I like to use this phrase every time I see a big opportunity and my fears walking hand in hand: "Never let your fears, laziness or insecurity steal your glory, it's better go there to win or to lose than spend your whole life wondering "what if..."".

Marie! That dress, girl! I think it's my favorite so far! I wish you would add to your video descriptions where you get your wardrobe :). Hint, hint.

Hitting the nail on the head. Love your show and all you got going on Marie. I used to be the one who just went for it more then I do now and that habit has gained me some unique adventures and an unconventional education. I used to call it being in reaction mode and now I'm working on focusing it as being a gift of faith in the unknown with practical caution. I started working from home by praying for the divinely right opportunity to do so when my old boss came a knocking... I worked for her back in the day when I made more the my husband and we had less kids. She had a great offer and I know we wouldn't be where we are financially if I had taken it. But on my way to take the job 4 years ago, someone called me from my business ad on the back of my car. We pulled over and I made $150 in 15minutes. I walked into her office and realized I was unemployable from here on out. Taking that safe job would have compromised my prayer and the reasons why I wanted to work from home in the first place. Looking back. I don't regret lunch dates with my baby girl every Thursday at her school, or being able to volunteer at my other two kids classes. I will never regret being able to spend 5 days in the hospital supporting my mom or taking 10 months to rehabilitate my nieces and nephew through a rough patch. I know I would have been fired from any J.O.B for any of those treasured moments and low and behold... I'm still alive, my kids and I are close, my business is growing and I have actually inspired others not to compromise motherhood and being who you are. It's a journey on lined payment or a journey on a magic carpet ride as far as I'm concerned. One moment that changed everything for me was when my dad passed away at 47 from suicide... it was a tough recovery for our family but my perspective changed. Life is far too short to life half assed. I barely graduated high school but the self education of being an entreprenuer has been more valuable then a degree. Marie, I consider you one of my professors. Mahalo for all you give to the world.

I already commented on this video before, but I just want to say that it is literally one of the best ones out there. Watching this and considering the "what ifs" is one of primary reasons that I decided to go ahead with starting my mermaiding business. The "what if I don'ts" made me so upset to think about that I had to make the jump to launch my business. I have my own website now, my KZread is growing quite quickly, and I have my first gig coming up towards the end of November. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video, Marie and team! I seriously apply this thinking to almost every situation now, and it has changed the way I live my life. Much love from the lake! -Mermaid Phantom

I just moved 1500 miles away from home right after graduating from college, away from everyone and everything I know. I've stopped not applying to jobs that I felt would reject me, if it sounds like a good opportunity and my skills match their needs I apply! The entire interview process freaks me out because I don't want to be rejected and told that I'm not good enough, but I'd rather that then miss a great opportunity

I couldn't agree more with the tweetable on this one! One of the top regrets for people at the end of their life is what they didn't do, not what they did do. I took a big risk that has landed me where I am today. I was an unemployed lawyer and was offered a job with my dream company in a completely different industry. Even though I had no money in my bank account, had to move far from home and knew I would be struggling in a city on a lower salary, I knew I had to just go for it. I ended up getting an incredible other opportunity through that job that has helped me to thrive in my current industry and has helped me to climb to financial security. I say GO FOR IT!!

No matter what I can handle it! Living in that way would definitely cause less regret for sure.

Powerful, inspiring and encouraging, love these videos, they keep me going when the tough times come... so positive x

*You never fail to deliver. This exactly what I needed. Thank you Marie.*

Love this! I always used to fear failure and because of it, I wasn't taking the risks I needed to take. Now I welcome failure because I know it will only lead me faster to success! Thanks for being awesome Marie!

I had to encourage my self to start my small businesses because I thought if I don't do something that will help me in a long run I will regret it. And I am happier now then when I was just thinking about it.

take the leap of faith

Thank you for this video! I’ve been struggling with just simple tasks like getting up and getting dressed

Marie you've allowed me to reach beyond the anxieties I have about starting something great to grasping that small light in me that keeps on shining. Thank you for drawing the comparison between what the worst case scenario could be, against what would happen if I choose to be stagnant. You just saved me from a whole hour of self-pity and procrastination girl!

Marie, i looooove your hair! ! ! ! It might even need its own tube channel.

Hi Marie! I received this video on my email, but at that time I just agreed with you. Today I watched it again and it served me so well! It felt like I was watching another video, with a totally different topic! Thanks for the light!! It gave me courage to take the challenge that stepped into my way!

Marie, thank you, thank you, thank you for this video!!! your thoughts on the topic have opened my eyes on my fears and my life in general. I really wanna say "YES" to all my opportunities and even if there is no opportunity right now, I wanna create it myself. THANK YOU!

I love the way you express yourself, marieforleo. So much energy. Keep going!

This doesn't come from my own business, but it made sense in the job that I have now. A fellow worker talked me into moving into this position, and I was honestly scared to death. But, I sucked it up and went for it. Best decision I ever made.

your dress and your hair!!! omg soooo beautiful!!

How have I just seen this episode?! This is exactly the advice I've been needing. I've been driving myself crazy with where to live so I can settle down and grow some roots: stay in my beautiful and gorgeous hometown of santa cruz, ca, which is actually becoming toxic to me and no longer serving me OR move abroad someplace and use my TEFL/TESOL certification (even though I hate teaching english), but I would have independence and the time to work on my true passion of Holistic Health Coaching for Diabetics? I think I finally figured out my answer because of this video. Love you Marie!

Marie you are a great and wise person. You have something in your videos that everytime i watch them make me reflect about my life and be a better person.

Love this! I think I may replay it at the start of each morning until my goals have been met!

Holy shit your right 3:40 my life is nothing but a regret I might fail but its better then all the regret and self loathing that comes with not even trying. I rolled my eyes when the intro started but im glad I stayed.

Wonderful Marie! I think I couldn't understand better in italian (my language). You speak so clear, slow, simple words. Love you and I only say to you GRAZIEEEE MARIE. Really thanks from bottom of my heart for your valuable advice.

I so needed this. Thank you Marie!

Thanks a lot for thi video, I'm going trough a big mind block this days, I left my job cause i wanted the chance to be an enterpreneour but my motivation went away the second week and now I'm procastinating everyday, I just want to stop doing that to myelf, watching your videos helps me a lot, sorry for my bad english.

I love you Marie! I think Tuesdays are my favorite days! I search your emails and read all of them before any other! BTW great video! I've been thinking about this next step I want to take and this video Most deff help. Love you Marie!

2:51 "what's the worse thing that could happen if you said no" very helpful if thinking about bad decisions

Omg i love it, I liked the flip side of asking yourself what’s the worse if you don’t go for it

This is a fear I had to face head on when I decided to begin a huge project that ended up being the first ever online e-learning course for the raw food lifestyle. I remember thinking "what if it hasn't been done yet because there's no demand for it". My biggest fear was that no one would find value in the work I was doing but I overcame it and now my students are loving the course. It's an important lesson to learn!

I LOVE Colleen!! Just listening to her speak gives me goosebumps! This was a fantastic interview and I cannot wait to read her book!!! Marie, you are the best! I just find it so great that I have one of Colleen's yoga DVDs and one your fitness DVDs! The best!!!

Thank you love watching you and you are helping me a lot to take change of my life and take risks at 50 years old I have dreams and goals I what to do and I love having money and freedom to be me and enjoy the finer things of life.

Yes I so needed this right now!

Love, love, love this episode! I asked myself what is the worst thing that could happen and realized I'd still have a very profitable job even though I'm ready for a change. Full speed ahead!

Thanks for the video Marie! I am going through a stressful situation right now and I think the advice here will help! I'm an English major and one of my classes is requiring us to be a tutor in the Writing Center 2 days a week. I have never tutored anyone and am freaking out and second-guessing everything I know, even though my teacher and peers have assured me that I'm ready to jump in. My first session is three days away and I know I will be nervous, but I think this will open a lot of doors for me professionally and personally so I'm not backing out now.

Thanks Marie. I love this concept, and also the term 'tease it out.' I love the way you make these huge issues bite sized, totally digestable & doable. Plus all yuor advice is heart felt. I can feel it. Thanks.

Fantastic! Thank you Marie! Love your spirit!

OMG...Marie. This video was so on point. I've just taken a huge leap of faith with my business that it scares the crap out of me. But I'm willing to take the risk in hopes that everything pays off.

I'm finding it very hard to concentrate on what you're saying because I keep staring at the awesomeness that's your dress! Though, after closing my eyes and listening, I asked myself those two questions and I must say I got some clarity. Thanks!

Such a great reminder ! Thank you for your advice Marie !

Thank You so much. Just needed this boost for today

It's like you are my mentor! Really not feeling strong for my ideas and dreams, hopefully this exercise will show me I am xx

If I said yes to that which I am considering, and it failed horribly, I would be out $3,000.00... and would feel like a terrible fool. :p However, while the time cannot be made up, I could earn the money back eventually. If I say no to what I am considering, I will most certainly be sealing myself away to the life of a barista/retail manager/wedding reception hall tour guide/ everything else that I would rather not be for all of eternity. I would also run the risk of watching someone else jump on the opportunity that I was too scared to take.... which would be so painful! Thank you for this video, it has given me a lot to think about! You're awesome!!!

I know this was helpful to me, Marie, and I know that many of us new business folks need to ask this question. Thanks!!

Thank you for being a great inspiration!

Marie, I would love to have you as my mentor! I work hard to achieve my dreams but I know having someone as great as you to motivate me will lead me to great opportunities. I admire you and your hustle! ❤️

Wow!!! I needed this!! Thank you :)

I loved this! Thanks, Marie! :)

Great advice, love the two part question.

Really need the encouragement thank you!

I don't have courage I wish I did like the things I struggle are , raising my hand to answer a question and even if it is the wrong answer the teacher still accepts it, another I have trouble on is talking to people I don't know or I do know like the principle in my school, another is having courage to like dance in front of people or sing.

I need to do this like five times a day.

This is a Principle from Dale Carnegie's book: "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living"(1948). Here is:Principle #2-" The next time Trouble--with a Capital T-- backs you up in a corner, try the magic formula of Willis H. Carrier:a. Ask yourself, "What is the worst thing that can possibly happen if I can't solve my problem?b. Prepare yourself mentally to accept the worst--if necessary.Then calmly try to improve on the worst-- which you have already mentally agreed to accept."--Willis H. Carrier designed the first modern air conditioning system.
