ANECDOTE

Classic Mom Moment That Shaped A Life

Marie learned “Everything is figureoutable” from her mother fixing a Tropicana radio and household repairs without tutorials.
That lesson became her guiding philosophy used repeatedly to solve school, work, and business challenges.

INSIGHT

Three Rules To Use The Phrase Safely

Marie defines three rules to contain the phrase: problems are figureoutable, facts are not problems, and lack of care is okay.
This container helps people apply the idea practically without falling into magical thinking.

ADVICE

Prioritise Progress Over Perfection

Aim for progress, not perfection; produce more and measure growth instead of flawless results.
Use small consistent actions and accept flops as learning steps that move you forward.

What’s holding you back in life at the moment? Is there a problem – be it practical or emotional, to do with your health, relationships, work, finance or anything else – that seems insurmountable? Whatever your struggle, my guest on this week’s Feel Better Live More podcast believes that the solution is already within you – that you have what it takes to transform or transcend any challenge you face.

She’s Marie Forleo, a US entrepreneur, writer, philanthropist and, above all, an unshakeable optimist. I caught up with Marie on the London leg of a promotional tour for her new self-help book, Everything Is Figureoutable. The title is quite a promise but after listening to what she has to say, I think you’ll be inspired to think the same way.

We discuss perfectionism and why comparing ourselves unfavourably to others – so common in this age of social media – can really threaten our creativity. We also discuss the truth about excuses, the liberating difference between ‘can’t’ and ‘won’t’, and why a growth mindset is preferable to a fixed mindset if we want to make changes in our lives.

Whatever it is that you want from life, I think Marie’s strategies will shift you into a more positive mindset and help you take action. This is a really energising and inspiring conversation – I hope you enjoy it!
