The Most Important Word - Audio Podcast

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

Hard Work & Patience

#QOTD: Has me personally responding to you impacted how you feel about me? Whether it was on Twitter, email or Snapchat.

#AskGaryVee Episode 175: IFTTT App, Buying a Franchise Business & Daymond John Asks a Question

Daymond John, judge on Shark Tank and founder of FUBU just opened a brand new co-working space in NYC called Blueprint + Co. To open the doors he had me join him on stage for a great fireside chat and Q&amp;A. Was so much fun seeing all my NYC peeps stop by and sharing the stage with my good pal Daymond. What an incredible space he's opened. Check this one out for some good ole fashioned heat and flames !!&nbsp;

A Fireside Chat with Shark Tank's Daymond John

I talk a lot about the concept of "the law of attraction" and how it relates to achieving what you want to happen in life - this little snippet talks about what that all really means and how you can relate it to your own life.&nbsp;

What The Law Of Attraction Really Means

There's one way to be good at anything you want to do - just do it. This clip from an interview I did really elaborates on the best ways to become an expert on whatever you want, by doing. Want to be a podcaster? Do it. Want to start a vlog? Do it. Really important info here that everyone needs to hear. &lt;3

Why Becoming A Practitioner Is So Important

This section out of a business meeting I had with Hip Hop artist Racks really shows the value you get in return for giving away your best shit for free - pure exposure. I dive into why free is the gateway to reaching an even broader audience &amp; why it makes up the habits of true winning entrepreneurs.&nbsp;

The Habits of Winning Entrepreneurs / Why You Should Give Away More For Free

This is easily one of my most fire interviews of all time - chopping it up with my man Aubrey Marcus, pushing hard into the reasons that you're not winning right now, and how to fix them. Probably the largest topic I touch in this one is the mentality behind dropping a loser friend to pick up a new one - this can push positivity, work ethic ... whatever u need it to, just listen &lt;3

Drop One Loser Friend | Interview on Aubrey Marcus' AMP Podcast

Artificial intelligence (AI), artificial general intelligence (AGI), and artificial super intelligence (ASI) are obviously really hot topics right now, but I think there’s a big lack of clarity in the system... I usually hear people mention that AI is going to take our jobs or that it will destroy our economy and force us to use a Universal Basic Income (UBI) as a result, when in actuality, I think it’s going to be a tool that will allow us to become faster and focus on more important tasks. In the same way that people thought tractors would get rid of the jobs of farmers, we actually just got faster and they allowed us to achieve more.

Chain XChange Fireside Chat

This is a huge mashup, really explaining what I think about the bullshit that is "passive income" and how it relates to what you THINK it is. "Passive income" comes in a few forms, which I go further into in this one, expanding on what "passive income" really takes form as - this is a FIRE on to listen to today, hope u love it &lt;3&nbsp;

Why "Passive Income" is Bullshit

Really enjoyed writing this article about what I did in my late 20's and how I felt it was a pivotal part of my life - reflecting on what I did and what I'd do differently, but also talking about my points of view on what your options are in your late 20's.

Advice For Your Late 20's | Raw Audio

These four fire original films are the perfect thing to get you going this Monday - Focused around being happy, the change of focus in attention &amp; why ambition &amp; drive are what you need to have in anything you're doing, there's a little bit here for everyone &lt;3

4 Fire Original Rants To Get Your Day Going | #MondayMotivation

SUPER FIRED UP for this #askgaryvee, with one of my favorite people in the world, Michael Ovitz, co-founder of one of the largest talent agencies in the world, Creative Artists Agency (CAA). Michael stops by to talk his new book, tell a few stories about his time at CAA and take calls from the audience.&nbsp; &nbsp; Check out Michael's Book, "Who Is Michael Ovitz?" here:&nbsp;https://www.amazon.com/Who-Michael-Ovitz-Memoir/dp/0753553368

#AskGaryVee 293 with Michael Ovitz

This is a really fire mashup revolving around balancing your life &amp; sleep that a lot of you need to hear ... hustling doesn't necessarily mean that you're working 22 hours a day without sleeping - I think sleep is one of the most important things - it matters what you're doing doing those 16 hours that you're awake. I also talk about how I think about "work/life" balance and my methods for keeping what I see as balance.

My Thoughts Around Work/Life Balance & Sleep | #GaryVeeMashup

I really wanted to share this talk about trusting employees, giving them trust and then learning how they operate from there rather than the traditional "trust is earned" stance. Also, for anyone that is confused, because I'm a very alpha character and I believe that the new "man" is growing in emotional intelligence and "soft skills". Kindness, empathy, and gratitude, which were once considered "soft" are now becoming cool.

The Hard Truth About Managing People | A Quick Take

The successful mindset of an entrepreneur comes down to not complaining or dwelling. I'm hearing so many people speak about their massive ambitions but simultaneously talk about how they don't work on the weekends or that they go home everyday at 6:00 PM, and then they have the audacity to complain that the results aren't coming fast enough. You NEED to be patient and understand that the only reason you want the results to come quickly is because you're trying to cover an insecurity and prove it to someone... Please, stay in your own head and put in the work. You can't sit down on the couch, think about a million dollars, and then expect to find a million dollars in your bank account. It just doesn't work like that... you have to put in the work.

The Advice Successful People Won't Give You

FIRED UP for this keynote I did in the DC area, really honing in on why the internet is such a game changer for modern businesses &amp; entrepreneurship - expanding into what it's like being an entrepreneur during the time that entrepreneurship got cool (now) and how and why it's changed so much over the last 40 years. I also talk directly to the people that think they can't make $100,000 a year, and why I really believe it's so easy now to accomplish this goal.&nbsp;
