Hey there!Thank you so much for wanting to take your Everything is Figureoutable
journey even deeper. Grab your nearest and dearest, meet up in person or
virtually, and welcome to the #EIFBookClub!
Important Note:
These questions are designed to help you move powerfully ahead no matter
how much you’ve read of the book (you don’t even have to wait until you’ve
finished it!). And they’re NOT a replacement for the action challenges in the
book. They actually build upon that work and accelerate your experience.
Remember, the world needs that special gift that only you have. We’re waiting
for you!
Let’s do this,
Pg. 3# E V E R Y T H I N G I S F I G U R E O U TA B L E | everythingisfigureoutable.com
Your Beliefs1. Have you ever heard a voice that said, “This ain’t it. You’re meant for
something more”? What was it trying to tell you? What did you do
when you heard that voice?
2. What’s a belief you have that’s bolstered you and kept you going when
nothing seemed to work out the way you’d hoped?
3. What’s a belief you have that’s harmed you? Where did that belief
come from and how can you either dismiss that harmful belief or
reframe that story in your mind?
Challenges, Excuses & Fear 4. What’s the biggest challenge in your life right now where the
everything is figureoutable philosophy would help? How can you start
applying the everything is figureoutable attitude to this challenge
today? Write it down and commit to change.
“You wouldn’t have the dream if you didn’t already have what it takes to make it happen.”
— M A R I E F O R L E O

5. Out of the 3 excuses—“I don’t have time,” “I don’t have money,” and
“I don’t know where to start”—which one do you find yourself using
most often? Are those excuses really true when you dig deep or is
there fear holding you back? What can you do to work past those
excuses starting now?
6. What’s something you’re afraid to do (or create or become) that’s not
an actual life or death fear? How can you reframe those feelings of
fear and interpret them in a way that helps you?
Going For Your Dreams7. Whose opinion do you value that you shouldn’t? Are you willing to
ignore the voice that keeps you feeling small so your dreams have
space to flourish? What can you do today to set healthy boundaries?
Write it down and commit to having those tough conversations.
8. What do you want more of in your life—love, acceptance, appreciation,
recognition, etc.? What can you do right now to give to others that
which you want to receive? Think big or small. Every action matters.
9. Marie talks about the importance of connecting your dreams to
something larger than yourself. What’s your greater why? What do
you want to change in the world and how does that cause/person/
community fuel and inspire you?
It’s About Progress, Not Perfection10. On the days when you feel like you suck and you’re not the real deal,
what triggers that feeling? Who can you call and what can you do to
quiet that negative inner voice? Make a list and keep it close—tough
Pg. 5# E V E R Y T H I N G I S F I G U R E O U TA B L E | everythingisfigureoutable.com
days will always happen, but they don’t have to stop you.
11. What’s an area of your life where you could cut down on distractions
so you have more time and space to go for your dreams? Smart
phones, social media, email, and meal planning are just a few of the
examples Marie gives. What will you do with the free time you have
when you cut those things out or limit your time on them?
12. Do you have a fixed mindset (the belief that born talent is all
that matters) or a growth mindset (the belief that hard work and
perseverance is how you get ahead)? For the areas in your life where
you have a fixed mindset, what can you do to transform that into a
growth mindset? What will you commit to shifting in your thinking and
in your actions?
Your EIF Moment13. Marie ends the book with stories from everyday people who have used
the everything is figureoutable philosophy to transform their lives.
Have you had an everything is figureoutable moment in your life? How
did you feel during that process? (Want to share your EIF moment
with Marie? Write [email protected], we’d be honored!)
