He’s in love with me #longgame #iwanthimtotouchme #lovesex #iwish .. how to ya do what u love when it doesn’t want u
Thanks Gary
doing what you love is a factor but i believe you should be good at what you do for a living anyway.
YES! I will try to be rich from it.
I think this is the video I will play a thousand times more, maybe not each day of my life but each week definitelly. Thank you Gary.
Is there a way I can set up a call with you or a meeting?
This is just how I see it!! Thank you Gary!!
Excellent answer! I think happiness is the ultimate currency and you can be wealthy and rich following what you love (with some self-awareness) than someone who has a stacked bank account!
I cannot lie, I do love that "big but".
Good shit.
heh heh…"big BUT"
Gary-I hope you are reading this-You are so absolutely amazing!you give so much to me-all for free.what you say really keeps me going.thank you so so much for all the content you put out there.you don't know how much of what you say really changes the way I think and actions I take.i mean it.thank you brother!
Gary, your nothing short of an inspiration. I want to get in touch. I want to tell you my story. No dodgy emails or desperate pleading.
Self Awareness!
Such a great message. Nailed it Gary.
Passion first #ProvenByRuben
Doing what you are good at! Bet on your strengths! That's the main takeaway I got from your book ask gary vee! I made a video of it on my channel too!
Gary can you tell if somebody is bullshitting you?
this cleared up a lot, thanks again Gary
Love that!
Great point. That whole "do what you love" thing is what I hear rich people say after the fact. The truth is when you have to pay the rent with your passion, you may not love it anymore. My strategy is to do what I'm good at to finance my passion. That way, I keep it fresh. And if I make a bunch of dough, awesome.
I agree 100%
That's a really great answer. Loved this Q and A.
Gary! This is massively powerful sound bite! Thank you for your guidance!
Great Answer to a great question.
Damn DRock/Staphon! That CTA in the end was incredible, I shared it on FB without a second thought
More people need to see this. It's probably in your Top 3 or Top 5 overall messages you preach. Needs to be pounded into the heads of your audience.
excellent
Hey that's my question!!!! Super happy this got posted as an individual video!
So well said.
aww that was sweet. wasn't expecting that
I Just figured out who you are Gary like a week ago, and dam i saw more than 50 videos of you and still going, you are really inspiring, like i wouldn't even comment on this unless i knew that you actually read the comments and interact with your fans/followers or whatever you wanna call those who continuously watch your videos to pump themselves up towards what they want to do. keep up the good work.
I thought the only way to be really good at something was to love it? Steve jobs said it pretty well in a speech.
He said something like you have to be passionate and love what you do because if you don't, you won't put up with the bullshit that comes with it
Totally got your lesson Gary! You gotta be self-aware of your big butt. Thanks.
Such a great topic. Thanks for sharing.
Doing what you love vs. doing what you're good at can define whether or not you have a "Successful Brand". I recently wrote a paper on wine branding as part of my WSET Diploma studies in which I address the topic of "Successful Brands." ALL of the books and online articles on the subject defined "successful" solely in terms of billions of dollars revenue and global market share. Yet I know successful family-owned wineries who have an entirely different goal – they want to produce estate only wines and have a dedicated loyal consumer base with whom they have a communal connection. They have achieved their goal and thus they are successful even though they only produce about 10,000 cases per year and 95% of their sales are to local consumers and restaurants. If they were any bigger they would no longer be a family-run business but would become a business-run family and would no longer be doing what they love.
Crushed it,,,
son look at the legend
It's worth noting that if you do what you love doing, then you will get better at it. You're absolutely right with the example – they might never make an elite sportsman/woman if they start out not good, but for most professions doing it with a passion to get better and to enjoy every minute usually gets someone into the top 10% at least of their profession.
So much truth behind this! Thanks Gary!
I think the best way to put things into perspective is this way : IF YOU HAD ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD, WHAT WOULD YOU DO.
Now that's what you have to do.
Something that I'm struggling with right now. Thanks brother.
Gary, I love you more than a lot people close to me ! You are a fucking legend dude, fucking inspiration, keep doing it !
Big Hug from Brazil!
