  • Hey, it's Marie Forleo and you are watching MarieTV, the place to be if you want to create

  • a business and life you love, and I assume you do because this is Q&A Tuesday, and this

  • Q&A Tuesday, I am tackling two Qs with one A. That's right, two for Tuesday. First

  • question, Sofia, and she writes:

  • "Hi Marie, I've watched every one of your videos and you've inspired me to follow

  • a passion I had long abandoned; illustration. You often talk about the importance of having

  • a mission and doing work that matters, but what if the thing you love to do doesn't

  • directly change the world or solve a problem? I can't say that illustration and telling

  • stories adds value to the world. Is there a way to contribute no matter what kind of

  • work you do?"

  • Now check this out. Carolina writes:

  • "Hi, Marie, I'm a documentary and environmental photographer but I'm having a hard time coming

  • from a place of service when I try to sell and market to my clients. My concern is my

  • business model is all about me. I'm stuck in a rut and have a really difficult time

  • seeing how my products will really help anyone besides me following my dreams. Please give

  • me a momma Maria reality check."

  • Sofia and Carolina, awesome questions. I can't tell you how many times I hear this especially

  • when it comes to artists. So here's the thing that I want you to know -- you make a difference.

  • It doesn't matter who you are or what you do for a living; all forms of expression are

  • valuable. There's no such thing as better value or more value.

  • Doctors aren't better than doll makers, journalists aren't better than jewelry designers

  • and astronauts are not better than artists. Entertainment, art, anything that provides

  • pure pleasure is 100% of value. Just imagine our world without paintings or art or books

  • or movies or comedies or plays or operas; we'd have no freaking culture and we'd

  • be bored out of our brains. Art connects us to our humanity and to each other. It compels

  • us to think and to feel and to love.

  • Think about how much nicer a home is when you've got great art on the walls, or think

  • about how great illustration or a photo helps bring a story to life, or think about times

  • when you've needed a good laugh, or you've been moved by a great piece of art or by a

  • beautiful song. What if those things didn't exist? What if Picasso or Prince said "You

  • know what? This art doesn't really provide value. I should be a homeopathic health coach

  • inside"?

  • When you're learning about business, especially online business, you see so many examples

  • of marketing solutions that it's easy to dismiss the value of art that's not problem

  • solution oriented, but just because you don't market something that clears up acne or makes

  • a dog stop humping legs, doesn't mean you market something any less important. And if

  • you still question what value art has, here's a tweetable from Mr. Picasso himself:

  • "The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls."

  • There you go. Art does solve a problem. It cleans off the dust. Art's like swiffer

  • for your soul. Before we wrap up, there's one more thing. Making money doing something

  • you love, if you're not hurting anyone or cheating anyone, is by definition a service

  • to the world. You're helping the economy and you're adding to the financial flow, plus

  • get this: you're also making a difference to people around you because when you do what

  • you love and you're passionate and you're happy, that is added value.

  • Ok -- Sofia and Karolina, that was my A to your double Q. Thank you so much asking it.

  • Now I want to hear from you. Do you ever doubt the value of what you do? If so, I want to

  • challenge you to tell me at least three specific ways that your work makes a positive impact

  • on others. Don't forget to tell me about it in the comments below.

  • As always, the best discussions happen after the episode over at MarieForleo.com, so go

  • there and leave a comment now. Did you like this video? If so, subscribe and share it

  • with your friends. If you want even more great resources to create a business and life that

  • you love, plus some personal insights from me that I only talk about in e-mail, get your

  • buns over to MarieForleo.com and sign up for e-mail updates.

  • Stay on your game and keep going for your dreams because the world needs that special

  • gift that only you have. Thank you so much for watching and I'll catch you next time

  • on MarieTV.
