Forleo and you are watching MarieTV, the place to be to create a business and life you love.

This is the MarieTV live call-in show, this is Gregory Patterson.

If you ever wondered who's responsible for the coiffing of the coif...

So what we do here is we take live calls from our amazing audience, folks just like you,

and we do our best to give them insight and some answers and some focus to move ahead.

Hi, Lily, it's Marie Forleo and you're on the live MarieTV call-in show, and Team Forleo

is here and we are so excited to talk to you.

I'm so excited to talk to you Marie, thank you so much for taking my question.

So I started a day coaching business with B-School 2018, so exciting.

I'm looking to partner with podcasts and bloggers to get my name and business out there, and

in this process I found someone with a large following and a popular podcast and I reached

out and they were really interested in speaking about a collaboration.

This person is lovely and talks about some things that my ideal customer definitely deeply

cares about, and then I was researching more into her podcast and I found that her podcast

values and some of her episodes specifically on dating, religion, sex, don't align with

my own and given the opportunity, do you think I should appear on the podcast to get my name

out there, the risk being my brand would be associated with one I don't resonant with

or do I just go on if given the opportunity to see if it can grow my following?

So I was actually recently flying back from Los Angeles to New York City and I watch this

amazing documentary that I actually recommend for everyone including you about Warren Buffett.

I always take notes when I watch documentaries because there's always such great gems that

One of the quotes from Warren is this, "It takes 20 years to build a reputation, and

When you think about that, you do things differently."

Ain't nothin' worth ruining your still small but trying to be building––right––reputation,

and I love how much respect that you crafted around this particular person, the fact that

she's lovely, she was open to talking to you, but when you dug a little deeper, that you

found that the values, there was no alignment there.

That is gonna happen at many parts of your career and we can love people, we can respect

them, we can appreciate what they do and who they are in the world, and we do not have

to align ourselves with them or do any kind of business with them.

So my recommendation clear as clear can be for you is don't go on the damn podcast.

It's just like that's it in a nutshell, and yeah I don't know, Greg's here with me.

Greg, do you have any thoughts that you wanna share with Lily?

Lily, it's so funny because I was in a position in my life recently and I remember showing

I got chosen to be a part of a fabulous group on a gigantic television show.

It was so against my brand, and remember when we were talking about it and I'm like, "Marie,

this just, in my soul does not feel right to me."

Probably the biggest career opportunity of my life, but it didn't feel right for my brand

To this day, the moving on bit of protecting my brand has been so freeing and liberating

and it's peaceful knowing I made the right choice, you know what I mean?

Yeah it's a real good simplifier for all of us.

If someone's values don't align with them, again, it doesn't mean we don't respect them,

we don't appreciate who we are, we can love on them from afar, but it's not the kind of

Thank you for the encouragement to value my own brand.

As one that has its own voice and its own potential, and that's clear as day.

So thank you so much for all that advice, Greg and Marie.

Again, I know in this world, it's really hard 'cause all of us are constantly doing whatever

We're doing what we can to build our businesses and sometimes it can be really tempting when

people put things in front of us and it appears to be an amazing opportunity that can "catapult

us" but something inside is like, 'This doesn't quite feel right.'

You have got to trust those senses, those intuitions, those feelings, and especially

for you, Lily, reiterating this just for everyone listening.

When you're clear about a values' misalignment, don't go there.

Don't every go there again, ain't nothin' that's worth more than your reputation.

How do you say that to someone if you've already begun the conversation about collaboration?

Friends often know me as one of the most honest people they'll ever meet.

I have friends that say, "Girl, you just tell it.

Then there's other folks that find that their personal style is perhaps, they'll position

it a little differently, like, "You know what, I'm actually changing direction for my business."

So Lily, I'm gonna leave that up to you, I feel like there's always a way to communicate
