Making Decisions From Your Heart with Marie Forleo

In this conversation, you’ll get to know Marie Forleo. I discovered her when I joined her amazing online business program (that helps you fall in love with marketing!) called B-School.

In this episode we talk about why making decisions with your heart matters, even if it doesn’t always make sense on paper. We look at how to quiet that vicious voice in your head so you can do your work in the world, and also the importance of choosing joy, even when the work is not always sexy behind-the-scenes.

The cool thing about Marie is that she is so down to earth, even though she’s been named by Oprah as a thought leader for the next generation, as well as being named one of Inc’s 500 fastest growing companies. Marie’s mission is to help you build a life you love and to use your gifts to change the world. She’s the creator of the award-winning online show, Marie TV, with over 35 million views on YouTube from an audience in 195 countries! As well as being the founder of B-School, through her Change Your Life, Change The World initiative, every product purchased helps support a person in need.

 “To me it just comes down to listening to my heart and understanding that my heart has wisdom that is simply not accessible through the logic, rational parts of my mind, my brain and my experience.”

– MARIE FORLEO
