The Most Important Word - Audio Podcast

[Bonus Track] Part of The Equation

What would you say is the the biggest obstacle to your success right now? A lack of time? Maybe a lack of capital? Or maybe a lack of good employees?

Nope. All wrong.

The biggest obstacle to success is a lack of optimism.

I’ll back up.

The fact that people go straight to any other answer is the problem in itself. Money and time are, of course, difficulties. When I started WineLibrary, I had time but we didn’t necessarily have the money. So it took more time. Today, I have the money, but boy do I not have the time. Fact is, though, that neither should ever be an excuse. They weren’t for me, and they shouldn’t be for you.

This is something I really need everyone to understand. No one should ever point to time or money as an obstacle. They are firmly in the excuses column, and I have no patience for that. I will never make an excuse. Everything that is a problem with me, everything I don’t achieve and everything wrong with VaynerMedia is my fault. I succumb to that, I respect that, and that’s how I think it should be. No excuses. Even more so, you shouldn’t let yourself have patience for excuses either. Train yourself to believe this, and you will see amazing results. No joke. There will always be problems, and you need to get out of the mindset that they are obstacles because you should already assume they will be there. They’re just part of the path, my friend.

Because guess what? There are about a million other things that could stop success in it’s tracks. The health and well being of your family. The world is changing. The media, bad coverage of you. I’m a human being, and I always wonder what would happen if I say the wrong thing. Any of these things could happen, but they are the same thing: excuses.

There are a million reasons why not, but there is one good reason why, which is this: you just have to persevere.
No matter what happens, it’s the way it is, and you have to keep going. And that is where the optimism lives. If you truly believe that you can do it no matter what, you’ve got this. The only reason you might bring up any of the previous excuses we talked about is because you DON’T believe, right? Do not let that kind of thinking ever get in the way.

So. You can pick time. You can pick money. Pick any one or two things that you think stop you from winning your game. But the truth is there are a million reasons. Get thicker skin. Build up your self esteem. To be able to get through, you need to have optimism. Every day is hard, and all you have to fight it in the end is yourself.

The Straightest Road To Success

There is something that is rarely talked about in the business world and I want to start building more attention for it.

That thing is self-awareness.

I’m upset that the narrative these days is that everyone needs to be number one, own a company, be in charge. A lot of people are going to lose that way.

Self-awareness allows people to recognize what things they do best so they can then go hard on those aspects of their life. It also helps you accept your weaknesses.

What works for one person doesn’t work for everyone. I want people to learn to be at peace with themselves, to understand what they can offer, because everyone’s got something. The key, however, is learning how to find it.

Self-awareness can help you do that.

Self-awareness is being able to accept your weaknesses while focusing all of your attention on your strengths.

The moment you decide to accept your shortcomings and bet entirely on your strengths, things will change. Trust me.

The Importance of Self-Awareness

Time to rise and grind. GaryVee gets you ready for your day like only he can.

ONE LIFE

This message COULD NOT&nbsp;be more important to me .. In this day and age where the negative minority is so much louder than those that are actually happy with their lives, we need to take it upon ourselves to spread positive vibes. Everything we're told, everything we're sold, is based on this lie that we all need to be fixed in one way or another and that's just not true. It's time to build on our strengths, focus on our perspective, and bring out in others the positivity that just doesn't get highlighted enough. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE. It's time !!&nbsp;

On Episode 242 of the #AskGaryVee call-in show the LEGENDARY Tony Robbins stops by and co-hosts with me !! After a quick summary of Tony’s new book ‘UNSHAKEABLE,' we answer questions about how Tony and I find gratitude in our lives, the importance of&nbsp;diversifying our investments, and he 80/20 rule behind focusing on what's important in business while also flirting with new ideas as an entrepreneur. THIS ONE IS FIRE !!&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

#AskGaryVee 242 | Tony Robbins, Unshakeable, Gratitude & Focusing on Your Steak

Guys - this might be the most important clip from any of my content TO-DATE. You're going to see it all over my channels today but the podcast listeners are first to get it !! This clip was taken from #AGV 244 where Taylor, a 22 year-old girl called in to the show. This conversation really struck a cord with me and I'm sure it comes through in this audio. Her actions just weren't mapping her desire and I know that her thought process is the same mentality that so many youngins have and it's just not right. I hold ZERO punches in this one and I've love for you to have a listen. Patience is the game, my friends. There's just no way around it.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

The Ultimate Advice for Every 22 Year-Old

Sonik - Waste No Time

This is what it’s all about. Whether you’re growing a brand or starting a new company, there’s only one thing in your absolute control: WORK. Practice it. Preach it. Do whatever you gotta do because it’s the single most important thing in moving forward. Sleep has nothing to do with it. Sleep as much as you can as long as you're maximizing the hours that you're awake. There’s no success without sucking it up, putting in the time and pushing yourself harder to get where you want to be. Get hyped, and get ready to make it happen !! You're in full control.

Work Harder: A Compilation

This mashup of fire motivation and inspiration comes from a contest my team had a few weeks back, where they all created mashups for Facebook. Each one of these fire clips has its own theme, whether it's to challenge yourself, live your life to the absolute fullest, tripling down on what you're good at, or making sure that you're not taking what's going on around you for granted to stand out from society. Hope you guys enjoy this, and hit me up on Twitter to tell me what you thought &lt;3

A Mashup: 5 Motivational Clips For Your Sunday

If you don't love what you're doing, change it. It's not all about the money &amp; fame - but if you're spending every single day unhappy because you hate your job, then you need to start turning that around. Check out the full clips from this mashup here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZAVroBYLIc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gI-BU_7KfHc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ytw4Smz5k7c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qo3TmwD9JU0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_j0sbRCbWJI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyreE99h608 &nbsp;

A Mashup: Finding Your Motivation & Passion

It's nothing but a truth that once you start hanging out around people that are positive, confident and yearning for success that it'll affect you by association, just like if you're hanging out around people that complain all the time, you'll start falling into that hole. This mashup is about auditing your life, your circle and your relationships with people close to you to decide how adjusting those relationships can influence your life. Hope this one hits home for you &lt;3&nbsp;

Monday Motivation: Audit Your Inner Circle

It may not seem like it, but August is one of the most important months for an entrepreneur. Everyone else is sleeping or on vacation and just simply not on their A-Game. Now's the time to prepare. Now's the time to get your 4th quarter hustle up and running. &lt;3
