Marie: Hey it’s Marie Forleo and you are watching MarieTV,
that’s right, the place to be if you want to create a business and life you love.
And this is Q&A Tuesday, and today’s question comes from Santa!
Holy cow!
Santa writes:
“Dear Marie, I'm your number one fan on the North Pole.
Love your energy, girl.
You’ve always been on my Nice List and I wanted to give you your Christmas present
early.”
This is amazing, but wait up, this is Christmas Eve.
Shouldn’t you be out delivering presents all over the world?
Santa: I should.
I just can't seem to get motivated.
I just don’t know what to do.
I'm burnt out.
I don’t know.
That’s why I came to you.
Marie: Do you want a different career?
Do you want to go in a different direction?
Santa: Oh, no.
I love delivering presents to all the children.
It’s just that I could have had a really cushy job at my father’s real estate office,
but no I chose this job and blah blah blah blah.
Anyway, I've got my list.
Marie: Is that of who’s naughty and nice?
Santa: No.
It’s my Q’s for you to A.
Marie: Oh, ok.
All right.
It is Q&A Tuesday, so what do you got for me?
Santa: Number one, I feel like I've lost my passion for what I do.
All I want to do is lie under the covers and watch Mob Wives and Dance Moms.
How do I get my passion back?
Marie: Great question, Santa.
I got to say you're not the only one that asks this question, but I will say, you told
me you're a big fan of MarieTV and we've already covered that.
Here's the deal: we have a video What to Do When You Doubt Everything and You Want to
Stay in Bed.
You're going to watch that right after this, done, awesome, next question.
Santa: Number two, how can I take my business to the next level?
I want to reach more people, make a bigger difference and I want a little location freedom
for me and the Mrs.
Marie: Awesome question.
Question for you, Santa.
Do you have a mailing list?
Santa: Do I have a mailing list?
Do I ever.
Marie: First of all, you need all those contacts in email
and you need to be the one contacting them.
Here's the other thing: you can't just give people stuff one time a year; you got to stay
in regular touch all year long.
You need to get your jolly ass in B-School.
It will totally help you bust through this rut and you're going to get to travel more
with the Mrs.
Santa: You mean boys can do B-School?
Marie: Yes, I've been saying that forever.
Everybody is welcome in B-School and we have tons of guys in there already.
You are going to love them.
Here's the thing: you get one more question and then you need to get back to work, brother.
Santa: Oh, boy.
Ok.
Let’s see.
Number 83, I'm gluten intolerant and every one keeps leaving me cookies.
I eat them and then I get bloated and gassy, the reindeers certainly complain because we’re
in a tight space.
Marie: Santa, I got it.
Here's the thing: I love your work, I follow you on Twitter, never once have I heard you
say anything publicly about being gluten intolerant.
Here's the thing you got to do: all you’ve got to do is let everybody know and say “thank
you for all the cookies, they're amazing but I'm only going to eat the ones that are gluten
free and the rest I'm going to take home to the elves and Mrs. Claus.”
Done.
Santa: But Mrs. Claus could stand to lose a few-
Marie: No, yeah buts, just listen to mama Marie.
Before you go, I have one question for you.
What do you want for Christmas, Santa?
Santa: Well, I was thinking about these great new Ped socks.
They have treads at the bottom, they're very short, and they’re very trendy nowadays.
Or I could take a Kenny G. CD; that cat sure can jam.
Or I could just take a kiss.
Marie: What the f*ck?
Boundaries.
Santa: I'm so sorry.
Please forgive me.
I'm just such a huge fan and it’s been so long since I've been to the city.
Can we just pretend like this never happened?
Marie: Of course we can, Santa.
It’s okay.
Are you all right now?
Santa: 100%.
This was amazing.
I'm going to go and hit some snowballs out of the park.
I'm going to give so many presents, rock so many chimneys and I'm finally going to do
B-School.
I don’t know what the heck I've been waiting for.
Marie: Awesome.
Santa: You know Marie, I do have one more wish.
