Tara Wagner : Going into this book, I had
zero concept of what it was actually about.
I just knew that I love Marie Forleo.
I already wholeheartedly agree with the concept
of Everything is Figureoutable and I wanted
to figure out how she turned it into an entire
book.
I guess that's the one thing I couldn't figure
out.
So I've read it, I've done everything in it
and I want to share with you what it's about,
my experience of it.
And be sure to stick around to the end because
I will let you know who I think this book
is really for because it ain't for everybody.
Welcome back boss ladies and the few gents
in the audience.
If you are brand new here, hello.
My name is Tara Wagner of xotara.us.
I'm a belief breakthrough coach with nearly
a decade experience helping women to crush

So we got to talk about the book, Everything
is Figureoutable by Marie Forleo.
If you don't know who Marie Forleo is, after
this video make sure that you go and Google
her and probably maybe get this book.
I'll tell you at the end.
You can decide if it's going to be a good
fit for you.
Like I said, I had zero concept going into
it.
I just knew that I wanted to read it and I
love everything that she puts out and so I
assumed that it would be something that I
would enjoy.
So I pre-ordered it.
I got it earlier even than expected.
I zoomed through it and I'm really excited
to put this video together for you.
So here's what it is about.
The book is called, Everything is Figureoutable.
Obviously it's about everything being figureoutable,
but it really goes through every single one
of the common obstacles that get in our way
of figuring things out, which is like 80%
mindset and like 20% mindset.
Here's what you can expect from this book.
There are 10 short chapters.
Almost every chapter has exercises at the
end of them.
And it's a very easy read.
It seems like a big hefty book, but they're
all double spaced lines and so it's not going
to take forever.
You can go through this probably in a day
or two if you've got some time to set aside.
I would actually recommend for most people
you're going to want to go through this one
chapter at a time to really be able to absorb
everything and be able to do the exercises.
The fact that it is an easy read means that
it's not as deep as I had hoped.
I was really hoping for some juicy information.
Like let's take this concept really deep,
let's look at some things to really prove
the concept maybe.
You're not going to find a lot of research
in here.
You're not going to find a lot of complicated
ideas.
But what it lacks in all of that, it makes
up in action.
It is such a perfect actionable book.
In fact, I would look at it more as a workbook
than a piece of nonfiction.
This is not something that you're going to
read just to feel good about yourself.
This is something that you're going to read
to actually put it into practice as soon as
possible.
That's really part of what I loved about it.
It's really about putting mindset into action.
So those of you that know me, you know that
I do belief breakthrough work.
I'm talking about mindset all the time.
One of the things that I'm passionate about
is making it very practical and actionable
so when I'm coaching with somebody they actually
know how to change their mindset.
That's what I loved about this, is that you
have those practical pieces like, okay, all
of these concepts are great, but what do I
actually do to really absorb them, take them
in and make them real for me.
She really puts that into place.
I love the exercises that she has in the book.
There's some really good ones.
There's ones that I'm probably going to borrow.
I really highly recommend when you're doing
the workbook piece of this at the end of every
chapter that you really play all out in it
and go deep because that's where the magic
is.
The book is a great and it's inspirational
and it reads kind of like she would talk in
her videos if you've ever seen her Marie TV
videos, but the real magic is what you're
going to come up with as you're going through
the exercises.
So do not skimp on those.
That being said, I won't say that this will
help you to learn how to change your beliefs
or change your mindset.
It's really just going to teach you how to
view this one concept, this one belief and
change your mindset around that idea.
So what was my personal experience going through
this book?
A lot of the concepts were not new to me.
Obviously this is something I've been doing
for a while and it's a concept that I've lived
for a while, but there were some pieces that
really resonated deeply.
One of the chapters that she had on refuse
to be refused, that one really struck me because
one of the things that I've always found frustrating
about this concept is that I believe it, but
so many other people don't.
And so I would hit a brick wall over and over
again because people just don't understand
or view things the way that I would view things
and I didn't really quite get how to get through
to people.
Like how do I explain to other people that
everything is figureoutable.
I really picked up some key nuggets in that
chapter and just had some of my own aha moments
as well in terms of like approaching things
with maybe a little less frustration and the
whole honey versus vinegar approach.
I may have also been just a little bit hormonal
because there was a couple of stories in that
chapter that just brought tears to my eyes.
Her airport story, totally crying because
I could just feel all of the emotion and frustration
and anxiety that she was feeling.
And the story that she told about the  Liberian
peace movement and the work that those women
did just, just hit me in my gut because we
can feel like we are up against some major,
major obstacles in our life, but when you
look at people who are willing to do what
those women did to not be refused, it's just
so inspiring to remember that most of our
problems are first world problems, right?
Like they're not that big of a deal.
And if we can look at it through that perspective
and understand just how easy the problem actually
is to solve compared to other bigger problems
that are being solved every day, it can really
give us the encouragement, the inspiration
and the motivation to do the thing.
So who is this book not for?
This book is not for somebody who is maybe
struggling with other mindset issues and want
to know how to overcome them.
This book is not for anyone who likes a lot
of proof, a lot of data, a lot of research
to back up what they are taking in.
And that's not to say there's anything wrong
with that.
Certain brains just learn and absorb concepts
in different ways, which means this book is
just not going to be for you.
This book is really for somebody who A) probably
already knows Marie Forleo's voice, doesn't
mind some cuss words.
If you don't like the term, "rando ass biscuits",
you will not enjoy this book.
However, if you are cool with all of those
things and you're ready to really take action
and you're feeling stuck, you're feeling like
there are no solutions to the problem that
you're facing, you know you need the encouragement,
the motivation, and some new skills to help
you overcome those hurdles, that's who this
book is for.
So it's definitely not for everybody, but
if it sounds like something that you want
to check out, I will drop a link below.
And I also just want to do a shameless little
plug for this channel because if you like
Marie Forleo, if you like mindset concepts,
if you like practicality, I think you'll really
like what we're doing here on this channel.
