Today’s episode is a keynote I gave at the Gauvreau Event in early April, where I share my insights around life and businesses. Finding your balance between saving for a rainy day and heavily investing in your business is a vital to an entrepreneur. While, valuing family over entrepreneurial success and fortune is vital to your happiness. Hoping this podcast brings some value and perspective to you in a post-covid world that can be quite hectic. Enjoy! Let me know what you thought.

Thanks for watching!

Here's what i will tell you, i believe, in being adequate or solid in most things and then figuring out what your three to four superpowers are and become insane in them. You've got your perspective. I just want to be happy. Don't you want to be happy you're in you're live great to hear you well great great to be here.

I was saying thank you so much for the kind intro and i'm so excited to uh to jam and hope everybody who's watching on the other side is healthy and happy, and thanks for having me absolutely so, gary we've had questions coming through today and listen you've. Inspired me, i know you've inspired and touched the lives of so many entrepreneurs so grateful to have you. I have a question. I'd love to kick off to you before i start getting into the group yeah.

So let me hit you with this. So we've been dealing. Obviously, with the global pandemic, obviously there's been stress and anxiety and business transition, so many different things. Some have been positive and some have been negative, but our team's been working closely with our clients to talk about cash resources and how to maximize the cash that they have available to them.

I actually heard you speak about this at the jobber event. A couple weeks ago, which was super cool, i would love to hear your thoughts on why individuals and businesses should maximize their cash resources right now. Well, i think you know i'd love to get the context of how you're thinking about cash resources right, because i think there's so many different ways to play like, for example, i'm going to say something right now that i almost want nobody to follow, and i mean This i, for example, besides putting a little nest egg away in cash for like the most rainy of rainy of rainy days. I, like the game of entrepreneurship and business so much and feel confident in it that most of the things i do are either a heavily investing in my own businesses, more employees, more resources, more offices or extremely high risk, investing nfts.

You know um sports cards. You know so one of the reasons that i actually don't talk a lot about financial advice, even though knock on what i've done well is, i think my particular game is very unique to me right. You know how people are really good at expect. Let's use your background, you know i have a feeling.

Hiking big mountains is a good workout, but the reason that a lot of people don't come out and say that's the thing you should do is most people will die climbing that mountain. So i'd love to get clarification, because i want to give good advice to the masses. The way i do things is safety net. You know a little little actual cash sitting in a bucket and then offense, because i i'll tell you why - and this makes me very unique - i've come to learn in my older age.

I'm not scared to go backwards. I'm not scared to be forced to sell my home and rent. I'm not scared to fly commercial instead of first class. I'm not scared to go through an 18-month period where people ridicule me.
For you know your friends saying to you: oh you love that gary vee guy. What about the fact that he just lost all like i'm such in a cocoon that there's a level of lack of fear that allows for higher risk? Now i want to make sure everybody hears this. I am the furthest thing from uh loose ridiculous, high, crazy risk. I look risky when i put all my money into facebook and twitter all my financial advisors lost their mind.

I knew right yeah as i navigate through the nft space. 98 of nft projects are gon na go to zero, but i put almost all my money into punks and yesterday christie's announced that they're doing a punk suction and, like i know what i'm doing so before you know forget about you forget about me. Everybody on the other side here you first know yourself: this is a game of self-awareness and then you filter good advice. I i caught the tail end of your last thing.

I said i got ta give this guy some credit that raise your price uh advice is such a good one, because it always works out, because the downside is people say no and nothing bad happened, and the upside is 86 of the people that are going to Do it that just hurt you all of them are going to get some some level of increase it's one of these amazing games of perception, so i know i've gone long-winded because i love to give some context but clear it up for me. If so, i can definitely answer a question, but the way i think about things is actually opposite sides very, very safe. I'm stunned by how many people go fully into debt, have no cash reserves if everything goes to don't have some money to at least rent an apartment and live life, and on the flip side i go with my strengths. I understand nfts better than i understand real estate.

Think about that for a minute. I understand how to invest in nfts right this minute, better than i know how to invest in real estate. I that probably puts me in a group of like 13 people on earth, because even the other people that know how to do nfts, probably no real estate enough, like so you've, got to know yourself, but go ahead. My friend totally so when we're talking about this we're talking about business owners and we're talking about that safety net, like you just said, because from my perspective and i'd love your take on this - that over the next 12 months, there's gon na be so much change.

There's going to be retirement, people closing their doors. If you have the safety net and you have the cash resources you can go all in on you as an entrepreneur and really take over some market share right. So that's what i was thinking about. Let me, let me tell you why you're right about that, but let me tell you why my answer is a lit was a little different and i think we're going to combine the two you're right.

I do think that incredible fortunes are about to be built because a lot of weird stuff's about to happen. I also know that here we are given some advice and people look at us and then go and do something that feels uncomfortable because like well. This is my time: i've been playing it safe and look at these two right and then i know a geopolitical climate thing happens. China invades india, america decides to declare war uh, there's a terrorist attack at the highest levels in america.
First one in 20 years, um. There's a cyber attack on amazon cloud and every like there's these such big events that are out of your and i's purview that if the timing is wrong and people overextend themselves in a way that they can't go to zero, which is financial and emotional, then they're Dead and then we gave bad advice so notice. What i did, if you listen to my answer, have a have a little cash in case everything goes to zero, so you can rent and and buy clothes and eat food. So a bigger one right, the bigger one is: can you deal with the ridicule if you lose my biggest problem with the? What i know in my soul is that 97 of the people on this call right now, this video, this conference, wouldn't do well if their sister made fun of them, saying you thought you were a big shot, see you're just like me or their mom or their Girlfriend or their boyfriend or and that's the game, that's where my content has evolved, because i didn't understand why this was all easy for me.

It was that part, it's not that i'm smarter or better. It's that i have an incredible relationship with outside validation aka. I have no need totally yeah no, and i can completely appreciate that and for my advice with any of our entrepreneurs that we work with it's always to keep that safety net and always to make sure that we have that. So don't don't overextend yourself by any stretch, but knowing that so many things are going to change.

If you can find the right areas to invest right now, you're probably going to have a really big impact and make a lot of change. There's going to be an incredible, and i mean incredible amount of opportunity, because in a year the whole world's going to be different because we're going to be coming back and all the rules changed no more stimulus checks. People have learned how to do business on zoom college doesn't look like the same value. Prop relationships have changed, nuances have changed.

Buying behaviors have changed how people find out about things have changed, things have changed yeah things have definitely and will continue to change right. Yes, but this was big brother right - the things that i've been living through for the last 20 years have been gradual, gradual, gradual, do you know many people that are 55 to 65, that were super tech, illiterate and didn't want to were forced to learn and now Love it that's a consumer behavior shift but totally, and they had no other choice if they wanted to communicate with people or have interaction right. I know that that worked for us. It extended our boundaries.
We could serve everywhere, correct, correct. Think about you know the way i travel now, i'm not gon na go to the same. You know um, you know, meetings which means i'm not gon na be in colorado, which is gon na, have a negative impact on the hotel business like like you know now i'll still travel a bunch, but it's gon na be a mix and that's a big change. So change uh, so i want to move on to more questions, because i want to get as many answers as we can out of you gary.

While we have the time uh you've said that not every day is easy in being in business. I'm sure we can all relate to that, especially in 2020, but i would love to hear what it is that you do to cope and get through those tough days when you do have them gratitude perspective. You know not caring about money over the health of the people. You love old, school grandparents.

You know, i'm just too grateful for what i have to be sad about what i don't have or what i just lost in the short term in business. My relationship with business is extraordinary. I i, i don't think most people are going to believe what i'm about to say, but when i die, i hope that they can take your dna and tell the truth of someone. I i dream about modern technologies um.

I i desperately don't care about the money yeah, it's very easy to deal with bad stuff when you when you - because this is what i play my friend, i play the. What if this thing didn't go bad? Actually, my business doubled, but on the way to go sign the paperwork that doubled my business or the client called me and said: we've, given you all the business that the next phone call was. My mother had a heart attack and i'm going extreme, but i'm just telling you the truth of how i deal with it. You ask the question: i'm giving you the real answer.

Absolutely it's perspective like. I can't care enough about it. If the people i love are healthy today i mean it. My kryptonite is the health and well-being of my family totally and i think we're all in there and i know - and i don't but i, but i think people don't mean it.

I'm being honest with you, yeah, like i think everyone says it, but i watch my whole life. I'm you know i'm 45. Now i've been in the game a long time like because i did it right from the beginning as a kid people don't act like that. Yeah they say it, but do they really mean it, because if they meant it, they wouldn't overreact and get so emotional and hit the bottle drinking or too many people's affirmation is around how much money they make totally not.

You know, ideally, there's more right. There's definitely more to life than this now listen and i love it. Listen don't get it wrong. I'm not foofy foofy gene like out of a genie out of a bottle here, i'm not poofy.

I'm an entrepreneur, i'm trying to kill every i'm trying to win the game, i'm trying to do it. I love it. I love the game, but it's a game totally and so like i'm, that kind of person that plays basketball to kill. But i know it's just a game and when it's over how's your family, this and that and that's how i treat business so speaking of games.
So i woke up last night - or i guess this morning at 3 30 excited, but it was to figure out what question i wanted to ask you today. I've got a bunch and i know there's a bunch from the crowd. My question was: we just went through identifying goals, how to make them smart, specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, timely and i woke up thinking gary vee has got a goal that is to buy the new york jets. I've got to know is that, following that sort of principle, is it attainable? Is it timely? When is that time gon na happen for you gary? I can't wait to pop the champagne.

For you. One of the great misnomers about me is that my goal is to try to buy the new york jets more than it is to buy the jets, and let me explain what i mean by that. So, what's going on with that, i think i'm going to do it brother. I think i'm going to pull it off.

Of course you are, of course you know um now, listen! Even if i mask that extreme wealth, which is a very difficult task. There's the serendipity of them selling it at the time that i'm liquid enough to do this, so the math is actually incredibly against me, but i believe it, but my happiness comes from the striving to do it. The process, the strategic chess moves to get there much much more than actually. I would actually argue that the day i buy the new york jets is the day that i'm most unhappy because the thrill of the hunt it's kind of like vacations.

I i love vacationing. I love sleeping and vacationing. I think people think of me as this one. You know i need balance like everybody else.

I just love my thing so much that it makes it seem like i'm always you know, but man do. I love a good vacation and when the week up to the vacation brother, i'm losing my mind, i'm so into it. I'm so excited anticipation. The second plane lands.

I start to get a little depressed because i know i'm on the other side of the anticipation, but that's the on that's the the entrepreneurial vision of attaining a goal. As soon as you pass it, you go well now, what the hell am i going to do right, it's deflating, so, ultimately, you know buying the jets is going to be something you're going to track for a long time and then once you do it, maybe it'll Be buying another, maybe a basketball, franchise. Gary, i think for me, then it's going to be because i'm going to be an older man because i'm playing it long so i'll, probably not older. Actually, my one of my 45, you know i'd love to think i can get it by 65.

I hope the next 20 years are compounding um. Then i'm going to focus on winning a super bowl brother, because that's why i want to buy that. I'm sick and tired of not having one yeah winners create winners. Absolutely so listen! I've got another question here.
Uh i've heard you say that if you fight against technology, you will lose what technology should we be investing in right now, you should definitely get in in understanding around nfts, because it will affect all your businesses. Now that doesn't mean go, buy the collectibles and the art on nfts, but the what's called the ledger: the blockchain smart contracts. This is something people need to know. Everybody here should spend 20 hours of reading or watching youtube videos or listening to clubhouse, get educated.

Don't get caught up in the gold rush, it's going to be just like 99 2000 internet internet internet, and what did most people do? They bought internet stocks, they bought them at 60, they went to 200, they thought they were geniuses and then, literally literally in two weeks, they all went to a dollar. Why? Because everything was too frothy on the hype, it wasn't practical and both were right. It was too frothy and that's why it shouldn't want to a dollar, but the internet was the biggest technology change of our society in a long time same with nfts non-fungible tokens built on the blockchain, often on blockchains, like ethereum, but others flow. Others are the biggest shift in our universe in a long long time, and they people will do their mortgages on it.

They'll do their book releases on it. Your your next book is going to be an nft that comes with the book. It's coming, i'm telling you it's coming. I know most of the people, don't even know what i'm talking about right now, that's the one to not bet against.

I'm i'm very bullish on it. I believe in it. But as you can see, i gave you the caveats of where there's going to be some beanie babies like activities in the short term, but in the long term there's going to be some real business opportunities. Absolutely so, let's talk about social media like i never see anybody post as much as you, it's incredible, you're inspiring to so many people.

What's the advice to the business owner who maybe isn't doing any regular posts on social media? What is it that they're missing out on opportunity? It's not like a necessity you're missing out on opportunity, not necessity you're, just leaving business growth on the table. So what would be you know, let's say two things that each business owner should do with social media tomorrow to optimize this opportunity. One is very macro: one's very micro, i'll start with micro. Everybody here watching this right now should be posting two original pieces of content on linkedin every day.

Linkedin is a gold mine right now with organic reach. You don't even have to pay for the ads, it reaches people, and everybody in this business community can really benefit from it, and it's kind of like facebook was in 2012.. It's a gold mine of organic reach. Organic reach for everybody's understanding means when you just post, and just people see it you don't have to pay for it.
Some of you here who did well with facebook pages, know exactly what i'm talking about seven years ago, you post hundreds of thousands today, thousands, it's not as good. You have to spend money now to get more. That's not bad! That facebook did that that's called supply and demand. There's more ads.

There's less people consuming supply and demand. Linkedin is still here. Don't do it don't start when it's here. Do it right now, that's the that's the micro.

The macro is self-awareness. Most people don't social media produce because they haven't figured out what they're best at audio, video or written word. People think everything has to be video. It doesn't if you're, a great writer, write your little heart out.

If you want to take a picture to get a little color and then write, then do that if you have the gift of gab, you should definitely do audio and video because it does go further, but it doesn't mean written word or pictures. Don't people have not been self playing this self-awareness game of? What am i good at enough and that's the other big part? How do you communicate? Well, what's your take on clubhouse, i think it's going to end up having the history of snapchat, which is it's going to be a great standalone thing, but every other social platform will have a audio group feature and we've already seen it with twitter spaces. I think you're gon na see it everywhere. So i think it's got legs because the founders are good.

They raise a lot of money and they'll keep making a product, but i think they'll be chipped away at and i think it's going to be just like snapchat, that there'll be a nice solid thing there, but a lot of people have um their versions on it. On their platforms, so, and so vayner media manages some of the biggest brands in the world right now. What is your thought with where marketing is going? Is it going towards voice? I i think it's always been a voice. Radio has always gotten a lot of ad dollars.

Podcasting gets a lot of bad dollars. I think yes, obviously, and i appreciate the question because obviously you're close to my content - and you know i'm very bullish on voice. I think the big elephant in the room is augmented reality. You know, augmented, excuse me: artificial intelligence, ai voice, alexa.

I think alexa's lulling us to sleep. Everyone has one but they're using it for music, we're not really using it yet, but i'm completely convinced before everybody here dies that they'll be ordering food running their house looking at their account list. Excuse me listening to their calendar alexa. What's my next meeting that kind of stuff, i think that's coming in the next decade, and so i do like voice a lot, but i think brand building on social is still an unknown art doing brand work there every day, that's where brand is being built, because That's where the eyeballs are, i think ott hulu, roku, amazon, prime ads, it's taking away from television, is a very big space.
I think influencers continues to be a big space. I think nft projects will emerge as a big space in the next decade. Totally um. Okay, question from social media: for you um, sometimes the entrepreneurial journey can be exhausting and draining.

How have you dealt with times of burnout and what would be your advice on those who are in that place right now to take time my ability to not judge myself when i'm mailing it in for a month a week a year a weekend is my greatest Superpower as an entrepreneur, i don't judge myself see and it's it's funny too right. The perception of you - or i think maybe some of the comments about you - is that you work 365 seven days a week right, but i i'd actually just recently seen your schedule of your days that you take off right and maybe that's a really great insight for Those people who think you have to work 24. 7. 365..

I work. 24. 367. 360.

247. 365. In my brain out of enjoyment, the second: it's not enjoyment. I watch the jets.

The second, it's not enjoyment. I play with the ball. The second, it's not enjoyment. I play pickup basketball.

I work out. I go see my parents i play with the kid like i, the reason i work so much is because i like it the way that people like golf and skiing and cooking and running and watching tv and playing video games and eating. I, like it more it's my hobby, but i like anybody else i'll, give you a great story: texas banned us from shipping wine they just picked on us. Our store happens politics, so we lose this huge market.

Nobody else is losing. It feels unfair, i'm 28.. I get the final death blow at 1. 30 p.m.

I literally drive home and go to sleep at 2 p.m, slept the next morning and was on my way only time it's ever happened in my career. It was just such a death blow because i was scared. We lost a lot of revenue and we're a small company and, and we were being picked on it all sucked it's you know i love losing, but not when it's a stacked deck and it's not a fair game totally. So you know i um to answer everybody.

Like don't be a hero, don't front, i'm working every second, because i love it, but i don't work on the weekends i think about my business. Sometimes sometimes i don't it's just whatever i feel i just live. I feel what i just live. Who are you doing? It for to act cool to your uncle to to impress your girlfriend or boyfriend like what are we doing here? Love yourself, love that gary.

I got a question here from steven raynor says: i'm a grade 12 student, who really wants to make money in any way possible sure way to go steven. That's awesome! Uh! I currently have a part-time job, but i don't feel that i'm making nearly as much as i should recently i've taken up, investing and have mild success with that. However, i really want to start a side hustle, but i can never fully commit to my ideas that i have. How do i fix this and just go for it you're fatally flawed.
That's why my friend, your your kpi, your key performance indicator. Your goal is money, of course, you're not sticking to anything you're impatient, and you want money so fast. Nothing in the history of time takes off right away. So you give up on everything, because the only thing you're thinking about is fast money.

There's no such thing, and so, unless you do criminal activity or shady, and so because of that you're in this hamster wheel of no chance of winning you've got to realize your goal of making money is your flaw. You know and um live your passion right. You you know, the the the key is to you know, live your passion, something i believe in, but i think it gets frothy for people i'd rather say. If you're doing it for money, it will always always be a struggle emotionally, always absolutely uh.

I've got a question from dylan and it's around you know he's building a business on his own, has an opportunity to expand and bring on partners, expertise, maybe even venture capital. What's your thought on that? Should somebody consider still doing it on their own and bootstrapping it, or should they be looking at partnering up venture capital, giving away a piece both work and both don't work, that's a self-awareness game. Do you want to be held accountable? I've never really raised capital because i don't want to answer to anybody. So i'd rather go slower.

Some people feel like competition is going to be coming in soon, so the capital give them a bigger moat. They both work um. I have historically not been a guy that loves raising money, i'm not against it. I have raised money um, so i you know, i think, there's a million ways to do it but um, but i think it's a very person, that's kind of like asking somebody to raise their children, like you know, like you've, got to raise your children your way They both work, don't take money, because it's cool take money because you actually believe you need it totally.

Uh from tim jablonski gary has talked about focus on what you're good at and double down on that, but as entrepreneurs, we're told to sharpen or broaden our skills or even get better at what we need to work on. What's a reasonable balance, 80 20. 60. 40..

Sure you know i'll tell you why this dance was sure, hey i'm. I always think about the audience when i talk so somebody's 80. 20 is 60 40.. So i'm scared to give an answer.

Here's what i will tell you, i believe, in being adequate or solid in most things and then figuring out what your three to four superpowers are and become insane in them. That is, i fully believe in that i think people get caught up on the other stuff. This is why i build family like atmospheres, because i want to have people around me for a long time that are good at legal that are good at finance that are good at project management that are good at spelling, because i can't spell for. But for me i'm not going to go, take a spelling class or you know i'm not going to let my cfo rip me off but at the same token i'm not going to spend every second looking at every dollar.
You know, and so we're we're trying to learn every nuance about ebitda. You know, and so i think that um, you know i'm a big fan of tripling down in your strengths, but you have to be adequate. Nothing can be a fatal flaw right. It's like a body, you could be everything, but if you don't work out your legs and then your inner thighs, you know it's gon na all you up, and so i'm i'm, i'm i'm into adequacy solidness in a lot of areas and i'm, i think people don't Triple because you understand you only have so much energy so when you're fixing all that other stuff you're not taking like let's use numbers, if you're an eight eight eight and then you're a six two four nine seven, you got ta get that two to five, but But getting that five to a six is more effort than your eight to a nine and the delta of that eight to the nine in sales in management in hr in finance.

Whatever that is, that's gon na make a much bigger impact than all the energy you put on those fives to become sixes because you're never going to be innate because we're all dna'd out. So you brought up your cfo and - and i wasn't going to talk finances even though i'm a finance guy. How important is it for you to have somebody reliable that you can trust running the helm of your finances for you? So you can do your thing and you can double down on that. It's oxygen can't pay your bills you're out of business game over totally.

You know i. I also need a partner who understands me, alan, and i are into about five years now we're starting to get into a really good cadence. Where i'm on the offense. I give big shout out to mark yudkin my co.

He plays a great bridge because he's started off as my general counsel, and he really knows me been together 15 years, and you know i don't want a cfo to play defense i can. I can bean count totally. I need somebody who knows what like supports my offense so imperative totally. I had a text message come through from one of my virtual cfo clients.

We do virtual cfo work and he said to me today. You know, good luck, kick ass on your event, and he goes just remember that you were the one person that when i said i'm going to get a billion dollars in revenue in my business in the next 10 years. You didn't laugh at me. You said we'll figure out a way, and i think that that's a key partnership with the cfo that you are being proactive and you're helping accomplish the goals instead of putting up rules and barriers.
Is that fair, 100, unbelievably right, cfos a lot of times, think they run the business? And that is their flaw because they have signing authority, correct, yeah and - and i have a lot of empathy for that. But it's just not the truth and companies that are run by cfos always limit their upside totally yeah we're playing safe, which is fine. Nobody wants to go out of business, i'm not i'm not advocating for careless fake entrepreneurship, i'm advocating for vision, driven offense entrepreneurship. Totally.

You want the green light, you look to the green light to say: can i do this, and should i do this or will it me because i want i'm looking i'm not even looking for the green light, i'm looking for the conversation yeah. That lets me decide if i want to go green, yellow or red totally and and what the cfo should be looking for is the kind of partner like i am, which is oh after i heard it, i'm like that idea, totally yeah, absolutely guys. You heard it first, gary vee he's endorsing having a great cfo partner, though that is awesome. I also am endorsing, and i know that this is this domain, and i absolutely am i'm also endorsing even more.

This is not a curveball or raz having a great hr partner. Human human aspects of business are about to explode even more, and i think that people are more often good at having a good cfo partner than having a good hr partner. Totally agree with that yeah or back to your point i think there's foofy and i'm a little foofy at times buddha people that are really good at hr and they're good, ceo, but don't have the cfo partner. You got to get that whole thing going right.

You need your team of advisors right, you need a solid team of advisors because they help you stay on track and inspire you to do your thing. I think i'm really good. I really do and i have a lot of capacity, but it is very clear to me, with these gray hairs that have emerged, that i'm as good as the people that are around me and when i have the team right around me, then i can fly and When i don't it's much more work and i don't get as much done totally gary another question, i know you're writing another book. I know it's going to be a new york times, bestseller, because that's what you do any insight as to what's in there.

I've heard a few snippets of you know talking about gratitude and it's more maybe related to the human side versus the marketing side. Love to hear a little bit, it's a it's a book around the ingredients needed emotionally to really be a winner in business, and so it is more towards a leadership mindset. Kind of like thank you economy right, it's a point of view book, but it's real practical. I my publisher, who's on book number.

Six with me said it's by far my best book in her notes. Yesterday, i don't need outside of affirmation. It was nice to hear, but there was the whole time. Drock was filming me as i was talking it through with ragab i'm like holy.
This is gon na be my best book. I think it's gon na be a smash hit, i'm very excited about it. I'm always anxious when i ask people for money, so i always say why will this be worth 20 bucks? Why will this be worth 20 bucks? I've never felt better about the 20 bucks than this book. Uh and uh.

It's gon na be really fun. Well. Every year you get scars in business in learning you create new wealth of information and sharing. So i can just imagine you know.

The 10th book is going to be the best book you ever write whenever you get there um question for you here uh. It's talking about open rates on newsletters uh. How do you recommend increasing this? Do you recommend getting away from newsletters? What's the best way, i know that you were really quick on email marketing, really quick on youtube and video. What's the next marketing step that we need to take sms open rates on text are through the roof? Obviously, the way you get better open rates on email is by not making every email a selfish email make it a selfless email.

Think of your email services, not just a sales, funnel think of it as a content engine. So if you can add one email a week, that is just desperately focused on bringing value to the person who's reading it from a content. Standpoint you'll go to a totally different stratosphere. With your open rates, you got to throw it off steep off speed pitch everyone's throwing a fastball every time on email, totally yeah and people are getting sick of it too.

Right to a certain extent, yeah correct one more question here: uh from maria gary: how do you work through feelings of jealousy and envy? I have an experience with someone that is doing something in excel better than me. I got jealous and it made me question my mission. How do i snap back into an abundance mentality? I love her. Was it her or him, or did you give a name, maria maria? I love you so much for having the ability to acknowledge it.

Um jealousy and envy come from a place of fear comes from a place of uh scarcity, great job by talking about abundance at the end of your question, and it comes from a place of insecurity and lack of self-esteem. You have you the fact that you even know this in question form makes me completely positive. You can get there. Um you're gon na have to work on it.

You're gon na have to put positivity in your ears whether it's therapy, whether it's surrounding yourself with positive people. When i tell you the greatest gift in my life, is my lack of jealousy and envy. It goes back to that not needing affirmation from the outside. It's the same thing of why you want money, it's just the reverse of that.

I couldn't, and i mean couldn't be more passionate about pushing you to keep going down this path, because you're you're heading in the right direction. It's a the answer to the question is because it doesn't mean anything like someone else's. Success legitimately has nothing else to do with you right. So excuse me for one second, i got ta figure out what that is.
Hopefully it's not lunch ready gary guys. Garyvee is incredible: throw in your comments in here, for when he comes back in the chat. What is the most inspiring meaningful message that you've heard from garyvee throw it in the chat? Let's give him some love when he comes back from his lunch being done in the oven, i would love for that guys. We have garyvee on here.

This is incredible: what an opportunity to talk with one of the masters of entrepreneurship, one of the masters of essentially resonating with gratitude and sharing how important it is for the human side of business right garyvee is an inspiration to so many of us, and you know, I'm super grateful that he's here, i'm hopefully gon na find out that he's coming back um because he may have just had somebody at the door, but it's all good. I apologize gary there's love coming from you in the chat, my friend. We are so appreciative of you and your time i know you're a busy guy. I would love to ask you one last question before you need to run, and hopefully that wasn't lunch being overcooked in the oven there gary.

If it was if it was lunch, i would have never left an important conference like this. I'm waiting on one family thing and i just had to triple check it. Wasn't that no worries my friend so one piece of advice. I would love to know one piece of advice that you would share to an entrepreneurial community to say how do you get from where you are now to realizing? You know your true future, the future that you're destined to achieve the goals and the vision that you want to accomplish in your life.

Repeat that one more time, because i want to really nail that yeah. So one piece of advice that we could give the entrepreneurial community that would help them get from where they are today to really realizing their passion, realizing their vision and what they want to get out of life. What is it the one piece of advice that we can give them to head out of this session to really nail that put your two index fingers in your ears and close your eyes and live your life that way? I am completely convinced about this at this point. In my life, the outside noises and trying to achieve for them back to the last question right is: is a death blow? Do you know why you know when people meet me in real life and really actually get to know me inevitably because of where my life has gone within the first hour or day or week of knowing someone somebody says to me, just can't believe how humble you Are right and it's a couple reasons: they say that i've amassed some success, i'm also quite hyper and content.

I get it right, but the reason i'm hyper is the same reason that i can deal with negativity. I don't hear the cheering. I don't think i'm the garyvee that you introd, i really don't i'm being serious. I really don't by not hearing the accolades and the cheering.
It also allows me not to hear the booing. Almost everybody here is playing for the crowd, i'm playing for myself. What you just asked is the easiest question. I've ever been asked it's a very simple answer and it's almost impossible to achieve, because people don't practice gratitude and insuliness on a daily basis, and i do - and it's really worked for me - and i see it in many others and i see how it's worked for Them absolutely love that guys share some love for gary v in the chat before he goes gary v, even though you may not see yourself as that inspiration.

That's certainly how i perceive you don't. I know you never will change, but don't change your social media man. I love i love love, love, seeing your notes of inspiration and motivation. Even your chats, your texts, your sms, that come through love getting those too my friend listen.

I am so grateful for you thanks for making time for us. Uh have an awesome day and guys a little uh spirit, fingers for garyvee to head them out youtube watcher. What's up it's garyvee! First of all, thank you so much. I hope, you're doing super well during these times.

I also want to ask you please subscribe, because my commitment and exploration of youtube is about to explode stories, polls, more content, more engagement, more surprise and delight. This is the time to subscribe. I hope you consider it, and i hope i see you soon. You.

    I have $0 because I've spent it all on my business. I've done this over and over for the past 3 years with ridiculously high risks. My business earned $500 over the past 14 months so I'm severely under in my business but I'm still reshaping my business, putting in effort to improve quality, and have accumulated believers in the business and am building a team now. I'm focused on the long term and accumulating attention. I really don't recommend investing everything you have, I believe making a solid budget and having a good balance between savings, stocks, expenses, and investing in your business, maybe 10,30,30,30 is a good split monthly. It's been hard for me with my aggressive investment strategy the past few years, I haven't been able to have a girlfriend or keep savings. I'm planning on going for a different and safer strategy focusing on the free things you can do for growing your business versus paid. Balance is key to everything in life I believe.

    I dont care what people think or say. I'm an entrepreneur and have the mindset. Thank you for saying what you did. We aren't like "other people". Not everyone can risk while being ready to start again if needed. Loved this video!!!

    First of all, I am sorry. I have been listening and enjoying your content for a while and only just subscribed today. I drive the Long Island N.Y area every day and spend endless hours in my car and I cannot thank you enough for the entertainment and knowledge. I live in the RVC area and just wanted to invite you to go garage sale shopping . The sales here are nothing less than incredible. Im sure so many people want something from you and so do I. I want you to take a day off and go treasure hunting for nothing but the fun of it. Just a small escape, I do it every Sat. and its soooo good for the soul. Any time your up for it, would love to go picking. Take care and thanks again.

    I totally admire your principles in life and business. I definitely agree on what you said about being aware of yourself in order for you to know how much risks you can take in your business and how much you're willing to lose if things don't work out. Thanks for sharing such valuable insights, Gary!

    " i desperately dont care about money " – its very easy to say that when you have 6 figure , 9 figure exits in your bank just sitting there doing nothing. A Big fat treasury chest filled with money to serve you for your next 1-2 generations – yes its very easy to say i dont care about money. If i had that sort of money , i will say that too . everyday , day in day out. lol.

    The value received from you lately on the humanity side of business has been outstanding.
    You do know that AI technology is taking humans away from that. People generally are more fragile emotionally than ever before and a big part of that evolution is virtual reality is replacing their grounded experience of living.

    I want to be happy
    Thank you for your coaching
    I noticed u didn’t complete negative sentences when u gave examples of bad that could happen to u…
    Is it because u do believe in the law of attraction?
    And I imagine your reserves are not small….
    I hope people set aside enough to cover expenses for at least 6 months…today I tried to help a woman get free furniture .. she’s sleeping on the floor… there is no free furniture in miami … it’s a myth that people doing well, assume…. So people… please give directly to shelters or listen and believe good people have tried to get help… they are being sent from place to place… it is hard to when u can’t cover basic expenses…
    Ok… so my question to u is … for the average buisness owner, how can u survive if there are on and off shutdowns?
    Ps: I hope it’s ok with u that I will share your insights with people who are unaware

    Gary, you've been such an inspiration!
    Thanks to you, I started my YouTube channel! <3

    But nowadays I wish I had some guidance. It feels so weird and kinda in the middle of nowhere to be in a place with no purpose.
