Marie: Hey it’s Marie Forleo and you are watching MarieTV,
-
the place to be if you want to create a business and life you love, and I think you do because
-
today is a very special day. Not only is it New Years Eve, but it’s also the third anniversary
-
of MarieTV. That is what I'm talking about. Never too early in the day to get a little
-
drunk on positivity. We like to call it ‘positipsy.’
-
That was just the pre-party but the real event is coming right now and the guest of honor
-
is you. A few months ago, we asked for your help regarding this episode. Why? Because
-
without you, MarieTV really wouldn’t exist. If you didn’t open up my emails, if you
-
didn’t watch our crazy ass videos, this show would not be here right now, so thank
-
you so much.
-
We got a ton of submissions and while I can't give a shout out to everybody, we chose some
-
of the best and we’re going to honor them right now. Let’s go.
-
Here we go. Today’s first shoutie goes to Danielle Ford from the Young Mom’s Club,
-
it’s youngmomsclub.com for the Most Unlikely Pairing, and she says:
-
“There's only two people in the world whose videos I can't wait to watch and who I travel
-
thousands of miles to see live and they are Marie Forleo and Weird Al Yankovic.”
-
Thank you so much Danielle. I think.
-
Our next shoutie goes to Grace Smith for the Best Use of ‘Holla.’ Grace says:
-
“Before MarieTV, I had an impressive resume and a hollow life, but after watching MarieTV,
-
I have a kick ass resume and a ‘holla’ life. Seriously, you’ve changed everything
-
Marie. Thank you.”
-
No, thank you Grace and holla back, girl.
-
The next shoutie is for the Most Meaningful Comment from a Male Waxing Professional, and
-
the shoutie goes to Omar from doyouwaxit.com and he says:
-
“For the last six years, I've experienced a lot of failure and started to feel like
-
a fraud. For a while, I lost hope in the business world and felt the only way to make it was
-
to be dishonest. Then I watched your Not Good Enough video and realized its possible to
-
have a profitable, fun and ethical business. I want to genuinely thank you and your team
-
for making a difference every day and inspiring me to be a better business person and a better
-
person in general.”
-
Thanks a lot Omar. We really appreciate that. We want you to keep on watching and keep on
-
waxing.
-
The next shoutie is for the Most Flattering Amnesia, and it goes to Pernille from thedivinewriter.com.
-
When asked how she discovered MarieTV, she says:
-
“I honestly don’t remember, but then again I also don’t remember life before MarieTV.”
-
Neither do we Pernille.
-
The next award is for the Best Multi-Passionate Career, and the shoutie goes to Tracy Vasquez
-
from sugarbeez.com, who says she's a police dispatcher/cookie artist. Tracy is amazing,
-
she's a single mom, she has not two but three jobs. She's a medical editor, a part time
-
dispatcher and she has her custom cookie business. Tracy says she loves MarieTV and without it,
-
she would not have learned to be humble and she would not have as many great friends like
-
the one and only Tangela Ekhoff.
-
Tracy, thank you so much for watching and keep kicking multi-passionate ass.
-
Staying on the theme of sweets, the next up is the Best Dessert Based Analogy, and the
-
shoutie goes to Lissette Guzman in San Diego whose company Madame X creates short run custom
-
decorated shoes and lingerie. She writes:
-
“My biz and life plans before MarieTV was like a crazy gooey hot fudge sundae mess melting
-
all over the place. Good, but disorganized. But after watching MarieTV, I'm finding my
-
biz and life can be like a lovely scoop of chocolate gelato in a chilled crystal bowl,
-
little better and more refined and defined and with purpose because I deserve it.”
-
Lissette, don’t we all?
-
And Lissette is sweeping the shouties tonight with a second nod for the Best Cosmic Discovery.
-
And she writes:
-
“In my quest to lose weight, I stumbled across an old crunch DVD and one of the instructions
-
was Marie. Her routine was the one I liked the most and she had such a vivacious fun
-
and engaging personality that I started looking for other videos with her in it. I typed her
-
name on Google and was happy to find she was not just a fitness instructor, but there was
-
this whole motivational Marie-verse out there.”
-
Girl, that is something NASA has known for years.
-
Next up, the always popular category of Best Great Grandma Redemption Story, and the shoutie
-
goes to Linda Lochridge Hoenigsberg, or you can call this ‘you think you got a bad award,’
-
because she's endured a shocking list of ordeals which you should really read about below this
-
video. They’ve included living on the streets as a teen, unimaginable horrors and being
-
diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. But today, she says:
-
“I've overcome all of this and live a joy filled life because of a wonderful husband,
-
three children, 10 grandchildren and two great grandchildren, a career I love helping others
-
and a new venture into selling online information products. MarieTV was the inspiration for
-
that.”
-
Linda, a therapist with a full private practice, also tells us she didn’t begin her education
-
until age 51. Linda, you’ve inspired us, you are one great shrink and one great grandmama.
-
Next up is the Best Unpronounceable Compliment, and the shoutie goes to Cynthia Frenette from
-
greencouchdesigns.com, who told me “I love your approach, I love your voice and kick-ass-ivity!”
-
Thanks for watching Cynthia.
-
And the final category for tonight is for the Best Comment That Retaught Me What I Taught
-
Her, and it goes to Ese Walter. She's a writer and a radio host from Nigeria whose empowering
-
young women and men in her country on how to avoid abuse and thrive after coming out
-
of abusive situations. Ese says:
-
“The main thing I've learned from MarieTV is ‘I'm not for everyone.’ This singular
-
discovery has delivered me from the pits of despair when I feel my work is not appreciated
-
by people. I just say “They ain't for me,” and carry on with the work I love.”
-
Ese, that’s some good stuff. Did I say that?
-
Thank you all so much for coming and now back to me in the studio. Me?
-
