This is literally the best interview on entrepreneurship I have ever watched. Love and resonate immensely with the message of following the spirit of growth and abundance from insight out.
Wow! We're so glad that you're resonating with this conversation and it's proving helpful as you continue to follow your own spirit of growth.
- Team Forleo
I love that Suzy tried and failed so hard and kept going until she succeeded! Thanks Marie.
That was just.... WOW! The gut feeling is universal• I started listening and watched magic happening! Thank you Marie
Suzy is so tune, tapped in, turned on and tuned in...she is the great example of the "Law of Attraction". Money is a side effect and moving towards live ideas she is already in the thought/feeling habit of "I am abundant". Thanks Marie for a wonderful interview and for always keeping us on our game.
I got goosebumps all the way through this video. Lots of amazing insights.. OMG, what a DOPE interview!
Wow wow wow... this Suzy Batiz is AMAZING!!! Such a blessed spirit.
Aliveness!! Follow the things that wake you up
Watching this is giving me chills!!!! Thank you for this!!:)
I just died and went to heaven and back!! this was beautiful!!!!!!! OMG!! thank you , thank you fo sharing this - I loved every second of it!!!
Awesome! Congrats on your success!
I am blown away by this interview you two!! I took notes furiously and will be watching it over and over. Absolutely amazing high-level business and life wisdom. Thank you so much for sharing your insights! :)
The conversation around "Ideas being alive" made me think of Elizabeth Gilbert's book "Big Magic" where she talks about ideas as living beings and the "Idea fairy". That book is a must-read for all creatives or wanna-be creatives (including entrepreneurs!) :)
Niloo second that
Niloo ohhh me too
Niloo ideas absolutely are alive :) life has proven that to me over and over again!
What I am thinking too! Awesome book from Gilbert as well! :)
Yes! We did an amazing interview with her as well - if you haven't seen it, hop on over here:

Love the comparison you made, and we're wishing you many many 'lively ideas'!
- Team Forleo
thank you soo much .. a prompt to follow my Intuition & stop Procrastinating!!
What an epic interview sharing the experience and wisdom from you both! ✨So inspiring!!!✨✨
This conversation made me feel ALIVE! ah-mazing!
I know that excited feeling. I am a outdoor adventure backpack designer. I have had the designs and wish to start this business in my head since about the age of 4. I just opened my etsy shop and amazing opportunity are happening. I am running with it don't know what I am doing but I'm diving in head first. I'm alive again and happy.
Way to go Ana! Your expansiveness is so apparent here, and we're cheering you on!
- Team Forleo
Girl.....were so lucky that we have people like you in the world!!!
I can't believe how much this resonates! I'm 37 and have felt that money was supposed to be the vibration I needed. And yet I've never obtained something reachable. I love how humble you both are! That is huge! It really shows, it's about happiness! Money is the not the entree, it's the dessert!
Ohhhh Cheryl I love this line, 'money is not the entree, it's the dessert.' How beautifully put!
- Team Forleo
I remember watching the first poo pourri ad. I could not believe it was an actual ad. I was laughing so hard. Just knowing the person behind the product makes me really want to meet her. You both are awesome! Great tips and a beautiful perspective I now have thanks to you both. 😊🙌
Ads that make you laugh out loud are incredible! We're so glad this interview gave you some beautiful new perspectives :)
- Team Forleo
Yes! those moments when you're deciding stuff: just asking that question: if I do this, does it make me feel happy? energised? etc...? or even excited (scared) but in a good way... it's an incredible habit to develop and live by
Fun to see the face behind the brand! I appreciate that Suzy is a woman closer to my age and hearing her struggles and thoughts. Inspiring interview!
YAAASSSSS!!! I have been waiting for this interview. Marie would always talk about how genius Poo-Pourris branding is.
Absolutely amazing!! Us woman have a greater connection to our intuition, and that will make us the best entrepreneurs in the upcoming years. It's not about creating money, it's about feeling alive and pursuing that idea!!
Loved this! I Like what she said in the beginning about how she always had a false sense that she only had value if she was successful! and felt so depleted and burnt out in her businesses. I feel like I can be that way. I'm learning how to just have more fun with things and come from a place of more Joy and less "striving"..great stuff
Absolutely love the tip from Marie at 14:00 about knowing the difference between intuition and fear... Marie says, "Do I feel expansive or contracted?" ...Love this and would love to hear more on this!
Love you Marie!!! Thank you for allowing B Schoolers to try/fail/try/fail but still avail of your paid for resources. Can't wait to finish my degree in Applied Psychology in University College Cork (Ireland) and take up B School again. I bought Everything Is Figuroutable since and looking forward to making you even more able to take Pride in yourself ❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you for Marie TV also to keep the dream(s) alive
This interview was so motivating! And the questions so well asked, and her answers so real! Thank you for this
Love this conversation about tuning into those nuances of our intuition 😍🙃✨
I was inspired by Susie when she shared how she felt like the worst entrepreneur & how she file bankruptcy twice.This meant a lot to me because I love & use her product! It gave me hope to keep pressing on - & pay attention to the intuition tingles. Thank you ladies💚
Talk about good timing. I've been torn between two different career paths for a while now. One is practical, traditional and "secure," the other is self-driven, difficult to predict and "risky." Yet, it is the second one that keeps me up at night and fills me with electric energy. I guess I knew the answer all along and now I should start putting some action behind it. Fantastic and frank conversation. Thanks for sharing, Marie.
5 minutes in and this is life changing! It is always so refreshing to see woman talk about business. I've been so discouraged from the male perspective of business, that I've just returned to my original passion of education, yet I know in my soul that I will have one in the future. Thank you ladies for sharing your story!
Such an amazing interview 😍 I’ve loved Poo-Pourri for the longest time... I tell everyone how amazing the product is and your copy makes me chuckle like crazy 😂.
My key insight after watching this is really honing in on my intuition and feeling to guide me to some answers I’ve been struggling to find for a while. Now I remember back to the days when I felt as though I was in flow and business was growing in ways I couldn’t have imagined, was because of those tingles I’d feel. Over time I’ve grown burdened, run down and uninspired which spirals into fear. As much as I keep trying to pick myself up, it only works for so long and now I’ve realised perhaps my creative energy hasn’t been harnessed enough like it used to be - perhaps I need to go out there and *really create* to feel inspired & alive again 🙌🏼 You both are such brand gurus and really make me think so differently. I continually write crazy copy so I don’t throw another boring chunk of text to the world but create fun, conversations or real talk to spread a positive message. Or at least put a smirk on peoples faces. Thanks for paving the way for me and making me think “why the hell should I need to write like a boring stiff journo that uses stuck up synonyms to sound smarter?” when really I can just write how I talk and be a real human being. #goldstarforreadingtotheend #loveyousoulsistas 💓
Biggest takeaway is paying more attention to the physical sensations of intuition accompanying business ideas and opportunities. I do it with clients every day, and yet I'm realizing I may not do it within the business context, even though it's my life as well as my vocation. (Geesh.) Amazing interview. Inspiring and grounding. 🙌
3:44 and onward one of the most intriguing answers and questions in entrepreneurship. "Ideas are alive"
Omg, I AM AMAZED!! love this 😍
Ah, I could listen to this conversation for hours!
Love this "Chills in my body, the idea won't leave me alone."
This was one of the most inspirational interviews I've seen!!
DO YOU!!! TRUST YOUR GUT!!! Don't let anyone shake you up!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this episode! The feeling that you get when you create something that just feels right is when you KNOW that it was meant to be!
Inspiring for us creative emotional humans.
I loved this video so much, I didn’t want it to end! I loved how she focused on being happy NOW, not waiting until the goal is reached. So good! Thanks you ladies! ♥️
Not long enough! Could listen to you two all day!
Fantastic interview ... I could listen to you both talk for hours ... so many great insights, ideas and revelations I get to walk away with. Thank you both. My heart sang when I heard that neither of you decided to write a business plan and instead have allowed your business to grow organically - a huge weight has been lifted! As an artist I can breathe again. 💋
I love this interview! Everyone, family and friends, get poo-pouri in their Christmas stockings. Love how both of you are using your intuition guide your businesses. Keep jumping the hurdles! XO
Gr8 interview!!! She is simply superb!!!
I think.... I've felt those "alive ideas" before... but misinterpreted them....
I think I am seeking happiness, too.
THAT WAS FREAKING AWESOME!!! 💃💃💃💃💃💃👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💓💓💓💓
A dear friend sent me this because my business is struggling. It CAN be huge but 12 years later its too many hurdles, and I'm burned out. I would quit if I didn't have wonderful investors who believe in me. I want then to not have made a mistake in that. So once I get over this hurdle, I want to get it ready to sell so it can be someone else's new dream and do with it, what i couldn't, or should I say "didn't?". Thank you for a beautiful and inspiring interview. I almost cried. Continued success ladies, and to everyone else who commented here.
Di
She is so down to earth and human
She deserves it
So inspiring this interview. I watched it twice. Thank you a million times for your generosity and energy ❤
I so needed to watch this today. Thanks Marie and team
Listening to her share her defining moment concerning the idea and the physical experience she had sent chills down my spine. WOW! Once she got out of her head, out of her past and stopped trying to figure it out. Once she got all the junk cleared out the way and re-discovered her joy, her creativity began to flow and it lined up with her passion. Powerful and very insightful.
single most important thing "NEVER QUIT" & keep pushing forward :)
Marie, I just love your channel and you. Thank you for providing all of us with some great content that is not only helpful but informative. In case anyone hasn't told you lately, you're awesome!! Wishing you the VERY best of everything.
What a beautiful message for Marie. Thanks so much Leigh for being a part of our world
Was doing my makeup listening to this talk and the name Suzy caught my ears (Hey, my name! haha). I have a product design in mind that I've been trying to bring to life, and it would be awesome if one day I'm able to make it available for everyone. This interview was incredibly motivational. Thanks so much for the dose of 'alive!!
herartisheart you’ve got me curious! Bring it to life, girl !
Before you do anything make sure there is a need for your product.
What an inspiration! My takeaway is to follow “the one that makes me feel the most alive” 🙌🏼✨ Thank you for this interview ❤
Love that takeaway, Jamie. Thank you for sharing with us and for being here. ❤
Thank you Marie and Suzie from the bottom of my heart. I have had this world wide marketing idea incubating inside of me for at least thirty years and it always pops up when I see a hard sell video or sales letter. Marie's comment on how how she moves away and shrinks from negative stuff has really helped me to understand how to let my intuition guide me towards my goal. Love your work :)
Use your intuition, Boris. It will steer you in the right direction. We're cheering you on all the way. - Team Forleo
And you guys do it again! Perfect video and I just loooved the topic of following your intuition. My Husband and I def make a lot of our decisions listening to our guts and being honest with our business as well. Thanks for your awesome work! ❤️❤️
I have felt that buzz up the left arm before. OMW this video is just amazing!!
We don't have to wait until the end goal to be happy...
We can look back and be like " oh, yeah, that was a great ride"
Heck to the YES! You absolutely get it; there is no actual 'end,' so enjoying the journey is vital to creating happiness.
- Team Forleo
By far my favorite interview EVER. It literally gave me chills.
We love hearing this! It's definitely one of our favorites as well - so powerful.
- Team Forleo
Wow. This was truly inspiring :o I think the biggest insight was about the actual feeling when you hear a "good" idea and how you explained how it makes you feel - I will definitely pay more attention to that!!!!!!!
Great interview. Love the passion you both have.
Wait! It’s over already!? This interview felt really good.
Yes! Haha, that was also my thought
We could also listen to this for hours! So many good nuggets; we hope it's inspiring you to take some great lively leaps forward :)
- Team Forleo
The tingles! As soon as you two started talking about them, I knew exactly what I should be chasing!
Lorna so good! Go for it!❤️
Marie Forleo, I discovered you thru a recommendation by a youtuber 'Liah Yoo', she featured you on her myday in instagram. I must say that this whole concept of your channel; the topics, your guests, your communicating style, the informative messages.. EVERYTHING is very inspiring to me. As an 18 year old living in this kind of generation, these are actually the messages that I want to be fed with. Thank you, because of what you are doing (and also because of the guests) I'm able to expand my knowledge, keep the spirit alive in me as a woman, and be strong and independent. I'm obsessed with nourishing myself at a young age to be the best woman I can be, everyday, and for my future self. Thank you.
Important point is to not be so focused on the end goal
Such a great interview. I love how she describes how she gets that inspiration and how ideas are alive. Excellent and inspiring!
Soooo Inspiring on every level! Thank you ladies for being your authentic selves.
" I discovered i actually didnt want money, but happiness." Mic drop.🎤
So empowering! One of the best interviews I've ever stumbled upon. Thank you I needed this
I LOVE this episode! I love the idea that ideas are alive! It makes a lot of sense! Thanks for sharing :-)
Loved this! Thank you Marie! After listening, I realize that this is the way I’ve gone about some of my decisions in my life for the last 20 years. I only recently discovered my passion and, in fact, I’ll be reaching out to you at some point. I think you’re going to love it!
I found this incredibly inspiring! Thank you both for everything you've shared in this episode. I've often considered myself a bit of a 'late bloomer' and it's really got me down at times. BUT this conversation gave me such inspiration and a renewed sense of positivity.
Thank you! This was very empowering! I go with my gut regardless what the rest of the world is doing. It served me many times. Thank you for sharing these gold nuggets.
This was so amazingly inspiring! It all makes sense, thank you for this!
Thank you Marie and Suzy!!!!
I have how open and generous you both are with sharing your experiences!
Really enjoyed this, thank you. That feeling of an electric YES in your body is pure magic. ♥️
We totally agree!
- Team Forleo
awesome interview! i love how Suzy describes "resonance" - great explanation and really great show! thanks!!
That which makes you feel the most Alive! Go with that idea! Everything is Figureoutable!!
The timing of this video is impeccable. I love my current job for all the people, but I get physically sick everyday when I go into work, even if I was feeling fine beforehand. I think I have to push through for now, though.
It's so helpful to be aware of those feelings Lizzie! We're so glad this came at the right time to help shine a light on what you're experiencing, and encourage you to make the next right step :)
- Team Forleo
I loved this talk so much!!! I really liked the concept of ideas being alive and not leaving you alone, how they make you just FEEL right. I'm going to adopt this strategy in my pursuits and see where I end up!
My aha moment for this interview is follow your gut and have fun. Thing will be figured out !!
LOVE this interview!!
this is simply wonderful storytelling and so inspiring ...
Marie, this was an exceptional interview. wow. Thanks so much!
A little late to the party, lol but my insight was "Trust your gut" I'm putting it in action because I've had a gut feeling about an idea running in my head for a while, and I am taking more concrete steps to act on it. Thanks for this inspiring video!
Brilliant, thank you!
I love you forever Marie! Thank you for everything!💙🙌🏼✨
Wow so amazing. For the past couple of months I've been slowly figuring out what 'tuning into my intuition' means to me, and the way you too are describing it explains it so much. I'm very sensitive to the feeling, and have been noticing that sometimes I can't do something (like actually physically) if it gives me that contracting feeling inside. It's a great compass and I hope to keep using it to get some place great!
Excellent interview.
Can you bring her back for a second conversation? There is so much more to learn!
Fantastic absolutely fantastic cant wait untill books comes out
Excellent and inspiring!!!
Loved this! Thanks!!
What a lovely lady and great interview on Trusting Your Intuition....and that she did the emotional inner work on herself......1st time i have watched your vidoes and that was great thankyou.... Love,Light and Twinkles xxxx
So much beautiful truth in this video. Thank you!
Good stuff Marie thank you for sharing.
