“Clarity comes from engagement, not thought.”

– Marie Forleo, Everything is Figureoutable

I know I do.

Have you read Marie Forleo’s outstanding book, Everything is Figureoutable? If not, it’s fab!

If you are not familiar with Marie Forleo, she is an entrepreneur, writer, philanthropist and host of Marie TV. I have been a fan of Marie’s for years and thoroughly enjoy her podcasts.

“Clarity comes from engagement, not thought. Write that down. Memorize it. Tattoo it on your tush. Whenever you’re trapped in the hell of indecision, do something about it as quickly…
