Marie, from one Jersey girl to another, thank you 💜🙂

What a creative relief. I always felt I HAD TO PUT 70 hours a week to be successful. Family and other outside obligations always made me feel like an unsuccessful failure . After listening to this the guilt is less and I am enjoying more and being MORE productive.
Agreed! I love Gary Vee but his work ethic and steadfast belief that you need to work every hour you're given and work work MORE WORK! Never sat right with me and made me feel like I would never have success if I didn't kill myself with work! This feels so much more exciting and doable.
Sister, you are not boring! I never watch CZcams interviews but watch yours because of your energy and personality.
Thanks for your kind words towards Marie and our work. It's AMAZING people like you, Tara, that make up our beautiful community. Thanks for being here with us. - Jayleen, Team Forleo
Every convo between Marie & Steven Pressfield is pure gold. So many practical tips I can implement right away 🙌🏻🖤
We're so glad you enjoyed this episode, David. Thanks for watching and your continued support of our work. - Jayleen, Team Forleo
So many applications of ‘put your ass where you heart wants to be’! Steven Pressfield is a generous, inspirational, light for any type of creator-contributor :) Thank you Steven!
This amazing interview could not have come at a better time. I’ve been in a low place, considering giving up my dream and this just reinforced why I should never give up. Thank you Marie and Steven!!!
Amanda, we're so happy to hear this episode gave you a boost of motivation to keep going for your dream. We're cheering you on. You've got this! 🙌🏼 🎉 - Jayleen, Team Forleo
Great interview. What if there is no feeling about a meaningful career ?Unfortunately, at this juncture,I take jobs to pay the bills and have shelter. I am trying to figure it out. I am stuck in the mindset “ but I have to pay rent ( which is very high) therefore I like that you addressed the practicality of life. In my situation all the anxious feelings about paying bills, I am not certain what is my interest/ the focus in my 1 hour day
I am not certain if writingis my creative push although it is appealing.
I only know I love being surrounded with creative people.💜❤️
@@maryannwalsh5988 Great question, Maryann! We hear you. We know many people in our community have day jobs to pay for things needed to survive, support a family, and explore their passion project or build their dream business on the side. This is perfectly normal and a great way to start leaning into your dreams and discovering your passions. Here on Team Forleo, we use a prompt to get our creativity and dreaming muscles working. We ask ourselves: "Wouldn't it be cool if..." You can learn more about the process here in this Marie TV episode. --> www.marieforleo.com/blog/decide-next-step-in-life 💖We hope this helps! -Jayleen, Team Forleo
This is sooooo timely! I am currently in France (from my home in Atlanta) following my heart - searching for a chateau to restore. It has been a dream for a very long time and althoughI have no idea how the Universe is going to unfold it and it's totally scary - I am putting my ASS here. PERIOD.
What a beautiful dream. We love that you're taking action to make your dream come to life. We wish you luck on your search for a chateau to restore in France. - Jayleen, Team Forleo
❤ AMAZING CONVERSATION FILLED WITH GOLDEN NUGGETS AND PRINCIPLES TO INTERNALIZE ON OUR JOURNEY ...THANK YOU MARIE AND TO GOD SENT MESSAGE OF STEVEN PRESSFIELD !!!!
We're so honored to have you here, Rafael! Thank you so much for leaving such a kind comment! ⭐
The irony is that feeling bad makes it’s harder to write.
Building up my ego and my confidence makes it easier to write.
Just because the word “ego” is used negatively doesn’t make it a “selfish” thing. In fact that advice about the ego being a bad thing sounds more like the voice of dream killers and voices in my head that, ask who do I think I am.
Personally this is the kind of advice I’ve given myself permission to ridicule in my “The Lies They Tell Us About Writing”
Feeling good, optimistic, and like we have something special to offer is not only natural, it’s good. Being told it’s bad is what leads to that inner critic and sabotaging ourselves.
I know you mean well, but that part of the advice is bad.
Right now, it was hard to remember why I want to write as I’m hearing you talk about it as if it’s a constant ordeal.
Writing this reminds me though. I can’t shut up. And I love exercising my freedom to say that message of inspiration is really discouraging.
I really like Ms. Marie Forleo, but this was my least favorite video, so far.
That being said, this interview did inspire some thoughts and writing (outside of the comment). And I appreciate the clarity it brings. 🤗
I watched a pressman interview on Oprah for another book, and I don’t know if he was not as excited about that project, but the interview with Oprah really didn’t move me… This interview was outstanding! It’s very clear that he and Marie have a genuine respect for each other and I think that it brought the best out of him for this interview. A lot of great takeaways for me, well done!
Loved your conversation with Steven Pressfield! So inspiring and motivating! I’m going to buy a copy of his book.
We're so glad you enjoyed this episode and hope you enjoy Steven Pressfield's new book! Happy Reading - Jayleen, Team Forleo
Awesome episode, I’m going to drive this in my soul everyday.
Have to say - the ads are really insane - feels like 2 ads every 5 minutes !
Another amazing interview. Marie, I've learned more from you than I ever did in college! I have many projects I've procrastinated on... but now I know: just one hour a day!! This will be life changing for me. Thank you 💗
❤
must not of gone to a very good school. i learned it in a creative writing class.
Marie you are amazing!!! Your videos are always so insightful and revealing to me - I switched from watching Netflix to watching your CZcams channel and even your podcast while I cook or do my house chores. Thank you!
Marie, I can’t thank you enough for this share. I have been a fan of your work for almost a decade and this video right here has me in tears by the integrity of its content. No bells and whistles just straight to the heart honest truth. IMO, living from our heart is the most meaningful work we can do in life that has ripple effects throughout time. Much love and appreciation- Christina
Bringing your physical and spiritual self together and actually doing is alignment ❤ but the commitment has to be there 🎯🌟 it makes the consistency ...loved this
Awesome 👌...thank you for thisngreat interview Marie. Very inspirational 👏
Steven is too sweet ! Honestly !
Thank You Both so much for doing what you do. This is so helpful and you are both a blessing to us all.
I've read Everything Is Figureoutable 3 times & listened to the Audible version a few times as well. It's an excellent book with really good tactical advice. Marie should be proud of the book. :)
I am learning, .. that voice of resistance... when you are aware of it, that self-awareness of our subconscious thoughts is called meta-cognition... Love it.
Impressive, so much touching and guiding from both thank you for your wonderful messages for the world and universe
This is amazing, halfway through this video and I am so inspired and happy about your interview with Steven Pressfield. Love it.
Daily consistency with an accountability buddy is how I wrote my recently published biography of the late actor James Coburn. Small incremental steps with a minimum time every weekday. Suddenly I had a 300 page book that a publisher wanted.
We love this so much, Robyn. This is a perfect example of taking small daily steps towards your dream. Congratulations, we're so excited for you! - Jayleen, Team Forleo
What an awesome conversation! From the beginning to the end point... pure gold. Mindset and life changing. Thanks Marie, you're simply the best!!
This was a fabulous conversation. Enlightening. And empowering.
I have had a project in my heart for over a year now and progress is super slow. I love the concept of 10% of your day truly committed to your "practice"! Isn't that what we do when we are training for something? Practice makes perfect. A 1-2 hour practice... mic drop!!! Finding my place and time each day. Look out world as I serve you! Thank you so much for this Marie and Steven! Going to buy his book!
Yes, Susan! Small consistent changes always bring big results. We're rooting for you!🙌 -Grace, Team Forleo
I so relate and appreciate this. Being constantly distracted by others' needs and accomplishments has made me procrastinate for years on a lot of my own goals. These include writing my first book, starting a second web blog that's more in line with my newer interests, and yes--moving to where I'd rather be.
This video and many more like it are putting me in the mindset of fueling my motivation tank, starting the engine, and taking the most efficient roads to get me there.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
wow, the last segment with steve reading from his book 😍
We know, right! Simply Inspiring. Thanks for watching. - Jayleen, Team Forleo
beautiful and open conversation about the nature of creativity! thanks so much🗨🙌
We're so glad you enjoyed this episode. Steven Pressfield has such a beautiful perspective on creativity. We're happy you're here. - Jayleen, Team Forleo
You always look so beautiful and put together Marie ! Thanks for all this content it has changed my life!
Thanks Marie. Love Steven Pressfield. He and you are so inspiring. Perfect timing. Thank you. 🙏🏽
Thanks for watching, Kristin. We're so glad you enjoyed this episode. - Jayleen, Team Forleo
Marie Forleo.....You are the best of the best.....just started watching your videos & shows regularly.... learning a lot from you and getting clarity about lot of things....there is lot of noise out there it is very hard sometimes to decide what is right & what is wrong..... But I am learning to educate myself and then pasd on to others.....Thank You So Much
This is such a sweet message to receive. Thank you so much for being here, for watching with us, and for taking the time to spread joy and fill our cups. We're SO honored to have you in our community. Keep in touch 💖
One of the most beautiful episodes and I needed to hear all of this! My resistance is always wearing her crown everyday and then makes fun of me when I don’t do what she resisted me in doing…
You're the sweetest! Thank you so much for sharing with us. We're honored you're here. 💖
Great interview. Thank you both.
Thank you for this, Marie. Exactly what I needed today. 💚
Wow I needed to hear this. I feel like I’m constantly in a state of guilt because I’m not “working hard enough” for my artistic career. This inspires me to celebrate even 1-2 hrs creating a day 😅
Yes, Lola! Celebrate any time you put into creation :) It's really amazing what we can accomplish in only one or two hours a day. We know you can do it and we're cheering you on 👏💗 - Monauar, Team Forleo
This is brilliant and inspiring. And I'm all about that BIG MOVE! Just relocated from Vancouver, Canada to Valencia, Spain. Also wrote a guidebook that was self-published in 2016 (after moving from Toronto to Prague, and then to Uppsala) and re-released in print in 2020 called How To Make Big Moves: Relocate Without Losing Your Mind 🌍 Go where you need to be and don't look back! Ps. Too many ads during this video -- truly disruptive to the message.
I LOVE THIS CONVERSATION!! Thank you both!
Once again Marie u have invited such a warm hearted humble soul into your space IT delights my heart to be with inspirational like minded souls let’s share and shine our light 🫠💖🌟🌟🌟thank u both live and blessings 🙏🌸🌸🌸
Thank you, Marie! This was very helpful and encouraging!
Omg I loved this soooo much. I can’t wait to read the book. This was perfect timing, thank you!
Love this Gem filled interview...Thank you💗💗💗
Awesome conversation. Thank you for sharing, Steven & Marie ♥️
Brilliant conversation between two great artists - loved every minute of it - thank you!
Marieeee! I heard you talking about facing resistance to write your next book! I learned something that helped me with my own resistance that maybe can help! IF THE DESIRE AND THE IDEA WERE PLACED IN YOUR HEART IS BECAUSE YOU NEED TO DO IT FOR YOUR OWN HEALING AND EVOLUTION OOOORRRR SOMEONE ELSE NEEDS IT AND IT'S YOUR JOB TO DELIVER IT TO THEM ❤ don't question what your soul knows is necessary right now 😀 just go for it with ultimate surrender and trust! Your heart never left you behind or did something to damage you! Just write it and at the right time you will know why!!!!
Beautifully written, Carla. Thanks for sharing your insights with us. We're so glad you enjoyed this episode. - Jayleen, Team Forleo
Beautiful interview, awesome lessons , thanks Marie and Steven
I loved this one!! Thank you Marie, you and your guests are such a powerful source of inspiration.
I have a vision to speak about disabilities and the art of being human - lessons we learn when we embrace differences, see beyond limitations, and recognize opportunities, crafting a connected world. We are all Temporarily able-bodied
At some point in age, accident, illness, and mental health we all become disabled at some point in our lives. I am a woman born with a disability. A social worker by trade and an entrepreneur. My heart has been called to me yet the resistance is almost deafening.
I make it a point to listen to "The War of Art" audiobook every quarter. It's a swift kick in the ass to keep moving forward. Heck, at this point I can probably recite it verbatim!
WOW! Thanks so much for sharing this with us!
Thanks so much to you both! Excellent content, especially the "simple math" around timestamp 17:25-- very liberating to know that!
Great interview. Very well done. Thank you!
Love this so much, I have been a "writer" since 3rd grade, but not on a large scale, and he totally hits on everything I have and still experience! My favorite part was how he referred to the soul/heart/authentic self. That was what drew me to you Marie, all those years ago. I felt that in you. One of my "dreams" is to be in interviewed by you one day! I am still creating the biggest project of my life and when I get it filled out, I wish to share it with you!
Hi Heather! We're so honored you loved this episode! We can't wait to see what your hour a day brings to life for your project :) We're rooting for you! - Monauar, Team Forleo
Yes!!! Totally!!
The conversation was in line with all I’m manifesting right now.
Marie, you are the lifeboat to all I have been looking for in this copywriting journey. You have SO many CZcams videos that cover
E V E R Y T H I N G. For all your hard work and dedication I am so grateful to you. You come highly recommended by Alex Cattoni and that got my attention; a great vouch for a great person. 감사합니다! (Thank you!)
Awesome - loved this interview and totally in alignment with the work I teach! Thank you!
Love! this is so good, I needed to hear every word!
Great interview. Thank you Marie
I just subscribed and 3 seconds later this video popped up. I loved your book Marie and happy to continue learning from you🥰
Welcome, Victoria. We're so glad you're in our community. Thanks for watching. - Jayleen, Team Forleo
Thank you! This just solved a big creative block for me thinking I need to work full time hours to even make any progress.💚
Fantastic conversation for creatives!
"The power of creative compounding!" I love this conversation so much. I really needed to hear this and recommit to sitting my ass down consistently and not use the excuse that I don't have the time. I've been kinda sitting kinda standing, hovering in fact for a few years. But my ass has been firmly on the seat for one month now and I'm going to keep showing up and putting the work in. Thank you!
We love to hear this, Alison. We believe in you and cheer you on as you move closer to your goal. 🙌🏼 🎉 - Jayleen, Team Forleo
@@TeamForleo 💜💜 Thank you!
The Soul is not the deepest level but the spirit is. Other than that good information.
Waoh. This is encouraging.
goosebumps!
This was a beautiful conversation. Thank you both! :)
Thank you for watching, Marya! ❤️ - Grace, Team Forleo
Thank you.
Brilliant
I so needed this kick in the ‘a$$’.
Hola! Love you Marie...but please, let the guest talk! With love. 🌟❤
Always great to listen to Marie and Steven have a conversation. The part where Marie mentioned moving, down-sizing, taking risks reminded me of an interview with Taylor Sheridan from a few years ago that I listened to recently. Listen from about 4:20 to 6:50 and you'll hear him talk about quitting his TV job and moving into a small apartment with his expecting wife to try to write movie scripts. I love hearing about people who have taken a big risk and have these amazing second acts. Another second act I love hearing about is mystery writer Louise Penny. Here is a link to the Taylor Sheridan interview -- czcams.com/video/TTAkcDzrObA/video.html
Keep it afloat that's it's not seasonal, it is simply One God. Real good material
He's like a mix of spirituality and Carl jung
Oh gosh.... I must've needed this because for some reason, I was teary for most of this conversation. What bothers me is; it takes 20 years!?? I'm nearly 60!! I don't have 20 years! Should I pack it in??
Hi Jillana! You don't have to pack it in! 60 is still young! You can have an abundant life to live :) The most important thing is to just show up to your practice and experience the journey with the most joy you can. - Monauar, Team Forleo
great
Hey, I'm doing and surely I'll be succeed soon or later one day by the grace of God
🙌🏽❤️
How can I contact Stephen Pressfield?
Great question, Sarah. You can contact Steven Pressfield on his website here --> stevenpressfield.com/contact-us/. We hope this helps. - Jayleen, Team Forleo
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great conversation - but the amount of ads cropping up is ludicrous.
13:50 well, at least people told me that god was watching me, but no one thought that it was a message to really be comitted to something...
The ego was created from trauma to protect us
It’s not ‘crazy,’ but if you don’t know who, in the universe, you are connecting with, you may find the entity helping you is not one that loves you and will eventually expect you to pay the check, so to speak, and by the decisions you make along the way you may be paying every step of the way or just right on your death bed. If you want spiritual help, go directly to the one who loves you more than life itself. Jesus! Just sayin’. Want you to be safe 💚
1. Numbers are arbitrary. 2. Numbers will never make you truly happy.
That's too long. I only have 55mins
Bottom line, you must be it, then you'll see it.
Love this interview… just Gold… pray we can all start Living From the Heart and be the best we can be… self-responsibility @glassesrosetinted
Very inspiring! Exactly what I needed to listen today. Thank you!
