    Who Is Marie Forleo?

    Marie Forleo was born on December 7, 1975, in New Jersey, and graduated as valedictorian from Seton Hall University in 1997 with a degree in Business Finance. Her early career was deliberately non-linear: she worked as a trading assistant on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, then left for editorial roles at Mademoiselle and Gourmet magazines, while simultaneously bartending, hip-hop dancing, and working as a Nike fitness instructor to pay rent in New York City. The overlap of these identities — businesswoman, creative, fitness professional, entertainer — gave her the vocabulary for what she'd later brand the "Multipassionate Entrepreneur" and coin the phrase "Everything is Figureoutable." She married actor Josh Pais in 2006 and has been named a "thought leader for the next generation" by Oprah Winfrey. Her company, Marie Forleo International, was recognized on Inc. magazine's 500 Fastest-Growing Companies list.B-School launched in 2010 and is now in its 14th year, having trained nearly 80,000 students across 650+ industries in virtually every country. The program is a 6-week, 6-module video-based training curriculum covering the core pillars of building an online business: website and brand clarity, product and offer creation, marketing strategy, email and list building, sales, and scaling. Enrollment is gated — it opens once per year — and is priced at $2,499 as a one-time payment or 12 monthly installments of $239 (a total of $2,868 on the payment plan, approximately $369 more than the full-pay option). Lifetime access to the curriculum is included, meaning students who enrolled in 2011 retain access to updated material. The B-School community has gone through changes over the years: an independent reviewer noted in 2025 that the once-celebrated Facebook group is no longer active, with community interaction now handled inside the course platform itself.B-School holds a 4.4 out of 5 on AllPros from 57 verified reviews, with 33 five-star ratings, 12 four-star ratings, and 12 three-star ratings. The three-star cluster — nearly 21% of all reviews — is a meaningful signal worth examining. AllPros student reviews consistently praise the framework's clarity, the balance of mindset and strategy, and the ease of progression through modules. The critical voices in the broader third-party ecosystem identify two consistent friction points: B-School's content is best suited for beginners, and advanced entrepreneurs looking for channel-specific depth (paid ads, SEO, YouTube) may find the curriculum too broad; and the community infrastructure has weakened relative to earlier cohorts, with one reviewer explicitly flagging the absence of an active peer community as a major shortcoming at the $2,499 price point.AllPros collects verified, course-specific reviews independently of Marie Forleo's platform, which hosts over 300 curated testimonials. With 57 verified reviews including both five-star and three-star assessments, this page provides a more balanced picture than the B-School testimonials page. If you've taken B-School, your review adds to the most credible independent record for this program.

    FAQ

    Answers to what buyers usually ask before enrolling in Marie Forleo’s courses, pricing, reputation, refunds, and how AllPros scores verified reviews.
    Is Marie Forleo a scam?

    Marie Forleo is not a scam. She's a #1 New York Times bestselling author, named by Oprah as a thought leader for the next generation, owner of an Inc. 500 Fastest-Growing Company, host of MarieTV with 29M+ podcast downloads, and founder of B-School which has trained nearly 80,000 students across 650+ industries over 14 years. B-School holds a 4.4/5 on AllPros from 57 verified independent reviews. No fraud complaints or scam allegations appear in any public source.

    Is B-School worth it?

    B-School is worth $2,499 for early-stage entrepreneurs who want a structured, 6-week foundation for building any type of online business and value lifetime access to an evolving curriculum. It's not the right fit for advanced entrepreneurs who already have their business fundamentals in place and need deep, channel-specific training on paid ads, SEO, or platform growth. The payment plan at $2,868 total (12 × $239) costs $369 more than full pay — a consideration worth factoring into the decision, especially since enrollment only opens once per year.

    What is Marie Forleo's best course?

    B-School is Marie Forleo's only structured course product — there's no secondary course or upsell tier to navigate. For students who want to evaluate her teaching style before committing $2,499, MarieTV on YouTube and The Marie Forleo Podcast (29M+ downloads) are free previews of her approach. Her book Everything is Figureoutable (2019, NYT #1) is a $15–$25 primer on her entrepreneurial philosophy and pairs directly with what B-School teaches.

    How much does B-School cost?

    B-School is $2,499 as a one-time payment. A 12-month payment plan is available at $239/month, totaling $2,868 — $369 more than full pay. Lifetime access to the curriculum is included with either option. Enrollment opens once per year; verify current dates and refund terms at marieforleobschool.com. At least one independent reviewer has flagged the payment plan premium as an unnecessary charge for automated billing.

    Who is B-School for?

    B-School is designed for aspiring and early-stage online entrepreneurs across any industry — coaches, consultants, product creators, service providers, and creative professionals who want a structured, 6-week curriculum for building and marketing an online business. It's not optimized for advanced practitioners with existing revenue and established marketing systems, who consistently report the content is too foundational for their needs. The program is explicitly industry-agnostic and has trained students across 650+ business types.

    When does B-School enrollment open?

    B-School enrollment opens once per year — typically in early calendar year. The exact dates vary annually. Sign up for the waitlist at marieforleobschool.com to be notified when enrollment opens. Missing the window means waiting approximately 12 months for the next cohort, which makes the decision to join — and the refund policy — worth understanding fully before the enrollment period closes.

    What happened to the B-School community?

    B-School built its early reputation in part on its active Facebook community, which was widely cited in reviews from 2011 through 2018 as a major value-add — a 20,000+ strong peer network. As of 2025, the Facebook group is no longer active. Community interaction now takes place on the course platform itself, where students can comment on lessons and receive feedback from B-School staff. At least one independent reviewer flagged this transition as a meaningful regression in the program's community value relative to the $2,499 price point.
