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

Now, Chris and I would love to hear from you.

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

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.

Monica,
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!

This is true. I am a Licensed Acupuncturist trying to build

pursue passion full time yet. I just need a money tree.

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 :)

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 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?

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!

Jan Reynolds <http://www.janreynolds.com/>
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.

Validation that I am living a full life doing what I love. For me I
have always followed my inner gps! It started with one thing I enjoy
doing and over the years branched out to many things I enjoy doing.
So today I have choices and many doors open to produce an income
that keeps growing. 26 years later I am coaching some of the worlds
wealthiest and famous people on how to find balance and fulfillment
in their lives! And its a blast for me because it comes so natural.
Big hug Marie! Your awesome.

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.
Ahhsweet freedom!
Congratulations on the gorgeous new site, too. Its a keeper. :)

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

that i poured so much time and money into and worked so relentlessly
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
the door as i was expecting. I think giving myself permission to
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!

Well last year I finally figured it out. I have been watching your

skills. Im now ready to officially launch online courses and my own
sewing, knitting and crochet patterns to the world. Thank you for

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:
Joy, Money, Flow. Is it working? Am I happy?
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.

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!

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.

Loved watching this episode today. I think I need to pick up Chriss
book because I have been working in my own business for almost 2
years. I finally went full time into it this past January and man is
it tough. I enjoy what Im doing and every day brings something new,
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
next career and thats a psychologist. I have always been very
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
what Ive created. Hopefully Chriss book will tell me what to
my

do.

Jackie Powell <http://jackiepowellphotography.com/>
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).

Thank you for this episode, which was so good for me to watch today.
Im in the process of closing down my first venture, and it is
helpful to know that my answers to both of Chris questions ((1) is
it working? and (2) am I happy?) are no. Im a high achieving
lawyer by training, and the biggest learning curve for me as an
entrepreneur is knowing when to fail fast and move on. I agree that
the never give up belief in our society doesnt always work in our
favor.

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?

Chelsea - Team Forleo
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

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!

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!

Ive struggled with this all my life.
I learned (for some of us) what you are met to do, is part of an
evolving process that embrace personal characteristics,
and life experiences. The synergy of all of this, will mold you into
your uniqueness (as Marie says) to do or offer something we only
can. To know or get to that point is the greatest joy and reward.

Absolutely inspiring, Marie. Wandering through life to find your
calling as been the hardest thing mankind is faced with, but with
people like you and Chris coming in to make the path easier, we
dont have to perish searching for what we were born to do.
Great as always, Marie.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED the freedom that I felt when Chris shared that
you should have a lot of experiences in order to determine what to
eliminate! And then Marie followed up by saying you do not have to
focus too fast! OMG! I can breathe again. So freeingthank you thank
you thank you!

I loved this video! My husband and I recently closed down our
catering business that provided us a comfy income, lots of free time
and the ability to work from home while our kiddos were little but
we hit a wall at about the 10 year mark where we started dreading
each event. Just couldnt do it anymore it was still working but
the joy was gone. Now we are both feeling out new industries and I
think this advice wrings true for where weve been and also where
were going! Thanks for the inspiring video.

Thank you so much for this great video and message! My biggest
takeaway was Winners give up all the time. I recently quit a very
secure and high paying job that was extremely toxic and I was
completely miserable in. I love following my passion but Ive
struggled with feeling like a quitter. I greatly appreciate the
encouragement and inspiration you shared Chris and 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.

Is this working? and Am I happy? are the two questions I needed
to hear today. Looking back on my life I realize these two answers
were at the heart of all of my career changes. It all makes sense
now; I always changed careers when one of the answers was no.
Thank you Chris and Marie for the clarity on this subject! Now I
have a clearer picture of when to switch gears and try something new
until I discover my lifes purpose.

this mindset: joy & flow, courage & choice are key words I pick. I

This video was very helpful for me. I receive a lot of questions now
as freshly unemployed, what my next job is going to be. And I dont
know how to answer them. I many times feel pushed to some sort of
category, but there are just many options. I do write articles for
my blog, I translate, I want to start teaching again. I want to work
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
jobs. Sometime there was a lot of joy and fullfillment, but bad
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.

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!

Thank you for the video!
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.
Thank You <3

What a great video! I am and have been stuck in the I cant give
up game. I have always believed that no matter what I CANT quit, I
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.

Loved this and was EXACTLY what I needed- cant wait to learn more!
Ive been a creature of creativity since I was born, love so many
things (and pick them up quickly) but have never made money at them.
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
it and I cant pick just one or even a few. Im antsy pantsy as
Im sure once Im focused and feel confident in it, Ill freakin
totally ace it and there will be no stopping me.
Am so looking forward to the read and thank you Marie and the team
for bringing this to the light :) XO

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!

This was such an insightful interview filled with information that I
knew, but have failed to act upon. The aha moment for me was when
Chris said eliminate the ideas that dont bring you joy when you
think of them. Its so simple yet I have never done it. I have often
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
today. Thanks Marie and Chris.

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.

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
want to do/ be/ are since I was 6 years old: act! The challenge with
that calling is that as actors we are so dependent on others giving
us a job! So I went into certifications to become a Yoga Instructor,
a coach and an OM Trainer. But really all I want to do is act! What
to do when so much of your career is dependent on others wanting
you? I am doing all the internal work, believe me. BUT.

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!
Bob

I loved eliminate ideas that dont bring you joy when you think of
them! I think those non-joy ideas fall into the should column of
our lives, and frankly, Ive lived too many years in that place. I
want joy!

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

I liked this video, but there are certain aspects of being an
entrepreneur which I dont love and dont experience the flow. I
dont think this means I should stop doing these things. Maybe what
that requires is wrapping a different mindset around those
activities and becoming aware of any negative attributions
Thanks Marie.

Chris inspired me in a sort-of surprise way. Hah! First, I know I
limit myself by the thinking, *Get over it. Its too late for you,
deary, as age has done its un-magic that it does to us all.*
However, I have also been thinking that Im doing this fascinating
*job* even though Im not being payed for it.I am cut out to be a
critic and editor and sales person for GOOD books. Who woulda thunk,
right? The multi-faceted part may be combining my insights in trauma
therapies and writing for myself. Hmm.

time figuring things out. Im a young woman getting started in my
career and I still feel somewhat aimless Its good to hear to take
my time in trying different things. Ive always been passionate and
an entrepreneur-minded person, just havent known where to focus
that energy. I look forward to the day when Im doing what I was
born for whatever that may be! God help me figure it out.

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!
Look forward to continuing the journey with you & all the valuable
content you share with us.

Great advice. I wonder what Chris would say to a Neophile (craver of
novelty) about getting bored even with the things I enjoy(ed)? The
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. :)

Hello! This video really spoke to me. Ive always wanted to be a
lawyer since I was a kid and recently graduated from law school and
passes the Bar. However, Ive been having a hard time finding a job
in the area I targeted most of my experience to, thinking that if I
got tons of experience in a particular area of law it would be easy.
This video made me realize that I can explore other practice options
because if its not working and if Im not happy its time to move on.

Im currently enrolled in MFs B-School. This topic and question has
been a real struggle for me. I know what my strengths are (thanks
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 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!

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.
Thank you!

things that however DO NOT bring me joy. His example about

am good at them so can find the thing that I EXCELL at and the feeds
my heart and soul! Anyone else have that resonate with them? Whos

we go through so many changes and challenges. My business is
currently going in a new direction but Im unsure what to do with
the clients that dont make me happy and have me questioning is this
working. I would only be keeping them on for financial security.
What I took from the video is its okay to move on. To ask yourself,
1. is it working? 2. am I happy?

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.

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!
Thank you, thank you for sharing this very important episode of

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?

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.

insight: we need to take the time we need to figure out what is it
that we want to do. Forcing to focus too early may not be a good
idea. I think it is a question of giving ourselves permission to try
and also trusting ourselves. Thank you!

Your episodes are always super timely, so thank you Marie and
Chris!! Asking the 2 questions, then tweaking or quitting is a super
duper helpful tip. Im also LOVING the joy-money-flow concept and
now I definitely will be expanding my options. I too have always
felt a bit scattered with all my interests and passions, but now I
am excited to throw my gifts out there and see which ones bring that
joy-money-flow to life! LaChaim!

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.

I really loved the part about how to narrow your focus, when
starting out with a number of interests/passions/talents. Ive been
soul searching around that topic for a while now. Thank you for
giving me answers :)

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.

Wow, this was a great episode and very timely for me. Recently I
have been feeling like my career of 20 years (which has been AMAZING
and taken me all around the world), is not for me anymore. Theres a
part of me that says Im crazy to make a change now, but the other
part of me has accepted that it is ok to explore other ideas, to
find what feels good. And it feels so good to admit I am ready for a
shift, and to give myself permission to try other things. Thank you
so much for validating that! Its scary, but I going to to follow my
fear. You guys are the best!!!

Fantastic interview. I have always subscribed to the philosophy that
with grit and hard work you can push through anything. As I continue
to grow and expand personally and professionally I have realized
that grit and hard work can only get you so far you need joy and
flow to move to the next level.

Really love the notes about broadening focus and then narrowing, and

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

Thanks for the video. I was so excited when I saw you were
interviewing Chris Guillebeau. I love The $100 Startup, it sent me
on this journey of entrepreneurship. I most enjoyed the comments
about following a few things in the beginning and limiting them
later on. I have struggled to try and narrow down my niche that I
was getting discouraged . Thanks for the encouragement that its
okay and that its all apart of the journey. Ive retied my shoes
and am back on the road.

Great episode and LOVE the new site! Marie it resonated with me
when you said what you wanted to do as a child. I always wanted to
teach, but as I grew up, being a teacher (as in a school teacher)
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
lives. I get goosebumps when someone tells me I have helped them and
it brings me absolute joy.

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.
p.s. my website is in the process of moving from its currently home
to a Square Space site. I need new photos and WAY better content. No
judging if you choose to click on the link!

Marie, site problem! Went to the main page showing you and Chris G.
Underneath, I clicked on the link that says Watch Now. Nothing
happened, no video popped up, nada, nyet, nein, zip point doo doo.
I use the Firefox browser, if that matters. Ive heard Firefox
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.
Its time to get off this merry-go-round.

In the second half of my life I too feel anxious about figuring it
out. But I have become very good lately at trying out things I think
Id like to do and letting them go when they dont feel right. And I
will take your advice to push something into the hobby category if
Im not quite sure yet. And pick up the book! Thanks

This couldnt be more fitting today! Im 29 and still feeling so
lost about my career, and am at a huge crossroads not knowing which
path to take. However Ive had the courage to try different things
previously which has lead me to this point today, which in turn have
added to my life story. As I read today Keep angling until you find
your angle! Its frustrating but how else can you grow, trust the
path youre on.
Thanks so much for the video!

I love all of your interviews and videos Marie, thank you for this
one. I did read Chris first book and loved it. But today throughout
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?

This is amazing. And I love the new interpretation of the Wayne
Gretsky quote!
I am a college instructor. I very much get into the flow of my work.
It is, for sure, what I was born to do. I see students often who
seem lost in life heck, I see all sorts of people my age
(40-something) who struggle with this, too.
Shared on facebook and will share with former and current students!
All sorts of great advice and Im *always* telling people to try a
lot of different things! (Took me a while to settle, too.) Thanks,
yall!

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
