The Most Important Word - Audio Podcast

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

Any experienced multifamily investor will tell you that its not easy starting out as a first time investor.  One of the main reasons for this is experience and credibility.  In this podcast, we've developed the top 28 questions that you should ask you real estate brokers.  Why did we do this?

1. Its going to give you credibility (you will sound like you know what you're talking about...aka fake it till you make it).
2. You need to know this stuff.
3. Be cool and these questions can help build rapport with the brokers.

Task - listen to this podcast and utilize these questions the next time you visit a property with a broker. Bring a notebook and casually ask them as you tour the property. You don't want to bombard someone with all of these at once.  

Result - you will learn a lot about the broker and hopefully even more about your market.  

How To Buy Your First Twenty-Five Unit Apartment Complex

This one was a blast. Alan Stein is a vet in the performance coach space and just a stand-up dude. Loved this interview because we talked about life and business through the lens of sports which for those that know me, know I love so much !!&nbsp;

An Interview: Pure Sweat Basketball Podcast w/ Alan Stein

Self-esteem is the game, folks, and thankfully for me I was blessed with a mother who drilled that confidence in me from a very early age. It's time for us to stop focusing on what we perceive as our weaknesses or the fear of letting those around us down. At the end of the day, for all we know, there's only one shot at this, and I implore you to live a life that will lead to no regrets. It's definitely not easy but it's a north star we should all aspire to work towards.&nbsp;

6-Minutes on How to Be More Confident

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;

Let's Make Positivity Louder

A little while ago I got the chance to sit down with my man Chase Jarvis and talk about how to stand out when there’s so much chatter happening around you. Thumbstopping power is key right now. You need to be able to produce content that provides enough value that a consumer stops and watches your content instead of blowing right past it. Thinking you’re going to drive results within 90 days just isn’t going to happen. Deploying patience and keeping consistent, even if that consistency is in change is what you NEED to be doing if you’re trying to become successful. Give this one a listen and stick to it. DM me and let me know what you thought.&nbsp;:) :)

An Interview: Get Off Your Ass & Get Noticed With Chase Jarvis

This clip from my Udemy course is key. Once you’re able to identify and combine both your passion AND strength, you’re setting yourself up to be successful. Combining my passion for wine and strength in building businesses led to the success of Wine Library and creation of VaynerMedia. Recognizing what your strengths &amp; weaknesses are, and then reaching down into your DNA to find out exactly what and how you’re going to execute on those will without doubt push you towards success. Just because you’re an excellent marketer doesn’t mean you’re the best at creating every single video or piece of content. Look at what you’re best at and execute on them, and find someone that complements you to complete the pie.&nbsp; Listen deep to these lessons, learn them, and enjoy them!!

How To Execute On Your Strengths and Passions

I'd love if you gave this one a listen, because it's SUPER important. Being self aware is something I truly believe you need to embrace and find if you want to be as successful as possible. Knowing both your strengths and weaknesses will help you get way ahead of any blockers and hiccups that come your way and there's a lot of work, time and thought that goes into figuring out yourself. Take this one to heart and embrace it. Thanks for giving it a listen &lt;3

A Compilation: Why SELF AWARENESS Is The Most Important Thing

Coming at you all straight from the plane back from my recent trip with Pencils of Promise in Ghana. Experiencing an entire different world &amp; perspective while Planet of the Apps launched completely fired my mind up; pulling from two complete&nbsp;opposites. I really focus in here on what one of the most important qualities you can have to show people your true self; your smile.&nbsp;I'd love if you gave this one a deep listen. &lt;3 &lt;3&nbsp;

EXCLUSIVE: What's the ROI Of A Smile?

This rant is for every single person that thinks they're "too old to start over", or that they're stuck in a job they hate instead of pursuing what they really want to do. At 31 I was a wine merchant buying and selling wine, and now I'm leading Vaynermedia. The INTERNET is what's enabling you to do a complete 180 and aim for what you really want. It doesn't matter if you're 25, 26 or even 54. This 100 percent applies to you, and you NEED to hear this one. Hit me up on twitter and let me know you heard this and understood !!&nbsp;

A Rant: YOU HAVE TIME - Advice For Starting Over

Absolutely loved being on my man Lewis Howes' show to chat about everything that comes with success and entrepreneurship. We dove right into dealing with an extreme work life balance situation, why you need to be leveraging what you know to win in life, and Lewis and I talk about how we utilize current attention trends to produce results. Love this one, and hope you do too :)

An Interview: Gary Vaynerchuk on Leveraging Your Strengths to Win - with Lewis Howes

This is the one. I may have been out for August, but this interview I did with the Haste and Hustle crew brought straight fire back to me. Loved diving into the difference between what I consider macro failures and micro failures, and stretching one of my top beliefs - that you need to make sure you're doing what YOU want. Focusing on doing things with yourself in mind is going to get you so far ahead, because it lets you leave the losers in the dust. It doesn't matter what happened in the past, only what you're gonna do about it. &lt;3&nbsp;
