[Bonus Track] Part of The Equation

A Keynote: Entrepreneurship Can't Be Taught

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

Hard Work & Patience

Rick Ross - Bel Air

In the last sixteen months of my life, I've changed something major about myself: I've started being healthy.

A year and a half ago, I was eating like crap, not working out, and generally feeling awful. It was a tough life, and I realized quickly that I couldn't sustain a life like that. It was impossible. So I hired a trainer to force me to be better. I made an enormous lifestyle shift, and I am so happy I did.

But it made me realize something about the current state of fitness entrepreneurs. And I want to shine a light on it.

Everybody defaults to what comes easy to them. That should be obvious. But greatness comes from adversity; it comes from looking a challenge directly in the eye and having the fortitude to step up and go after it.

This is what's going on with the fitness want-repreneur world right now.

Everyone is going for what is easy. And that isn't going to pan out if they are serious about becoming a business person. Just like I knew being a great business person wouldn't pan out if I didn't get healthy.

Fitness entrepreneurs want to do the minimal work and still expect a huge return. It's easy for fitness entrepreneurs to do the push ups, to do the squats and deadlifts because that is exactly what got them to where they are now. They started in fitness and now they want to make money just by having those guns or that body. They default into what is easy without recognizing what is hard: running an actual business.

You know what was hard for me? Waking up early. Not eating what I wanted to eat. Powering through workouts. Yet it was easy to build 50M dollar businesses.

I wanted to pass off getting up and running. I wanted to pass off lifting, squatting, stretching. I didn't want to do it. But I had no problem working eighteen hours a day, taking meeting after meeting, and putting in the actual work.

Fitness "entrepreneurs" want to pass on replying to tweets all day to get the word out. They want to pass off the marketing. They want to pass off working hard to create a great interesting post, or doing a bunch of podcasts to get a larger audience. They want to go straight for the mirror selfie so you can get a bunch of Instagram likes, then call that their "business".

Well guess what? It's not good enough.

I have sympathy for how long it can take for something to come together in a big way. I get thousands and thousands of emails a year from people saying they've been working for months at something and they aren't seeing results. It can be disheartening. In a weird way, working out has shown me that more than anything else. I've been working out for sixteen months now and I'm happy, but if you told me sixteen months ago that this what I would have by now, I might say "Ehhhh…"

But the reverse is far worse.

That's why I say to you: just start the work now. Do it. Work hard. Be diligent. Do not let up. You have the body. You have the chops. You did all that. Now get to the business side of things and grow that muscle too.

A short: The Current State Of Fitness Entrepreneurs

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

Loved having sports marketing legend and good friend Brandon Steiner stop by the #AskGaryVee show this past week.&nbsp;Brandon built a one of a kind business and is one of the few that were able to partner up with the New York Yankees (and claims to be the inventor of the Everything Bagel). This guy moves just as fast as I do and is absolutely killing it. The stories and call-in questions in here are complete fire - I know you'll love it. ;)&nbsp;

#AskGaryVee 261 | BRANDON STEINER, THE INVENTOR OF THE EVERYTHING BAGEL & THE BEST BLOGGING PLATFORM

It's a classic case of quality vs quantity, mixed with self-awareness. Maybe you ARE focused on having the most followers, and that's fine, but my goal here isn't numbers - it's impact. Hope you take this one to heart &lt;3

A Rant: I Don't Want The Most Followers, I Want The Largest Impact & Legacy

When you're at your lowest, or off your high peak, or tripped up and made a mistake there's no other option than to get back up on your horse and go - and that's one of the key lessons off this FIRE IG live I did in Aspen, CO last week. When, and if that setback happens, you've gotta re evaluate and really stop being fancy. Getting accustomed to a certain lifestyle is easy, and letting go of it isn't. The message here is clear as crystal and I hope you love it ;)&nbsp;

A Rant: Instilling Confidence

Sometimes you need a big dose of tactical knowledge to blast straight into your weekend hustle. From Instagram strategies and tactics straight to cold calling, and influencer marketing these are some of my favorite tips to get fired up. &lt;3

My Top 5 Tactical Tips For Marketing Businesses

It's all about finding a way to tell your story while finding a way to respect your users' time. Just remember that this time around it's more about CONTEXT than CONTENT. This can boil down to creating platform specific content, or simply respecting and engaging the way that a specific platform requires. This is one of my favorite keynotes, hope you enjoy ;)&nbsp;

Stop Storytelling Like It's 2007 | A Keynote: 99U

So psyched to be able to share these quick chats around my thoughts on business that I have, chatting with my team writer Colin Campbell. Here I expand on my thoughts behind storytelling on social media - why it's key to be genuine and what good storytelling and engagement leads to, touching on where the best places to spend ad money on, focusing on ROI. Hope this one brings some massive value to you &lt;3&nbsp;

A Rant: How To Tell A Story On Social Media

I'm pumped to be able to continue to bring these quick little chats that I have with Colin, the writer on my team. In these I dive into the thinking behind two of the articles that we wrote together and expand on just how I make decisions &amp; talk about what I really believe makes a winner a winner. Do you like these fast little chats? Hit me up on Twitter and let me know!&nbsp;

Why Winners Win & How I Make Decisions | Two Saturday Rants

Test, learn, produce, document, just fucking DO! This is one of my favorite rants, because it puts every single thing that I talk about into one single message. There's no bullshit stopping you from taking that step into doing what you want to do. It just takes the effort. &lt;3

A Saturday Rant: 5 Minutes To Do

Influencer marketing is one of the cheapest attention arbitrages right now, and I truly believe that it's one of the most effective ways of advertising a brand right now as well, along with Facebook ads. Since influencers have such a wide reach &amp; there are many up and coming people, they're able to genuinely and effectively present a product or service in a way that affects the audience consuming their content. Here's a few of my thoughts around why you should be utilizing this strategy, and examples of how I'd utilize it in difference scenarios.&nbsp;

Top 5 Thoughts On Influencer Marketing

What’s your excuse for not making millions? My friend Randall Pich was raised by his mom in extreme poverty, in one of the most dangerous parts of the country. Now he’s the very wealthy founder of multiple brands, most notably Live Fit Apparel, a top social media influencer, and a model for how to build an enthusiastic following around an in-demand brand. In this episode, we talk about the connections between creativity and business, and how these things apply to the art of making money.

Creativity, Conflict, and the Art of Making Millions ft. Randall Pich, with Andy Frisella - MFCEO197

This clip elaborates on my idea of subtle attention hacking with the goal of&nbsp;acquisition. I dive into a few recent examples, like why my Natty Light sweater choice while courtside at the Knicks game was a good idea and how it got me social attention and influence without having to do any action, as well as the reasoning behind putting my agency cards up for a few minutes before each talk I do. Some good insights here !!

A Rant: Hacking Attention For Acquisition

You know how many people who fully committed themselves to becoming a billionaire AT LEAST ended up becoming a millionaire or multi-millionaire? Every one of them.&nbsp; But most people don't get it. Most people still set "small realistic goals." You can't be like that if you want the kind of life that people would kill for.&nbsp; You have to redefine what's "realistic" and learn to visualize what's possible, which is every f*cking thing you can dream up. So set massive f*cking goals!

Why Your Goals Should Embarrass You, with Andy Frisella - MFCEO198

Many of you who listen to my content have heard me talk about what my thoughts are around going to college and the after college experience once you've attended. Here, I talk about my experiences, my thoughts, my wishes and what I think college is both good and not good for. This different for everyone, but there's something here that anyone can and should take away. Hope you enjoy, have a great weekend &lt;3&nbsp;

5 Of My Thoughts On College

You can develop the same drive for success as The Greatest of All Time…elite athletes like Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, and even Michael Jordan.&nbsp; There is zero reason you can’t be a Hall of Fame level performer in everything you do in life. That’s what my friend Tim Grover says, and he should know. He is the one of the most revered mental toughness and performance coaches in history. Those guys I just mentioned? They chose to work with him.&nbsp; In this episode, Tim and I talk about how YOU can be like them.

Insanity, Intensity, and Becoming a Peak Performer ft. Tim S. Grover, with Andy Frisella - MFCEO199

This rant is the absolute definition of what I mean when I say that I think long term - and you should too. When you stop worrying about what your bank account will look like in 1 or 3 or 7 years, you start moving yourself forward to be massively successful in the long term. Start looking at every single move you make as an impact to your legacy, and decide whether it'll impact positively or negatively. It's your choice, it's your time in the end game. Get it? Hope you enjoy &lt;3
