How do you work 100% for clients and another 100% for your own brand? The answer is simple: you need to work harder. And faster. There's really nothing else to it. I'm exhausted every day, but I'm making all sorts of things happen in my eighteen hours. Not only am I working eighteen hours, I'm working fast as hell in this eighteen hours. And, I'm prioritizing what's important and what's not.
We're all different. We work in different ways. If you're Type A, maybe you just need to schedule non-negotiable time for your personal brand if it's that important to you. But really, there is no magic answer here. The answer is just more time, and faster within that time.
Now, the faster part might confuse some people. I always tell people to start working harder, stop watching Lost, but there's another variable: be much faster in the hours you'er already in. There is not a second that's down for me. Some people say they work ten minutes day, but then when I audit them, there's fifteen minutes here and there where they watched a YouTube video. We fight for minutes on my team. Even seconds.
I used to think I was the biggest workaholic that lived. From twenty-two to thirty, I really thought I was all in. But I had enough time to bullshit about baseball with friends. I had time. Now, I'm dramatically faster. And I'm working more hours. That's how it's happening.
So that's the answer. More hours. Faster. Better. Stronger.

    I love the straight talk that Gary gives people, and I realize that this is one of the reasons there has been this influx of people on YT and social media trying to cast shade on him. Lots of people know exactly why they aren't attaining the success they want, and they simply aren't willing to do what it takes, and they don't want to anybody out there calling it like it is.

    during lockdown i was studying, working 3 jobs and having to focus on my health in order to improve my mobility and yet i still somehow felt lazy, which only made me want to work harder, this literly lead me to doing 24-30+ hour days in which i'd literly just go from one job to another then another and then still have to be on time for class and hand in assignments in advance as i wouldnt be home for days on end. if you want to achive something, nothing, and i mean nothing, should get in your way. stop being lazy and work harder to pursue your dreams.

    Bad advice! I'm sorry but working harder and more isn't always the answer, it's more about time management. You're burning out or get so exhausted so much so that your output is more but not good in quality. Everyones different, but working hard doesn't mean working more than 18 hours every day. Work hard but also smart…

    I think something gold that he didn't come out and say was that he didn't just start working 18 hour days overnight. He gradually started doing more, which is why he works so much harder, longer and faster than when he was 29.

    Yes, I work hard in my school works but I'm slow. I need to work smarter and faster.

    If everyone worked as hard as he does, his YouTube channel would be obsolete.
