work from home and
get paid Alexandria, VA wages. The work has its few moments of
satisfaction, but its mostly monotony. I had told my self that 2016
was my last year and the exact date would tell me. Well last week
the work told me. The level of stupidity and incompetence rose
higher than I could stand. I looked at the calendar, and April has 3
paydays perfect I have a month of vacation saved up so I can at
least keep my health benes till June and then Social security will
kick in. And I get paid for a holiday while I am on vacation too.
I was commiserating with one of my former workers/bosses and he told
me he had a very successful business trip to Japan and asked if I
would help him out if they were in a pinch. Yea life is good.
So Im soon to be back to Joy, money and flow.
Great show, as always!

The point that you should let something go if you are not enjoying
it even if you are good at it and the other side of the coin you
are not great at it yet but you derive great joy from it! I am in
school to become an Equine Osteopath and as this is a complete
career change at this point in my life and I am loving it but
definitively struggling with it. I have been in IT for years and am
good at it but am also not deriving the joy I once did from the
work. Your video gave me things to think about. I would love to
create an online business that is somehow related to this field I am

studying but as I am a newbie its hard to figure it out and
structure it to make money. Thanks for all these great bullet points
to ponder on to make the path a bit clearer.

Wow, I cant believe how perfect this message was. Thank you, Marie!
I am enrolled in B-School and have been going through an unexpected
re-evaluation of my career path. I found myself with lots of inner
angst about whether or not I am in the right place and trying to
convince myself that its just me and I am trying to self-sabotage
the direction I already chose. As time goes on I am realizing I am
trying to work with others who are not on the same page as me
(business partners) and I am not here to change them. I am here to
change myself from within and it seems to be pushing me in a new
(slightly intimidating) direction. This video soothed my fears and
gave me a great tool, the two questions, to take action.

too detailed is just that YOU-REALLY-DELIVERED! WOW! Great Work!
Back to the episode, the most important lesson I learned from Chris
was: IS OKAY TO FAIL because it comes with AMAZING OPPORTUNITIES. As
you both said, society has programmed us to believe that we CANNOT
GIVE UP. But sometimes is okay to give up and try a new way, a new
path, a new career, a new love, or even a brand new life because you
never know what this new something may get you into. It might as
well be something as great as Marie TV. A round of applause for
everyone whos behind this great work.

Ive been struggling with this subject for a long time and go back

sticks with me are the two key factors that you have to ask yourself
1. Is it working? 2. Are you happy?
One of my favorite points from Tim Ferris (my alltime fav author) is
if the movie sucks, stop watching it if the recipe sucks, it
doesnt matter how good of a cook you are. Its ok to quit!

experience); Dont limit your options by getting too far in debt and
taking on too many responsibilities before you feel like you have
found what you were meant to do. I am 48 and still owe $40,000 in
student loans and am trying to give my three children opportunities
to become their best self and find their passions while working a

I loved the validation around quitting what 1) isnt working and 2)
doesnt make me happy. Ive always rolled this way, but often felt
judged as a quitter or a flake. But Ive learned that the only way
to grow and succeed is to take consistent action and accelerate
decisions. When youre regularly focused on taking the next best
step and doing so expeditiously, youre bound to take a wrong turn
here and there. No biggie, I say. Learn and pivot quickly, too.

This video helped me to get more clear about what Im doing. 6
months ago I started a 1 year coaching program, invested quite a bit
of money on it, and I am starting to feel like it is more busy work
than actually being inspiring. I have no idea if Im good at it,
even though I am getting coaching experience. I would have to give
it more time and increase my effort to know for sure if it will
ultimately make me happy (right now it isnt) and if it is working
for me (not sure yet.) I am committed to sticking with it for the
short term.
Answering the 2 questions, is it working? and is it making me
happy? will help me to make the right decision about continuing or
quitting. Mind blowing, really, for someone with a mindset that
winners never quit.

Its alright to give up on one dream and find another
I always have thought that I should do one job because Im good at
it and financially its great but happiness wasnt always a factor.
I had these unrealistic expectations for myself to be at a certain
stage in my life by now. Being able to see that I can venture into
many domains to find out what is right for me instead of just
choosing one is important. I am afraid financially how Im going to
expand to another job/graduate school but I feel much better after
seeing this video! Im 25 and am thinking of going to graduate
school to become a childrens librarian. People kept telling me that
it would be boring, not as impactful as being a teacher and more
negative aspects. I feel that might be my calling but honestly I am
afraid of financially affording it, losing insurance from not having
a full time job and more would this be the right thing to go for
myself? I feel much better after seeing this video but the fear of
the unknown is still there.

Love, love, love this video & topic you shared today! While I dont
particularly struggle with what it is I feel Im meant to do, I have
struggled with the confidence of pushing forward with it! I can
relate to all the major points Chris pointed out, but especially the
one about allowing yourself to experiment and try different
experiences. Ive done that in my own professional life, and what I
found is that I always come back to that burning desire of my dream
to be an entrepreneur and what I feel in my core I am meant to do.
With that being said, I have finally summoned the courage to put
that dream into the world. Like Marie, I also just launched my new
website this week! Btw, just want to say that your new site rocks
and Im loving the look. To Marie and the whole team thank you for
doing what you do. Ive been a fan for years and look forward to
every Tuesday for your informative and inspirational videos. I also
completed the B-School course 2 years ago, and although it took me
some time to launch, Ive stopped beating myself up about it and
know that action (at any time) is better than living with the
question of what if? You discussed this in your latest MF insider
email on the creative process and I truly felt you were speaking to
me personally:)
Again, thank you for being such a wonderful coach & inspiring force!

Great advice. I wonder what Chris would say to a Neophile (craver of

one endeavor Im getting paid the most for, is starting to bore me
the most, but Im good at it/it comes easy. The other endeavors
are a bit of the reverse they would be considered hobbies. Though,
wouldnt mind getting paid more for doing them. :)

for confirming, B-School!) and I think I know how I can contribute
to the world. However!!! I tried to go down that path and I wasnt
successful. I stopped trying (it was after the 2008 collapse) and I
just havent been able to find my way back onto the horse. I feel
scared. I let it become my story (the failure). I dont have the
financial resources to make it come alive again so I would need a
partner.
What do you do when you know where you should be but cant figure
out how to get there?

Totally hear you, Shannon! Those stories we tell ourselves are
so powerful My story is that Im really good at my craft
(coaching) but not good at business (which is why Im in
B-School as well). But, sometimes I think my story keeps me from
doing what is necessary to move forward. I can hide behind being
bad at business. It almost becomes an excuse for not putting
myself out there. :-/

Hi Marjorie,
Glad to hear you are in B School too. I think it is helping
but it also brings a lot of things to the surface. All good
in that we have to deal with them! I really hear you when
you talk about your story. It can be a great place to hid,
thats for sure.
Best of luck. xo

Hi Shannon,
You just spelled out my situation practically verbatim,
including timing and the sense of returning to something
unfinished (not yet failure, but six years is a long time to be
sitting in the same place); allowing that to define my story
and not having the financial resources to revisit options. Sigh.
Looks like were in the right place Hang in there!

Great job, Chris! And thanks, Marie, for hosting him! Us Boomers
were indoctrinated with the dont be a quitter mantra, so its
refreshing to know that that mindset is on its way out. And, at my
age, I appreciate this info as much as the new-to-careers and
career-changers! Finding meaningful work that brings in Chris Big 3
is a life long activity and creates that happiness of pursuit!

Your work or a career of your choice is very important. You have to
be very selfish in making a choice of your work because your
survival and happiness depend upon it. Most people have failed in
this department . I have notice that the parasites dont love their work

I want to THANK YOU BOTH for stressing out that its okay to quit.
So many people make us feel like failures when we leave something
unfinished even though it didnt feel right for us anymore.
I took an acting class that I loved but after starting my second
year in the same school, something was off. Plus, I had finally
joined a group of writers to help develop this skill and it felt
like home. I decided to leave and I have no regrets. Its not that
the school wasnt good, its that I found a home.

am good at them so can find the thing that I EXCELL at and the feeds

Like you Marie I have many passions and Ive started many projects

prayer to the universe and asked to show me the steps I need to take
to find out what it is that I should be doing. The next day I had
your email in my inbox magic! I stopped the video twice to write
things down, the first time when Chris talked about Joy, Money &
Flow and the second time when you said or he said, cant remember
Eliminate ideas that dont bring you joy when you think of them.
That was some great advice. And I think I can eliminate most of them
straight away. At least for now. If Im meant to be doing it, itll
come back to me. I guess the letting go is a big one for me, freeing
myself from the burden that some of these ideas and projects have
become. Thanks for your wisdom Marie and Chris. x

Great video! The biggest take away for me is Joy Money and Flow.
Love this concept. I also appreciate hearing that it is okay to
rearrange the puzzle pieces. Recently I retired to pursue my passion
of doing art. The sales are slow in coming. I feel that Ive found
my joy and my flow but the money is not happening (yet). So, its OK
to let go (of the idealized vision) of making a living from art and
to find a source of income until I have all my ducks in a row. And I
have Joy Money and Flow!! Thank you.

Wow. You made me realize that part of my struggle is I used to love

what I do and now Im feeling stuck and cant quit. Anyone who has
worked with me and knows me would tell you Im great at my job. Ive
loved it for many, many years but the boss I loved working with
retired and I wanted to try and make my hobby, my work. The
paralegal offers started coming in. Feeling pressured to make more
money I went on an interview thinking Ill shoot for the sky. I was
shocked and felt like I couldnt say no after they gave me
everything I asked for and then some.
I know people would say Im crazy to quit but Im in a larger firm
and not as happy. I do have good days but I just said to my husband
the other day my heart just isnt in it. Watching this just
confirmed for me its time to be done. I dont think a smaller firm
is even the answer. Its time for me to move on and I know it. But
its also scary. Thanks for all the support. I plan to watch the

The part about trying out different things has resonated with me.
Over the last 20 years Ive worked in different areas (English
teacher & trainer, translator, technical writer, care worker, and
youth worker) and completed three degrees. In most cases, jobs have
worked okay, Ive been happy enough, and it supports my family, so
Ive kept going with different projects which have mostly resulted
in mediocre satisfactory performances. This video and your free
audio training have been helpful in stimulating my thoughts on how I
could feel a greater sense of flow and enjoyment in my working life.
Although I dont know it yet, its encouraging to believe that I
could contribute something useful/something more to society and
experience the feeling of been born to do it. Thanking you and your
team. With best wishes, Adrian

I love this! As a college student, I feel like it is forced on you
to know RIGHT NOW what you are going to do after you graduate. As if
people expect you to have your entire career mapped out now.
Todays video really reinforced for me the importance of being open
to any possibility, to have the courage to both follow a unique path
as well as say no to something that is not making me happy and
bringing me joy. It is difficult for me to trust that everything
will work out once I graduate, even if I still dont yet know
exactly what I want to be doing.

This episode is such a nice validation for me Ive tried lots of
things, Ive felt like everyone else knows what path theyre on but
Im still faffing about trying to figure it out, AND Ive tried
things and then quit them and Ive always felt guilty, bad and
like a quitter for not sticking with things. I have also thought
if I did a course or a job and then by learning about that
particular career path I have realised Whoa! That is SO NOT what I
want to do with my life and so pulled out of it and moved onto
something else surely that is a good thing, rather than working
for years in that field and being miserable Im a super fast
learner and I think I do understand pretty quickly what I DONT
want. There are no things that Ive quit that I regret! So thank you
for making me feel like that path is totally valid.

I believe that the universe aligns to give you what you need and I
really needed this advice! I thought I wanted to become a doctor.
Ever since I was in high school that was my goal and then I kept
kind of working towards this goal but even when I tried applying
this past year I felt like my hear wasnt in it and like I was
dragging my feet. I think I was afraid to admit to myself and to my
dad, who has done to much to help, that it just didnt feel right.
Ive decided instead to apply to be a physician assistant and Im
still a little torn because I feel like Ive let go of something I
thought I wanted for so long and I have to say its really scary,
but Im finding that applying to PA school is flowing so easily,
like you said in the video. Its scary changing your mind after so
many years and going for something else but Im trying to think that
maybe this was what I was supposed to be doing. I look forward to
reading the book and gaining more tools and skills as I go forward.

This was such a great episode for me to watch. It I was great to
hear that it is ok to quit something that just isnt working. I have
a business venture that in the words of todays episode has become a
hobby. This venture does support itselfbut it does not support me
(financially). Although I have been very happy doing it, I have
started to see the pint of time it is taking away from spending time
doing things with my family and friends. One of the reasons I have
not quit is that I thought it would give the appearance that I had
failed. Yes, I said the appearance that I failed. As I write this
I find that I am actually spending my valuable time on
somethingjust to prove a point to other people that I did not
failsilly, huh? And all this time, I am sure the other people
arent even paying attention and couldnt care less if I quit.
So, I quit! I will fulfill my immediate commitments, all while
giving notice not only to those I partner with, but to me also. Wow!
How liberating!
Now I will have more time for family, friends, and me!
And I will have more time for my other business that I spring
boarded into off of a 25 year corporate careerand that I LOVE to do
and MAKES me MONEY!

What resonated the most for me when Chris talked about studying
accounting and that if he had been ok at it, he might have continued.
So what happens if youre ok at something, youve built up your
skill set over time, but inside you still feel like youre only ok
at it, even if you know youre way ahead of where others are with
this skill set (and so you could easily do this for others) do you
keep going (when you alternate days where you like it and days where
you want to throw the towel in)? or do you let it go?

As per usual, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your messages and who you bring on
as your guests; they all seem to resonate with how my journey is

evolving! Since I started watching Marie TV 3 years ago and being a
2014 grad of B-School, I personally have come full circle with my
passion. It originated in my late teems/early 20s and ended 14 years
later and it has taken another 20 years of many more experiments and
life experiences to land here again at age 52. Those experiences had
their success stories but in the end I know they were not The ONE.
It used to be difficult to start and stop my ideas because you just
cant help but feel like a failure or appear like you dont know
what you are doing you feel like a scattered bozo and these ideas do
cost lots of time, energy and money. But you do eventually realize
that it is ok and that permission button becomes visible and you
just cant give a rats .. I am very fortunate to have attracted
some very wonderful people with good energy who support my
ambitions, my obvious relentless crazy spirit and drive to not give
up till I land this sucker once and for all :)

Hi,
I really identified with todays video! I was 35 when I started to
pursue the life I was meant to have. I was so miserable because I
thought I should know at my age. I started trying things. I was a
driving instructor, I got my Masters in Industrial Design. Low
self-esteem kept me from sending my resume out. I had a decorator
work with my living room and in the process we made my coat closet
larger and changed the orientation of the closet doors. I designed
the interior of my closet and my first business was born: The Closet
Works. In the process of promoting my business, I taught a class at
the local community college, called One of These Days Ill Get
Organized. I discovered I loved being in the classroom with adults
more than crawling around in peoples closets.
From there, I had enough self-esteem to send out a resume and was
hired by a major University in the adult enrollment department. All
my colleagues had a Masters in Counseling. I was hired because I
started a business and had gone back to school as an adult. Around
that time, I realized what my lifes purpose was which is to help
people reach their full potential. When I looked back, I saw that
all of my jobs were aligned with helping others reach their full
potential, whether I was liberating women who were dependent on
others to drive them places, teaching them to use their space in
more practical ways or expand their organizing skills, in other
words, helping them reach their full potential.
I wont go into the details of rest of my journey but in the 40
years since I started this journey, Ive done personal and
professional development work with college professors, homeless
adults, staff, managers and leaders of a regional medical center,
classroom teachers and most recently with older adults as a public
health educator for a local health department. When I was 56 I got
my doctorate in Adult Education.
As you and Chris discussed, I expanded my options and then limited
my options. I am a Life Coach and will be retiring at the end of May
and am a bschooler, and ready to be an entrepreneur again. At this
point I express my purpose this way, I help people discover and
liberate the parts of themselves that are longing to emerge.
It really has been a magnificent journey! (And, its not over).

What I got from this episode is this that finding your passion /
what youre designed to do is a process! We can be doing a lot of
things right now, but once we decide that we need to do what were
called to do, we now shift our focus and determine that career that
just comes out naturally from us.

Marie,
Thank you so much for your videos! I love them they ground me and
help me. You are an inspiration. The biggest takeaway from this
video was that quitting is actually a major skill to learn. That
concept makes me feel more free to make choices based on what is
best for me, and not what society believes is best for me.
Important Question: What do you do when you love your job, but the
environment is overly hostile, sarcastic, and negative? I am an
outgoing, kind, and positive person, but this negative work
environment is starting to weigh me down. What are my options? How
can I continue to be positive without feeling tired and drained?
Should I persevere and hope for the best? Or set my boundaries and
move on? Please help!
Lots of love,
Haylee

Hey Haylee! Just wanted to share with you that I share a similar
sentiment. I just quit my job because I simply could not work in
an environment that you described negative. At first I thought
it was just me who was sensitive and negative, but then it
really started to take a toll on my mental health and my work,
to the point where I was just dragging myself every morning to
go to work. The employee turnover in that company was an average
of 2-3 months, so it said a lot about the culture too. I felt
drained and unhappy. As for your situation, is the job something
you wont be able to find in another company or work setting?
Ive learned that as long as you have the skill set and
disposition, youll find that job in many other places, not
just in one company or industry. So is it really worth staying
in that draining environment? As Chris said in the video: 1. Is
it working, and 2. Are you happy? :) Good luck and I hope you
find the answers!

Amazing! This came at such a perfect time. Ive been watching your
videos for a long time, Marie, but this is the first time Im
participating in the discussion. As always, your interview is packed
with valuable insights, not only because of your kick-ass guests,
but also because of your great interviewing skills.
The biggest insight for me is Quitting is a valuable skill. Im
27, and Ive been in various industries (non-profit, food industry,
education, heck even a year in graduate school, and now, a tech
startup) and still searching. One thing Im passionate about is
music, but Ive come to terms with the fact that its really a hobby
and a craft that not necessarily needs to be a career. I just quit
my last job at a tech startup because 1- It wasnt working, and 2- I
wasnt happy. As an HSP (highly sensitive person), being in a toxic
environment with an ego-centric boss was just not in line with my
values. I was also given a job title that I didnt apply for
project management assistant- and I suck at it. Its just liberating
to be able to free myself from something thats not serving me
anymore, and giving myself permission to continue with the search.

Its been my experience that you may know something youre great at
and have a strong desire to do, but the methods youre using to be
successful arent working. In which case, keep the dream but let go
of the how you think youll achieve it. For me, that is acting
have loved performing since I was a kid; Im a talented performer
and that joy has always persisted. Now in my early 30s I still
aspire to be a stage and film actor, but experience no current joy
from the pursuit. In fact, after going through some rough
circumstances that allowed me to step back and assess my life as of
this point, I came to the conclusion that I have been going about
achieving this in a narrow way the typical move to the big city,
work a meaningless day-job approach. Ive been doing this since
finishing grad school about 5 years ago, and its hindered my life
in various ways. And Im not even in L.A. or NYC yet the thought
of moving life there for more meaningless bread and butter work felt
so horrible to me. So I let it go and removed the hows to being
successful in the ways I desire from factoring into my perspective.
In its place, Ive been able to focus on happiness now and where I
find that that in love, new prosperity forthcoming, new paths that
utilize much of what I love and am good at (beyond just performing).
As new opportunities are showing up, new people coming into my life,
I feel even more sure that I will find my treasured success. It
first takes belief in yourself talents and desires, then an
openness to how. Marie and Chris are correct letting go brings
about a freedom. I didnt realize how I was trapping myself for so
long by so narrowly pursuing what I was/am meant to do. At this
point, the right work will come, the money will come but the joy is
already present because I know they are coming.

Great video my only criticism is Maries use of the term
schizophrenic. As a clinical psychologist (and human being!), I
feel very strongly about people incorrectly using mental health
terminology, especially when it can further stigmatise people living
with mental health problems.

OMG l loved this video and Chris concepts of Joy, Money and Flow
and also thinking like an entrepreneur every time. Finding your
purpose is a subject which should be thought in school to be honest.
The reasons being that there is a lot of cost in the entire
Universe through people not living their path as they are born to do
so. A lot of psychological , financial and many other problems occur
due to a lot of obstacles that people encounter. I love your concept
Chris not only it will encourage people to persue their paths with
much better understanding. I know how this feels because l have been
there before. l spent years running away from that most crucial
statement that my grandmother once shared with me You are not in
this world by accident. You need to find what your life purpose is.
And when you find this, your true happiness begins and goes all the
way down to freedom of your soul. Only then can you start to control
your own destiny.
I wish l listened and connect more with myself long time ago though
pretending as if that little voice which tells you to listen to your
gut is not happening it has a cost tag attached to it.

set aside one of my business (I wasnt happy) to pursue something
that I love and hopefully eventually find a way to make it into a

Ive been trying something I thought was right but Im not getting

it because I worry that giving up is failing and what that would
mean for me.
There is a different path thats been calling my name for a while
now and so I feel I need to be true to this. Its not so wildly
different from what Im doing now it just involves some rejigging
but I feel like its time to be honest with myself.

Great episode. My favourite nugget was that winners quit all the

sometimes what we are doing is producing just ok results and no
longer gives us that satisfaction that it once did. It is ok to take
what youve learnt and move on to new projects.

Eliminate ideas that dont bring you joy when you think of them.
This smacked me in the head! Everything about this video was like a
glass of cool water in the desert.
Im 52, still trying to get out of my own way, and yall have given
me permission to quit! Ive tried the blog, running an Etsy shop,
keeping up with my Facebook biz page..all because thats what
youre supposed to do to get yourself out there and get clients
who buy your stuff. But I spin my wheels and have NO time to make
art. Ive been living frustrated for several years, and Im no
further ahead than I was in 2007 when I began.
Because of our financial situation I work a day job I love (thank
God), and lately Ive had the revelation that I need to create for
joy in my free time and stop trying to force the creative life I
want to happen.
This was confirmation for me to just BE. because making art based
on what others will buy/like kills creativity.

However, I KNOW what I want to do, but I need a salary too, so stick
to a job that I do not like, but it gives me salary.
Meanwhile, Im writing a book on Confidence and wanting to grow a
business to coach people feeling stuck.
I also train groups on doing business with multi-cultures.
The issue is that I m absolutely not earning enough to live from,

Thank you for this video Marie & Chris! Quitting is a valuable skill
one that Ive misunderstood and underestimated. Just hearing those
words and explanation about perseverance being good for some goals,
but not all already makes me feel lighter and more motivated to keep
true to my heart. It also has helped me feel better about the
decision making Im doing to keep moving forward this week. Right
now Im in between leaving a job a was super passionate about (the
job changed so much I needed to leave for my own good) and
finding/creating a new work for myself. My journey has been a mix of
new experiences, learning, and growth and wonderful moments I didnt
even know were possible and times of feeling lost and doubtful and
beating myself up for quitting. I know in my heart that leaving my
job of 15 years and working on recreating myself was the absolute
right thing for me to do. There have been so many magical things
that have worked out since Ive taken this leap, yet my internal
critic can still be hard to silence and it creeps up on me, getting
me down, often saying You quit at something you loved. What makes
you think you can do anything else successfully? This steals my
energy to move forward. I am not going to let myself feel bad
anymore for quitting. I am a really hard worker, so quitting is one
of the most uncomfortable things Ive ever done. Thank you for
allowing me to see it in a better way. It was a necessary step I
needed to take. I was great at my old job, but Im becoming even
better for myself and others with what I am becoming. Thank you
again for your video today and all you do. Youve put some wind back
in my sails today!
Much gratitude & love,
Mary

Great episode and LOVE the new site! Marie it resonated with me

didnt resonate with me at all. I have had many careers and found my
passion in my 40s and guess what? Im teaching! I teach (coach)
people about health, wellness and achieving abundance in their

The timing of this is great because I am 3/4 of the way through his
The Happiness of Pursuit audiobook, so it was fun to hear his
voice as opposed to his words through the voice of an actor.
I loved this because I am one of those individuals who reinvented
herself several times over, beginning with working for a television
/ theatre director, to being a corporate administrative assistant,
personal trainer, office manager of an architectural firm, MELT
instructor, massage therapist and MELT Master Trainer.
I truly believed my calling was to be a famous actress. When I was
young, I wanted to be known as one of the very most talented. I
wanted and Emmy, Tony, Oscar AND a Grammy!
Now I look back on that girl and thank the LORD that none of that
came to be.
However
I would say the time I spent in my 20s working in Hollywood and
Broadway paved the way for the creative work I long to do now.
Sitting (and rotting) at a desk taught me discipline and practical
skills. Being a bodyworker and MELT instructor has opened my soul
and belief that anyone can be what they want to be if they set their
mind to it.
Now I am in B-School, learning and creating. It is invigorating and
infuriating as I have idea babies growing inside of me and I want to
birth them all now, in my typical impatient way.
But there is no rush this is a continual process and the journey IS
the destination.
Thank you, Chris, for your book, experience, observations and teachings.
Thank you, Marie, for being the exact mentor I need right now at
this moment.

The thing that resonated the most with me from this episode was that
giving up is OK. I have changed many jobs and have been offered
several opportunities to move up and make more money in life,
which I am grateful for. But the dangerous thing is the mentality
that I have to stick with it, no matter if I feel its for me or
not. I have the habit of getting into a depressing rut in my jobs
that, when I finally leave them, I wonder what took me so long. Its
a strange sense of responsibility to something that does not afford
me the joy in this equation. Much food for thought. Thanks so much

Loved this episode! I cannot tell you how much I need help in this
area of my life! The biggest thing Im taking away from this today
is really following what I find joy in I recently was contacted by
a recruiter for a job I wasnt excited about but would pay me more
money, and now I see that I need to let this one pass me by. If
there is no joy in it for me, its not right for me, and I need to
listen to that inner part of me more often in order to find what is.
There is no point in replacing one soul-sucking job for another.

I love all of your interviews and videos Marie, thank you for this

the video I kept saying to myself yes yes! always remind myself to
think like an entrepeneur! and keep going! I had a career before my
daughter was born, it was greatI liked it a lot, but I knew it
wasnt my path forever. I took a big risk when I was still single
and moved to Mexico, and really discovered while living there what I
was meant to do. I met my husband, our daughter was born, and I lost
my job. That was 5 years ago. Since then, my husband and I have
worked so hard on our vision, but just cant seem to make it happen.
We are so passionate about it, but are side tracked by having to
work jobs we dont love in order to just skim by and pay the bills.
So my question is.what would your advice be, in this same talk, to
people who know the paths they want to follow but are stuck in the
financial rut?

Thank you guys. I am glad you took the twenty minutes that its ok
to different because it didnt used to be. God gave me an insatiable
curiosity and too many talents with limited discipline. I now know
there are others like me and one thing is Ive been blessed at
helping others ( a lot and little as needed).
When I was young I wanted to be in movies and dance on stage and
started with tap dancing and ballroom dancing at 8 but money dried
up. I did get help on the side too! My mother was a concierge of
sorts at Hotel Syracuse. From 5 yo I met Johnathan Winters, Phil
Silvers, Bob Hope a number of times! Ann Margaret with him from a
show ? SU ? Last time I spoke with him was maybe 1966. Sherri and
Lamb Chop, and too may to remember. Did that start my desire? I play
gospel, classic and all sorts of other music and if I like it I
dance, hum if I dont know the words. Now at 60+, if I had a chance
to go and act with fair singing and dancing Id run and not walk!
Summer plays or whatever!
My point for all this I was told cant or to be quiet or as you say
focus! We all can for awhile and some of us have to jump into a
different pool and then come back yes? I stopped my brothers
creativity at about 6 yo. I never forgave myself for that and a few
others.
I now listen, coach, nudge ALWAYS ENCOURAGE! My grandson Evan
likes to sing and dance. I even made arrangements for his to take
dancing hes in all the school plays. As time goes by he gets
messages of focus. I dont believe its good. Yes school work is
good but so are so many more things.
Well, Im like Jeff Goins ( The Art of Work ) or hes like me in
regards to over explain. Maybe he and I should go get some therapy
together and share the expense! =)

Now hes too busy and has a job like he was getting away from, but
like you Marie Chris I think he wouldnt do anything else now!
Sending blessings to you both and always prayers! Rick!

business direction ideas its tricky knowing what is going to work
best. I dont want to limit options that might turn out to be just

As always, I am grateful for your empowering videos and emails and
life-cation (life education). As many of the folks have already
commented I am so in need of this video. I am 44, always was and
am creative and very capable and well, you described me and my
interests when you described yourself Marie.
When I was 6 or 7, in school we were asked why we wanted to do when
we grow up. I said be the president of the US. That day my parents
were called into school because the principle thought I needed to be
in Special Ed because of my delirious ambitions. I was gutted and
have since then had a burning need to prove them wrong. I wasted
time doing things that really didnt serve my potential or interest.
Nor did I ever really go for what I wanted because I couldnt pick
and that deer-in-headlights effect remained so strong that I never
finished 3 universities because I couldnt pick an acceptable
major/career. (Chris I took and failed accounting and most
business classes so many times because I couldnt stay awake in the
class it was so not me but I kept forcing it.)
I feel ready to start thriving and hope that the book and more
interviews from MarieTV help me find creative career possibilities.
I find that stress is no longer my driver and I cannot do the simple
24 hour per day workload anymore :) Not to mention, I became a mama
in my 40s so my capacity for stress and overtime are not what they
used to be.
Do you have any tips to help me find what skills I really possess? I
really love and now use your tips on feeling if I love something
my body caves in or opens up and expands when I talk about it.
Finally, I just want to say that when I am feeling frumpy and tired
and blue, I instantly get a boost when I look at your great hairdos!
ahahahahaha I know its superficial (my apologies) though it reminds

me that it sometimes takes a team to produce some results. Thank you
for being a strong woman and an inspiration to me and many others.
Much love!!!!!!!

Ken Robinson wrote a book, The Element, in which he gives the idea
that ones gift/talent is that thing you would/could do for hours
without looking at the clock and without thinking of a meal until
you are very hungry, because it is so joyful and connecting to your
spirit/inner self. A most difficult challenge for me to overcome has
been our cultural belief that one must slow down dreaming or stop
altogether because it is impractical when thinking of the time it
might take. I find I must convince myself of the truth that I am as
capable and able to build a dream as anyone twenty to thirty years
younger than me. It is skills, determination, talent, connections to
tools and like minded people that make it all work, not age.

Insider dispatch feedback I took part in. Im in a new chapter of my

pursue, I had a hard time figuring out where to put my energy and

that dont bring me joy when I think of them! That is my decision
GPS right there. Also, the great reminder to take my time and figure
it out this is time Ive afforded myself and I can forget it when
I put the pressure on myself to figure it out asap. I feel refreshed

This is really interesting. The reality is that the companies always
look for candidates who have years of experience in a focused. If

you ask recruiters, at least 9 out of 10 will tell you they prefer
someone who focuses on one thing to someone who has a broad range of
professions. it is understandable but how can a person really try
