I used to be VERY VERY sensitive to people judging my competence, this led me to always hate working while someone supervises from above, this sensitivity led me to isolation "i should be my own boss", "i should learn everything by myself", "i shouldn't be dependent on anyone"... i worked a lot on my self-esteem over the past two years, and now i'm less sensitive to people judging my work, and this opened a lot of opportunities for me.
Here I am at 4 am and this episode popped up. The past week I received an offer to join a partnership and it does not feel right. I'm an artist and toy designer, and I think the person that wants to have me in their team, does not know how to measure the value and work that these wooden toys require. Initially I felt super bad for setting my boundaries, but I did. There are so many people that always looked at my skills but in the past I've experience so many failures, doing work for non-payment, and I simply can't do it right now, because I don't have a job, my life is drawing and painting, and business people don't get that... My conclusion after seeing this, is that another opportunity will come to me. I will keep asking for one that really appreciate my transparency, my empathy and my mission.

Hi, Tamara and everyone else who feels the same way. I am with you. I felt really the same way. What helped me realize that my calling is so much bigger than my fears and limiting beliefs, and when I am creating something, I just pretend to speak with a dear friend of mine or some stranger who needs help. I am trying to be empathetic as I am, loving and use my intuition and stay true to myself. I started my RUclips channel 2 years ago in my native language, and it grows since then because I was myself and I focus on what my audience what and need. Some people need someone like you, not someone with thicker skin or tougher. It really does help if you focus more on the people you are serving and not on yourself. I know it looks so foreign, or maybe hard, and the advice is too simple. Just try it for yourself.
I definitely struggled when I started my business as I’m an introvert, but then found that offering coaching via email gave me a niche to work with other introverts and seemed to work just as well. “I have this extra capability to be able to contextualise things so that i can be effective in who i am and what I do” - This is so important. Everything I’ve found in my degrees and life experience is that we are not taught the life skills of reflection, thought-challenging, problem-solving, and how to ignite that inner capability we have naturally as human beings. We are all so much more capable than we realise, and we can learn so many of the skills we often feel we are lacking.
As a super shy and introverted homebody, and current B-Schooler, I'm loving this!! Thank you! And I love seeing Erin's 'Discovering Dahlias' on your desk, Marie!
I have to be honest, I'm pretty disheartened by the business world. Thank God I have felt a lot of emotional support to get through it!!! For the most part, I actually appreciate the lessons, because it's teaching me self-reliance and how to embrace presence/small joys. I'm blessed to have my weird lil "reality show" of sorts, n surely my talents will evolve, but MAN this in-between phase is tough!!! Thx for letting me vent about my frustrations. Great advice, btw!!!
I suggest reading the book “Quiet: The Power of Introverts by Susan Cain”. It’s a good read for recognizing your strengths/ natural abilities as an introverted or shy person and it shines a light on the erroneous belief that if you’re outgoing or gregarious you’re a better leader, better business person, more worthwhile or valuable as a person, etc, etc.
Remember that my friend “Becoming the best version of yourself requires you to continuously edit your beliefs, and to upgrade and expand your identity.” James clear
Thanks for your useful advice💖 I’m an introvert person, I love staying at home and I have some problems in communication. Thanks to your video, I found my answer that What I have to change and What I should keep.
Wow, I sooo needed this video. I have never been able to fit into the corporate mold and I have felt like a failure for most of my adult life. The challenge has been to figure out where I truly fit in career/money wise.
Marie, I think I've been listening to you for at least a decade. I never even subscribed because I never had to (I'd simply seek you out on my own, not knowing about the algorithm etc). I now have a couple business ideas in my head and boom! The most direct, relevant, helpful video ever! I'm not sure how u seem to always do that, but it could only be cuz you're wholly aligned on your path. Thanks for making me feel the same. Thank u so much! Much love from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹
We love when magic happens like that, Elena. Thank YOU for being here with us and for watching and listening. BIG Team Forleo hugs comin' your way. - Heather
this is something I really needed to hear and I am so grateful for her question because she described me perfectly. I am just about to finish grad school next June and I am returning to my home country to help with sick elderly family and I thought having a business would be good and I have so many ideas ….just never thought my personality was anti business owner. This def gave me more of the courage to look more into it
Thank you 🥺- im not surrounded by entrepreneur or successful business ppl so its hard to believe in myself sometimes. I get so scared. But this time im going to take my fears with me on a journey with me to fulfill my dreams.
Hey there! Thanks for stopping by and watching. We're so grateful to have you in our community. We believe in you, and we know you've got this! Don't stop believing in yourself! - Jeremy, Team Forleo

This is a great conversation. I’m very slowly growing my online business and I’m scared to be out in public like that. I’m having to deal with alot of limited beliefs. I wish I had the $ for B school. Maybe next year.
woow, it's an amazing video. It's useful for people who first start the business with the thin skin. And I'm one of them. Thank Marie Forleo for posting it. Best Regards!
It's like you're making videos on demand for me heheh, thank you for the inspiration. I've always been fairly successful, even though I never did the same thing for long. Eventually, life drove me to try youtube and, I don't know if it's the fact that you're putting yourself out there, I've found all my blocks coming up. It's been quite a stressful month and a half, I'm taking this way to personally... your videos definitely help. Thank you,
i saw your videos about goal setting it was great.❣️ But Ma'am how to deal with perfectionism procrastination like i search so much deeply what ever it is like study ,about self growth stuff like how to consistently study or focus... but not able to apply and also why i do every thing in last day or moment. and its solution plz .. i often start reading or studing but after few minutes i tired. i am a 3rd year student of doctor of physiotherapy. plz give me a practical soultion for this.. i always say to myself i will study this topic but i can't do what i think. i am a ISFP ( introverted, sensind g, feelling emotionaly weak, perceving) personality type person, scheduling and goal setting not work for me..& i get tired so quicklyy.... plz help me plzzzz give me solution.🙏😔

Wow! I will check it out...
I used to be VERY VERY sensitive to people judging my competence, this led me to always hate working while someone supervises from above, this sensitivity led me to isolation "i should be my own boss", "i should learn everything by myself", "i shouldn't be dependent on anyone"... i worked a lot on my self-esteem over the past two years, and now i'm less sensitive to people judging my work, and this opened a lot of opportunities for me.
You're amazing! :)
Thanks for this comment, I'm currently in your previous position
I pray I be able to grow out of it!
I love that Angela made the distinction that introverts get energy from solitude- it's not the same thing as being shy.
so so true.. I love people, but I need me time to recharge my batteries
And I would add shy is not the same as antisocial
The mindset “How can I help? How can I serve? What am I here to give?” Is absolutely priceless takeaway. What a shift in mentality. Thank you 🙏

Let shine your own light, stop trying to be somebody else. Being authentic is your best gift to the world!

What a powerful statement, I love that you don't have to become someone else to do this online business.
I suggest reading the book “Quiet: The Power of Introverts by Susan Cain”. It’s a good read for recognizing your strengths/ natural abilities as an introverted or shy person and it shines a light on the erroneous belief that if you’re outgoing or gregarious you’re a better leader, better business person, more worthwhile or valuable as a person, etc, etc.
You're so right, Stephanie! That is an awesome book. - Heather
Thank you 😊

Truth! Be the unique soul that you are meant to be! Thank you for reminding us of this.
Loved this talk.❤️ Embrace your unique self and the journey.
We achieve what we believe.
Thanks for your useful advice💖 I’m an introvert person, I love staying at home and I have some problems in communication. Thanks to your video, I found my answer that What I have to change and What I should keep.
MARIE - Thank you for your greatness! Thank you for sharing yourself/your gift(s) with us. Truly appreciative.
I love it! As soon as your focus shifts outwards, all self consciousness (aka shyness), melts away.
Wow, I sooo needed this video. I have never been able to fit into the corporate mold and I have felt like a failure for most of my adult life. The challenge has been to figure out where I truly fit in career/money wise.
Marie Forleo, you are doing great work , I really appreciate your work .
I am the same Angela. World need people with our unique skills 😍
I love this discussion. ❤️ Discover who you truly are. Stop trying to be someone else.
Marie, I think I've been listening to you for at least a decade. I never even subscribed because I never had to (I'd simply seek you out on my own, not knowing about the algorithm etc).

Thank you as an introvert, I really needed this.💖💃
I loved the part about it being about the service you provide to others or your vision ahead of everything else. Get yourself out of the way
Ambivert here. This has come at a good time as I will be signing up for a course soon which will lead to starting my own business 🙌 🙏
