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

A special Father's Day edition of the art of Manliness Podcast. Retired Navy SEAL Eric Davis talks to us about his book Raising Men: Lessons Navy SEALs Learned from Their Training and Taught Their Sons. We discuss lessons from SEAL training on teaching your kids personal responsibility, mental toughness, and leadership. 

#209: Raising Men: What Navy SEALs Teach Their Sons

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

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.

really think this clip from #askgaryvee with Tony Robbins can bring a ton of value to you -&nbsp; you hear Tony and I talk about an ideal we have in common, that we both view the key to winning financially in life as being humble and not buying "dumb shit"... This is supported by one of my favorite original films, really breaking down why patience is the game in long term growth.
