After all, her 8-week B-School (which costs $2,000) is designed to help people not only create a successful business they love but a life they love as well.At the SheKnows Media #BlogHer18 Creators Summit  Forleo told Ladders you really only need to ask yourself three questions to figure out your purpose.“What makes you come alive?’Forleo says this is the first thing you should ask yourself. “Everyone has that sense when they are either involved in doing certain things or doing something with people and they just feel like they can do it. ”“What pisses you off?”This is a different frame than the first question but you need to ask yourself this. “What makes you go ‘Why is this like this?’ There is some type of emotion that gets triggered,” she said.“What scares the sh-t out of you?”Forleo told Ladders,   “Is there some career or activity like writing, music, starting a company, whatever it is, that the notion of doing it makes you frightened?” If you can find that, you know it is something worth pursuing. That fear is really a sense of intuition.Forleo said in a previous interview, “One practice I have when looking at a situation is to ask myself, ‘Should I move ahead?’ If everything in me starts to feel contracted, if I feel my shoulders coming down, if there’s just an internal “no,” I can feel that that’s not what I should do.“On the other hand, if there’s a sense of expansion, even if it’s subtle, if something in me says, ‘Oh my goodness, this would be great - I’m scared, I don’t know if I can do it, but it would be amazing,’ then I know my intuition is telling me ‘yes.’ There’s always fear. But if you’re silent enough and still enough to listen to your intuition, you’ll always go in the right  direction.”
