#QOTD: What weaknesses of yours are you giving thanks for? And be honest. This will help you.
#Timestamps:
0:00 Intro
01:27 - Should I wait until my website is 100% built before putting out content or put out content while I’m still building it?
03:08 - How would you recommend looking for a co-founder
05:04 - I have my own blog, but I don’t do podcast or videos because I have a Russian accent, and I worry about my trustworthiness is this something I should worry about?
08:16 - In the past what was your equivalent of that #OneAlmond moment from episode 46? What did you potentially miss out on?
10:59 - What’s behind the recent big surge in wine time for you? Missing it? Big opportunity in app?

Someone by the name of Tommy Mottola (look him up) once told me that he wouldn't try and sell anything until the artist he was working with and the product they were creating (in this case music) were ready. And I agree with that to some extent because if you're going to sell something you need to make sure that those ready to buy it can actually do so, but it also needs to make sense for the context involved. So let me explain.
If you're able to achieve and execute on business objectives by building out content and pushing your product or business without the need of a fully built website, then by all means, go for it. By creating content you're beginning the journey of how your story will unfold. The reception of this content will also allow you to test and learn and understand the best approach to creating future content once your business and website are ready for the masses. That process you simply don't want to miss out on.
And so, a big issue I've been seeing is that people are too reluctant to sell against the communities and the impressions they've established on social. Too many people are caught up on only leveraging their website for banner ads but selling against social audiences is essentially the same thing. If you're creating valuable content that's living on social then you might as well take advantage of that opportunity. Don't get caught up in only monetizing on the platform that you fully own when there's a world of opportunity that exists through the channels you're deciding to put your content on.
So in short - If the opportunity to create content presents itself and makes sense for the objectives of the business you're trying to build, then my suggestion is to go ALL IN and get moving. NOW.

"You maybe one almond away from changing your life!"
Are you the one I rode with last night, 4/14/20? I'm trying to find my phone and purse. Thanks!!
Bet he got some quality coke.
Damn Gary every single trip Uber does was your bank. I actually drove and to think you were my “boss” cause you just invested 25k to make 300mil. Fucking co-founder of Uber as a start up! Fuck! Damn it passed up on it twice! Fucking shit!!!!!! Fucking twice on the dumbass shit. You could have made the next TESLA and invested the fuck out that fucking 300mil. But I guess it makes you hungry Gary 🙂 and fuck I just forgot Uber does eats so you could have been BAAAAAANKING! and you can get your meals since you’re hungrier for it
My weaknesses are organizational skills I need to be more structured. I also believe I have a lack of focus. I need to focus better to get more shit done.
My huge step wasn't necessarily a weaknesses but in self awareness. Being diagnosed with Asperger's allowed me to really understand myself more and allow the communication channels within myself to open up.
I suck at building an engineering project.
How are you guys friends if you can’t even pronounce his last name??
Anyone knows what's the font used in the video?
Concentration is my weakness!
And btw, you didn't speak in the russian accent as promised! 😜
I have a weak attention span and lack of patience (may go together as one lol). Anyways… won't let that stop me from working hard at my goals.
The weakness im most proud of is my lack of great sales skills, my ability to listen and fix problems fast comes from a lack of time focusing on that
I love being there for my pieps, and trying to give them "the" best advice. Even tho it's frustrating at times, because they still have to take it, and act upon it. Like that fear of failure thing you talked about, it's a totally fresh way of thinking about that you inspired me into. But when I then pass it on, the person in question doesn't want to go there…
Or like when my boy didn't dare approaching women… I told him about supply and demand, as someone who can't do it on gut feeling, I felt it was a descent approach. Later on I encouraged him to learn improv-theater as a way to learn n relax in those situations…
And while I realize that the return on these things is almost nill, zilch, nada, and I lose my time trying to help, I do love the caring it takes to keep on trying and finding new strategies to maybe deal with ppl's problems as I keep on caring. And some of these strategies come from you, you have my deepest gratitude!
my weakness is i think i am better than i AM! I allow others to influence my decisions and opinions to make myself better rather than do it myself which is a vital weakness.
Thankful for my shitty attention span. through me being distracted I learn about a bunch of other things I would never known about.
FPS Russia bro!!!
