  • 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 itpositipsy.’

  • 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 were 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 ofHolla.’ 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 ‘hollalife. Seriously, youve 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 thisyou think you got a bad award,’

  • because she's endured a shocking list of ordeals which you should really read about below this

  • video. Theyve 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, youve 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 sayThey ain't for me,” and carry on with the work I love.”

  • Ese, that’s some good stuff. Did I say that?
