Marie Forleo - Everything is Figureoutable


Listen Later

When we make decisions in life, oftentimes they are decided by our inner thoughts. But not everyone has inner thoughts despite how common it is. Experts say some 30 to 50 percent of people have an inner monologue with themselves. In having this inner monologue, it helps some people figure out a lot of things and decisions they make in life because thoughts are very powerful. But figuring out things can be a challenge.

Is everything figureoutable?

According to entrepreneur and author Marie Forleo, the answer is yes. Forleao discussed the concept of what figureoutable is on the newest episode of “Change Starts Here,” with host Dustin Odham. The two talked about their experiences with challenging thoughts of the mind, and her book, “Everything is Figureoutable.”

Odham and Forleo further discussed her book and …

  • Making personal time for yourself to unwind from inner thoughts and meditate
  • The excuses people make when they can’t or won’t do a certain tasks
  • How Forleo overcame the thought process of being unable to figuring things out

Forleo discussed witnessing her mother doing a task that she never knew she had the skills to do, and said her mother left her with wise words, “everything is figureoutable.”

“From that moment on that tiny little phrase like washed over my body and I'm not kidding you, it has been the driving force of every major obstacle, or minor obstacle, in my life still to this day,” said Forleo. “It is something that, like helped me, get through toxic abusive relationships when I was in my younger days, it helped me you know get every job I’ve ever had, it’s helped me at every stage of my business, it’s helped me save relationships, it's helped me get out ... Like everything you can possibly imagine, this phrase has helped me do and anyone I've had the opportunity to teach this phrase to has been like, “It saved me — it gets me back in the zone.”

Marie Forleo is an entrepreneur, writer, best-selling author, and philanthropist. She is also the CEO of her namesake company, Marie Forleo International.
