Marie Forleo
Everything is figureoutable
The transmission
Marie Forleo (born December 7, 1975, in New Jersey) is an American entrepreneur, author, and host of MarieTV, a long-running online video series, and The Marie Forleo Podcast.
A graduate of Seton Hall University, she built a personal-development and online-business brand on a single organizing belief — that “everything is figureoutable,” a phrase she attributes to her mother — which became the title of her #1 New York Times bestseller Everything Is Figureoutable (2019).
Through her digital program B-School she has reached tens of thousands of small-business owners across many countries. Forleo’s place in mind-power is as a bridge between classic success literature and the modern creator economy.
She repackages mindset, belief, and disciplined action into a pragmatic, optimistic message aimed at entrepreneurs and creatives, leaning more on attitude and self-efficacy than on overt metaphysics. Her “figureoutable” philosophy is essentially a belief-shapes-capacity claim — that holding the conviction a problem is solvable changes how persistently and creatively a person pursues it.
What they gave
“Everything is figureoutable”: Distilled belief-driven persistence into a single memorable, widely shared maxim.
- MarieTV and digital reach: Used online video and courses to spread mindset teaching to a global entrepreneurial audience.
- Mindset-meets-action: Paired belief work with concrete, pragmatic execution rather than pure visualization.
- Creator-economy bridge: Helped move self-help into the online-business and personal-brand era.
In their words
The most powerful words in the universe are the words you say to yourself.
Beliefs are the hidden scripts that run our lives.
All beliefs are a choice and choices can be changed.
In order to change ourselves, we must first believe we can.
Action is the antidote to fear. Action metabolizes it.
Perfectionism at its core isn’t about high standards. It’s about fear. Fear of failure. Fear of looking stupid, fear of making a mistake, fear of being judged, criticized, and ridiculed.
Your potential is limitless. You are unique, valuable, capable, and worthy of the dreams in your heart.
