In her book, The Top Five Regrets Of The Dying, Bronnie Ware says… “This was the most common regret of all. When people realize that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honored even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made.” Did you just get chills? I did. So my question for you is this… how are you going to make sure that you don’t experience the same regret? How are you going to conjure up the courage to follow your dreams and live a life that you love? A life on purpose. A life that fulfills you. My guest and dear friend, Marie Forleo has a simple practice to help you minimize regret and step into the confidence of taking action towards your dreams -- towards your heart’s truest desires. Marie’s been a guest on the Online Marketing Made Easy podcast many times before. And if you don’t know who she is, she’s been named the thought-leader of the next generation by Oprah herself. She’s a New York Times bestselling author, creator of one of the most popular training programs on the planet, B-School, and the creative force behind her award-winning show, MarieTV. In this episode, we’re talking about a powerful practice that she calls the “Ten-Year Test,” why you should always start before you’re ready, and how to create momentum towards your dreams. We’ll also talk about Marie’s free online business building workshop that she just released in which she’ll teach you The 6 Pillars of Building an Online Business. Marie has a tremendous gift for breaking things down to simple and understandable steps, so you do not want to miss this! I look forward to it all year. You’re going to love it! DON’T MISS THIS… The first video in Marie’s workshop series goes live today. Marie will share a simple 6 step roadmap to help you launch and grow your business online. You can find it at AmyPorterfield.com/Marie or click on the image below.

This was the most common regret of all. When people realize that their life is almost

over and they look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled.

0:39.9

Most people had not honored even half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was

due to choices they had made or not made. When I read that, I thought, I don't want any

part of that. I do not want that to be me. But sometimes it's easier said than done

0:57.1

to follow those dreams. In fact, what's difficult is finding the courage to actually make

it happen and move past all that fear and doubt that comes up when you want to do something

big. Believe me, I've been there many, many times. That fear is real. So that's why I've

And as entrepreneurs, we have this opportunity to create a life in a business that we absolutely
