Takeaway: you don't have to act like you know everything in your 20's, document and put in the work. Truth above what feels good.
You don't have to act like you know everything ever.
That’s something I’m currently doing myself. Stay safe!
Oh shut up
glad someone summerised it because he was chatting shit the whole time hahahaa
You dont have to everything to takr action you just have to know something. This is how you learn
“People aren’t starting, they’re just not making. they’re thinking! they’re pondering. They’re strategizing. They’re debating. The difference between people like me and the far majority, I’m just doing it all times. “
Robert Reeves doing all the time is key 🔑
Info Colony 😭😭
This one hit me hard.
Same and the affirmation with "ideas are shit execution is the game."
THIS
"stop trying to create and start documenting" was such a lightbulb moment for me. So freaking simple... just document the process, fall in love with the process and show the world the reality of your work. People can smell bs a mile away, your "front" can only last so long... Gonna go get some!
Same here!💯
My biggest takeaway : I have followed your content Gary and I’ve struggled with it and it has left me uneasy often. Today watching this video, I realised that the reason I struggle with it, is because you leave me with no choice but to look at myself, to truly challenge my actions rather than just my hopes, dreams and ideas. Appreciate you and your humility to share your knowledge.
Boom.. I feel you!... Leaving with no choice than look at myself.
I feel the same exact way.
@@chantalkoster Not easy or fun! But super rewarding!
@@tanyagiacchina492 I’m glad that I’m not alone 🙈
No! Definitely not alone but its not too late for us to change :)
Gary: How old are you?
Somebody: 90
Gary: Perfect
Martin Schnurer 😂😂😂 I’m deaddd
32 years old....is still young
No one:
Gary: got it?
😂
Ahaha
"Talk is shit, execute is the game" clap clap clap
Thanks for this, Gary! I have 3 takeaways:
1. Know/be yourself (for real) - I live most of my life struggling to be the person I want to be vs. living in the reality of who I am and growing from there.
2. Ideas are shit; execution is the game - I have a ton of ideas that I either talk myself out of or get lost in the details of them and never move forward.
3. Document vs. Create - I get too much in my head about creating "cinematic pieces of art" (see point 2) instead of creating snippets of my life or documenting seasons of my life. Documenting puts it in a smaller, much more achievable box. Then as my skills increase, perhaps the art comes later. But nothing happens without doing something!
It's been five years since this content was published. I wonder how things turned out for this young man.
Hey how is it going? Did you improve?
I would like to know how things went for the young man
Handsome genuine young lad, plenty ‘o potential
Watching 5 years later
1 - Always Show up
2 - Execute
3 - Talk it, walk it
4 - Know your strengths/ weaknesses
5 - Worry about yourself before others
6 - Hard work always pays off, may take us down paths not expected. It always pays off. Great content, Great comments. l
1. Know yourself
2. Show the fuck up
3. If you cannot create, distribute or facilitate

Facts
One of the main points that resonated with me was the fact that so many people out there "aren't starting." There is too much thinking, planning, and worrying going on. You have to start at some point if you're going to go anywhere. I liked that you touched on just getting started and letting things fall into place. If you're "really real" with yourself and "don't front" you are setting yourself up for exponential growth by default.
I think it is important to expand on the premise of momentum. We all need it. It's not up for debate. I am a young person and I see far too many intelligent and intellectual minds go dormant because they're not STARTING.
Today is the first time I've listened to you , Gary, and I'm glad I did. I am looking forward to experiencing the content you have available.
Hey Holden this is Andrew from The Passion Pursuers. I think that's a great take away ! I fell into that category for awhile and then named 2016 my JUST DO IT YEAR. I started a CZcams Channel and started posting more content on Instagram and all platforms through social media. @Gary Vaynerchuck. I think my biggest take away was that we are on the right path growing our social media and putting out more content. It felt great to know me and my team are on the right path because we have implemented alot of what is on this video. Just need to scale and DO MORE. Thank You!
Gary, the internet is a goldmine, but I will definitely say that YOU WOULD have been successful without the internet, there are so many offline marketing tactics to be tackled it's unbelievable. You got it in your veins. Best to you. Oh..... forgot, getting money is probably not hard in the US but money is hard to get in other parts of the world.
But you see that's the thing, people like Gary + all these possible venture capitalist and angel investors, make it seem like you should have everything planned out from the outset and throughout, yet that's something that's so hard to do, because let's be honest if you can't be able to answer an angel investor's question (maybe because of lack of experience or professionalism) How do you expect them to invest in you, especially if what your subject is not about all the buzz that's all around, I mean look at Tesla, if they did not have the capital, at least to satisfy them to a proportional distant of progress to show meaningful results (ie either through buzz by the media or actual evidence) who would have invested in them???
TheJoker 254 Thats why Tesla and other product, content, creative, ect genius's need to learn the other half. He could've invested himself into learning about the business part of creation. Or if that's too much get someone who's good at that to make it happen. The point here is its so easy to make excuses or to say I don't have this and that and that's why m not making it. But I think this goes back to a point Gary was making when he said Know Yourself. Know ur strengths, know ur weaknesses and improve ur game or hustle with this knowledge. If u can't play the sport, document it, if u can't document it write about it, if u cnt do that find something u can do and do well and do that. And that's how I believe he says people are gonna make it
This exact statement is what has motivated me to just begin the ideas I've been strategizing in my mind. Nothing gets done until you begin!
"Knowing yourself instead of knowing the person you wish to become"
That resonated with me. Ive realized that I need to use my skills and scale up from there. It's was like waking up in a jungle when I realized this. I had to figure out where I was, what I have, what I need. In short, I'm feeling better than ever. I love the process more and have a clearer view of what I need to do.
👌🏾
I think that it is hard to know yourself, and easy to know someone else, if you did, documenting became easy, because creation depend on something, but documenting depend of nothing, letting go, Gary vee i found you in internet in 2015, and didn't realize that you're sharing the best marketing strategy for people, documenting versus paying fb ads, thank a lot 👌
Takeaway: " Ideas are shit, execution is the game" - that hit hard when you said it. Also the importance of self awareness vs who I aspire to be. This whole episode was full of learning.
1st BIGGEST TAKEAWAY: "Ideas are shit, Execution is the game" you are dead right about how lots of us are being caught up in the thinking process, wondering, planning strategies instead of just doing. Which brings me to changing my perspective about creating content from the top down instead of building from the bottom up. That just blew my mind.
2nd BIGGEST TAKEAWAY: Making the decision of being REAL to myself instead of trying to be someone I wish I was. Sharing my process from the place I´m at instead of the place I wish I was. Just being honest with myself and start from there.
I was just talking about making the decision of fully committing to my instincts of what feels right for me right now, which is fully committing to my CZcams Channel, a project that I love and that is actually starting to grow; instead of what I think was the best or what had to be according to society, and then this video came across. Life is a very beautiful thing.
Thank you for sharing yourself, Gary.
I wholeheartedly agree with your comment. Very refreshing to feel this way.
I know, right?! practicing it until we don´t need to think about it anymore
Yes!!! It is refreshing to feel like this!
Greaaat!!!!+++:))))
Gracias para escribiando buenas notas para todos disfutar y aprender tu mente y experenciaaa....
Eres muy amable compartir como Gary V. Tenga un buen dia y semana tambien...
Cuidate muuuuccchhhooo!!!!!!!++++:)))))
We procastinate so much about getting everything right all at once not realizing we are not getting anything done at all.
Thanks Gary Vee
“Success is not obtained overnight. It comes in installments; you get a little bit today, a little bit tomorrow until the whole package is given out. The day you procrastinate, you lose that day's success.”
― Israelmore Ayivor
Seems like this advice is specifically for me. Lol. Why so accurate
m.czcams.com/video/p3CNcv00g1c/video.html
Well said. This is a key take away!
My takeaway watching this today as a 18 year old, is that taking care of the internal first and developing self-awareness is most important. That's something I've been struggling with moving out into a new city and trying to pave my own path.
After watching this I truly understand why Gary believes so deeply in Self-awareness . It’s literally the summary of everything said in this video.
Biggest takeaway: stop thinking about the things you want to do and start doing them. Do. Constantly. You'll figure it out.
That's the second most meaningful takeaway i got from it!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Phoenix One Productions what was your first 🤔
@@lonewolf6842 its literally like the next comment..
@@phoenixoneproductions nah. It isnt. Maybe to you, but we see our own comments with different priority.
“Don’t try to oversell yourself. It’s smarter to talk about the process your going through than give advice.”
Thanks Gary Vee!
Yess this is the one
Such amazing advice
Pure gold!
I struggle with this one for sure. I tend to be abstract, so I usually offer advice instead of sharing my own experience directly
My favorite bit
100% “ Ideas are shit, execution is the game “ GENIUS!!!
''The journey of the climb'' is what I took from this video - it really hit home for me... I was a documenter on social media, built a following and also a multiple 6 figure business with organic traffic, got hit so bad mentally after a business partner ran off with all our profit money that I had such a hard time recovering mentally. Luckily because I had an audience I managed to build my life from ground zero all over again to half a million USD within a year, but despite all this I really want to redocument my life all over again and struggling with where to start. I guess I just need to restart anywhere, I can just talk about the journey my mental state took, where I am at, and what we my partner and I are doing to take it to $1 million within the next 6 months.
One of the main points of this video that connected with me was to "discover yourself" and accept who your are and work with it.
As I scrolled through the comments, I figured I'd second what you said Frank. It's all about finding who you actually are and then creating something from that place. The more vulnerable and real, the more authentic! Which is what I think the main point was, behind this video Gary put together. Awesome interview and advice.
Been a fan of Gary, but there was always something bothering me with his shit, no matter how amazing you think his content is, about 10% is good, 5% is really good, here for that. The rest is just hype. If you want to know about "who you are", go listen to Alan Watts, he'll explain this stuff really good, a true philosopher. This is a philosophical question, or do you not know? Otherwise, "who you are" and "who you wish be", can be fucking the same. Because who says "who you are" right now, can't be the "who you whish to be" tomorrow morning (your parents, school teachers etc). Gary got the idea he's good with selling, so he became one. I'd suggest, go watch "RSD", much deeper philosophical points. Gary knows this shit, but he can't explain it. This is why he says, go "do". Which is what all fucking say, so go do. There is all there is to it. Do. Take action. I am also drunk while writing this, while, lawl. So drunk.
Sincere thoughts about Gary? I know, you don't give shit. Well, neither does Jupiter.
He doesn't really know himself, he is not truly happy. No truly happy man talks so much (I think it's an ego/defense mechanism, also not based soley on this video, watched a lot him lately) and doesn't have such ridiculous goals. But he has them, because he doesn't truly know himself. Although he sees through other peoples BS immediately, but not his own.
A man with peace with himself and the world ("happy") is calm, not low energy (still high), but calm. You can see it in body language, tone of his voice, speed of movement, his reactions. Gary lacks a lot of it.
Peace, Drunk CZcams Troll.
Erosis of common shuttles there is a ton of opportunity when you don't know who you are or what you want. like tai Lopez talks about your empires failing and falling to ashes.. you get to redesign you want the damn thing rebuilt.
how do u discover yourself
“Finding money isn’t the problem, it’s really not” (ad comes on) this is genius
You see just a simple ad can make you money
That has nothing to do with Gary! Thats CZcams! Quit being a cheap ass and subscribe and you can get educated without ads!
@@davegerrard6857 CZcamsrs can choose how many ads and when they appear. Nothing wrong with ads tho, everyone needs to get paid for their service.
also i'm pretty sure that Askar Nag was not hating on the ad, he's saying it's genius :D Smile, Have a good day!
The part where you called him out on fronting! It’s so important to be real. So enamored with how bold you are and how it breaks people down! It’s so insane how raw you are!!!
I love how you guided this young man who at the start seemed pretty scattered and undefined, and through the course of the interview you were able to get him to create the “container”.
Biggest take away:
People say funding is the hard part but when you give them money, they don’t know that they want to sell.
The main takeaway is:
Be thoughtful, always tell the truth and be yourself!
Understand the difference between who you are and who you think you want to be.
AND... find a way to monetize all that
haha :D That should be first
Alexandr Semichin and also to stop thinking and start creating
so just the same things everyone else says
Hey, Aaron_ Do you need to have high quality camera equipment to do ideas like odd corner?
U might not even see this comment anymore it’s been 5 years since the video. Loved it nonetheless. Loved the idea of facilitating, to me it turns into an idea of building a community and relationship hence becoming more valuable and building myself up based on the connections feedback and hands on experience. Thanks Gary ! All the best to u.
Literally watching this five years after it was created. Idk where I even start! What I really took out of the video was working on yourself first and getting your things together is where it all starts. I’m so pumped for life watching this content!
"Shit is subjective" changed my life
Winthu I wrote this as my takeaway too!
Could you please explain this to me? English is not my first language so sometimes I just can't understand the true meaning of a sentence.
If you sell shit, some may find it valuable. If you do shit, some may find it valuable. A mans garbage, may be another mans gold. Your opinion doesn't matter, because you ain't going to buy it or see it.
+Winthu Thank you for your reply. :) I'm sorry for my late reply.
+SolidState Thank you for the info. May all of us succeed in life.
Best advice found in This video:
Document, distribute, facilitate.
“Don’t punish yourself.”

I’m being myself and winning czcams.com/video/_AqEzudc1zs/video.html
Biggest fucking take away from this video is understanding who you are VS. who you wish you were.
I have been watching videos of yours for around 4 hours straight now and have noticed that pops up a whole hell of a lot. That is something that I feel most people do not even think about putting into the front of their minds because they don't actually know that they need to confront themselves with that. I am planning out, outlining, and researching starting up a pod cast in the next week and hearing that quote from you immediately made me confront a numerous amount of truths about myself that I have blocked out for years and years. You are exactly who you are and in every video of yours I have ever watched that has not changed at all. I respect the shit out of you for that. Thank you for all the information and no bullshit mentality that bring with it. It has been and remains refreshing.
I love how you recommended 25 pieces of content a day, and shifting the mindset to documenting. There’s so many things I process through in a day that I can make relevant. But, I’ve been overlooking. Simple advice, but dope!
The biggest take away for me was "Do you know yourself, or do you aspire to be something you might actually not be?" There's so much I want to do, so I spend a lot of time learning about it. Just reading and seeing and consuming. When I want to make something though, I end up keeping the thoughts in my head. In the case of art (painting, drawing, animating), I can create these gorgeous images in my mind, but refuse to move them into a physical media because "I'm not good" and "It takes too much time". Same thing for music, or writing, or whatever it is I'm currently interested in. As you said, I'm just not making. Only thinking, pondering, strategizing, and debating. Trying to find the short path to victory (reference to another video). I truly believe there is a short path, but I have to make that path by first taking the long path. This long path is very difficult to find. Where's the starting point? How do you become a master of all trades, jack of none?
So, here I am, just stuck in my own echo chamber. And I don't know how to break it. Everyday I'm pushing back what I want to create under the pretense that I'm "learning". So many videos... so many articles... and it only makes me knowledgeable not skillful. I know that skill is more valuable, but my will is not strong enough yet to just do it, whatever it may be. Hopefully soon I'll break it. Just need to find the purpose.
Ignat Remizov you're not alone mate a lot of us do that because fantasizing is easy.
Relatable .. young hungry but the flow is still loading up... I'm gonna find a good comeup and work at it from now on
Ignat Remizov Why do you want strong will? Start small with weak will and build it up. My mom always says Rome wasn't built in a day, for i'm a bodybuilder and need patience for growth and whatever but do not always have it when my mind plays tricks. But I try to lay a brick down, day by day and hopefully. I'll have Rome one day, and so can you. Day by Day. Brick by Brick. Whatever you wish to achieve. The little pieces add up. Strongs my friend. You have a great mindset!
Ignat Remizov this is sooooo me. I'm an information hog, just trying to absorb EVERYTHING ! it does have a name......analysis paralysis.
Ignat Remizov same with me and game design, I've watched hours of talks, tutorials, dos and don'ts, and stuff but when i go to make something nothing happens i have ideas and knowledge but that's it i never force myself to DO
Takeaway: There's money everywhere. You just have to provide value.
Yeah, I loved that too :)
Amen to that
Literally 🤯
Amen
Nathy Nesmon wow i love that!
This man honestly never lies! Ain’t nobody I’d be more confident taking advice from! 💎
What I loved here was how you told him to focus his content on his journey of finding his own voice and how to express it to others. That is so relatable to EVERYONE because everyone struggles with truly being themselves all the time. I loved this video so much.
Gary you are such a inspiration to me. Because of you I started EXECUTING and made my CZcams channel. I started putting out entertaining content, giving value and I stopped giving a fuck about what my parents think and threw out everything holding me back. I plan on creating better and better content and patiently see my channel grow. Thank you so SO fucking much.
F*ck yea! You got this brotha💪💯
Great work very captivating keep going you got what it takes
keep it up bro subbed!
Appreciate it bro!
That's awesome!
The one thing that REALLY affected me was: Focus on yourself before building a team.
That shit was POWERFUL!
I agree. I spend more thoughts on this daily and when he brought that up I was like DUh!
Victor Soares why?
True Story men 👌💯😂
Agreeed!
Every second of your journey is a valuable moment in your process that should be documented. Showing up as you are and being your unique self is the key to producing content that will help create an audience that resonates with your content. Overtime people will begin love and respect you for your authenticity. Thanks Gary👌🏾 I needed to hear this💯💯
Take away : content is everywhere and there’re so many. U don’t have to think about it all the time by yourself.
2) work on you
3) don’t over pressure yourself. Don’t try to be like anyone. Tell your journey and struggle can be fun too.
4) don’t punish yourself. Don’t feel guilty having a life and weekend. Be patient.
"When you can't create, distribute"
now that's the shit i need
Or facilitate
Hi. Can you elaborate the "distribute" part? What does it really mean to distribute if you can't create?
@@brent7738 meaning if you can't produce a product, then the choice you have is to distribute said product. example, if you can't make shoes, then you can distribute it from nike or adidas and sell it.
@@adzansyahputra2675 Thank You
"Work on yourself"
That's a major key
But how do you truly know you know who you are ?
Get me?
I think you truly have met yourself when you are confident in your intuition, and actually listening to it. I think we "front" a lot when we feel one way and do another.
Al Arenas Only you know that. No one can tell you who you are, they can only tell you what they perceive you to be through their own eyes.
I just started a CZcams video folder and named it “Gary Vee Movement 👊🏼” I don’t know HOW I am just now learning about you but, I am so thankful I found your content finally on YT. I strive for the hard brutal truths in life as well as give it. I am still re-learning myself as I had brain surgery 9 years ago but never gave up on driving my friends & family crazy with being outside the box in life not wanting to work a 9-5. I always have beat to my own drum just now it’s differently. After the good ole pandemic everything went digital which being a graphic designer this made what I imagined 9 years ago would be a blessing for me now a true reality. Now is the time for me to step up which brings me to my biggest takeaway… document everything! I been wasting time before now trying to figure out how to create and what to say when I just need to start documenting my damn journey. 🙌🏼 Such GOLD & Fire!
The biggest thing that stuck with me was the interview idea!
The one thing I love about your videos is you never tell people exactly how to do things! but you give the best information, to inspire people with the knowledge to adapt it to their scenarios if they are willing.
As a mountain bike shop, if 1 of us goes riding every Saturday to interview someone on the trail, people will be hearing advice from real people riding whatever they have at whatever level they ride!
Honest advice from real people! Free content for us whilst providing a service and increasing brand awareness.~
Thanks Gary!
14:25 "they're just not making. they're thinking. they're pondering. they're strategizing. they're debating."
this gave me chills and I know why, haha.
tnx, Gary.
That was my biggest take away too!
ideas are shit, execution is the game.
damn, that stuff just changed my life. thanks
Jays King no it didnt
fuckin vibe killer
So wassup from 2021? How did it change?
@@utdpmrfv got 4 startups up and running. An incredible 9-5 and my community job. Execution is the gameee
@@notnotsyaj WOW. Impressive! Amazign, isn't it. I just discovered this guy like yesterday (and i'm 36 :) ) Hope i'll switch to execution from the day-dream mode.
But i do have lots of respect for you for execution, amigo! Keep up the great work!
Document vs create - my biggest obstacle is coming up with original content but that can be leveraged by documenting what your already doing! GOLD
Get to know yourself better than anything. I’m 33, had a major life change, and I was lost, but coming to the realization that I didn’t know myself was huge. The process has been 2.5 years and it’s been ups and downs and plenty of struggle, but I’ve loved the process. The best parts are when I truly feel lost and confused or have a obstacle to overcome, because right after that with persistence comes answers. Thank you Gary Vee for being an inspiration, keep spittin knowledge ✋🏽
This video made me write my first comment on CZcams ever and I am 24 years old.
Thank You for the words Gary.
but seriously tho? why do you have to wait 24 years
@@FM-to3gy I don't think he planned to wait till now
I don't think that
I don't think that babies can understand or use CZcams to type a comment
Especially since CZcams didn't exist 24 years ago
And nobody knows how long this person been using CZcams
lol
Good stuff bro! Focus on the positive, not the negative, be grateful, and be great full
I was very interested in the stuff said near the middle of the video in when you were talking about investment and how it's not the content that people want to put money in, and how it's the packaging that people invest in. Like I want to know more about the difference between just content and packaging because I can't really grab the difference
"Document vs Create". "Ideas are shit, execution is the game". The amount of ideas I'm sitting on, the amount of excuses why I'll do it tomorrow...
These were literally the two biggest takeaways I took away from it too! You can dream of a better world but that means nothing if you don't try to create it!!
Gary man, so good. All right the main takeaways are just be myself, quit trying to look good on camera, quit overthinking everything, putt in the reps, have the self awareness to know what the hell I'm good at and then get out there and document the journey. There's nothing wrong with it not being polished or flowing the way that I perceive it should. Just let it be, but keep refining my craft, keep listening to my inner message, keep expressing authentically and giving what I believe to be my gift or my true talents. Don't be afraid of the work, always improve by learning constantly about my industry and every aspect of it and then share it to the world. Thanks man I'll see you someday in person
I'm 22 and this is the best advice I ever heard, I'm so glad that I have a chance to reach my future aspirations knowing there is still time to get where I want my future self to be!
If theres one thing I learned out of every Gary Vee clip is that fucking everybody's trynna do this shit man, it takes a lot more than just trying to mentally manifest, and action is the only thing that gets shit really moving forward.
The Devils Grass it’s amazing that the combination of the two (mind manifest + action) has always proved itself in human history.
Exactly right brother. My channel is just starting out but I really feel like you may be able to get some really valuable advice from the videos I plan to post. Give me a subscribe and lets help each other out.
your words have been spoken into existence @Nick Wilkinson
There is many universal element that contribute to success, from the right mindset, potential, doing the right thing at the right place and right time.
But the most important thing is always what everyone know by instinct but few dare to act on it with consistency and perseverance -@ "Karma". Because if you do, you become someone who carry the sin of the world on your shoulder at a "problem solving and proactive stance" Not "indulge yourself". That is who people like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Gary Vaychuck, Tony Robbins (or Superman and Captain America). It is why we both love them and hate them at the same time.
what year was that?
I look at it like this. Whether its life, friendships, relationships or just creating something in general, its about building a fire. I know so many people that throw a log down, put lighter fluid on it and toss a match on top and expect long term warmth or brightness. I'd like to say that if you're gonna build a fire that you want the whole world to see and have warmth by, you're gonna need consistent additions of the little things. The little things would be kindling. Every day/week going out in the woods and finding the twigs and branches, coming back to the fire and adding them. Every once in a while though you will come across something big like a log to add, which is obviously needed. But remember to tend to your fire, nobody else will. For everybody that does build their fire, there's 100 others who left the fire behind for the river of the status quo. Protect your dreams, protect your fire.

Great comment! "Berrt, whether you like it or not!"
a huge issue, all the time. is making the decision...too many options, frozen in place...but my take away is to shove my face in whatever I need to do...no excuses...and forget the what if's and if only's and produce...all I ever THINK on should be mobilized and at least tried before defeat sets in...patience in results is the biggest problem...but pondering and stagnation have obviously not worked...get in it...get on it...and RESPECT THE PROCESS (just saw your interview with Logic)...your content is poweful stuff...I'm impressed most about how much you do in a day even...and as much as I hate complaining, I am seeing, just watching these various clips, how much can be accomplished when real hits the road.
SERIOUS RESPECT
Weather You Like It Or Not you have stated something that will hold good for all time.
I really like that analogy thank you for sharing.
oh that's good man. Nicely said @berrt
takeaway: idk if its just me, but I could kinda see the dudes energy sort of leave as you explained the process it would take.We are too used to instant gratification. Thats why you see Gary filled with fuel everyday because he worked for this.He actually put the work in
I took away the same thing I always tell people I am good at. Executing the plan is the key to success. I listen to peoples plans all around me and when I find the right people with the right plans I always find the path to money. Love Gary’s view point. I am very like minded to him. I just don’t operate in the public eye.
Ideas are shit. Execution is the game.
Alfredo Rodriguez vague advice. Ideas are underrated and execution is plain dumb
^ just another broke bum making himself feel good
Always Overthinking everything. By far the hardest hitter here : "Document vs create". Eye opener... that's for sure
Yeah, that quote was definitely interesting.
im a over thinker for sure
@Zia Ul Hassan Somroo well in my humble opinion, the way i took is when you document, there's less pressure for it to look perfect , you are just recording and sharing. sometimes when you are told to create somethin you put too much pressure on yourself and self block yourself.
Same
@Zia Ul Hassan Somroo it is what Gary has been preaching for a long time. Most of the time we think that in order to put content you need to have editing skills ( premiere, final cut Pro ect ) and top cameras but most of the content nowadays are raw filming like vlogging. So don't overthinking and try to create content just vlog everything ( your day for example ) and post it . The middle no man land is what are killing people. Just do it . The difference between successful and unsuccessful people is action so you just need to take action . don't overthink everything
I just started documenting (video) my work in my business on fb and I get nervous as anyone can see cause I’m worried about what others think. What I’m hearing is just be me. Know me and don’t front. A lot of times I’m always trying to find the right words to say and my words come out like shit! Lol I will get better at being me! I started a lawn business with a borrowed push mower cause I had just got out of prison in 2010 and had no value making $8 an hour for a dry cleaner. I knew I was created for more but didn’t know what. I always heard about using an idea (something you might not like or want or hate lol) to start something until to the next idea (something you love) , so now 8 years later the company brings in over $200k a year! I do now love what I do! I follow you cause you give real honest advice and had to work from the ground up and not to many people have! I appreciate you and all you say! Thanks Gary!
@Mike Santo sure I would.. trying to sell me a dream that’s bullshit. I wonder if Gary would buy this.. if he does.. I will! Lol
it's November 2019 and i'm 69 years old - We did not have all this internet HELP when I was going through " The School of Hard Knox " You people should listen to this guy as i just finished watching 2 of his videos and i think he is sharp. P.S. First time to ever comment.
F Wm Armstrong thank you for sharing!

Ideas are shit... execution is everything
A college professor of mine (ex-accountant) talked about how some people are good at creating original businesses, but less interested in running them for long. They create the business and then sell it, and then go onto the next. However even those people must act twice or thrice the amount of time they "think" it. Ideas are "shit" in the same sense as flour and water taste bland, you have to go out and bake the bread :)
Destroyer Inazuma I like that :)
Problem is... ideas don't come to us fully formed. It becomes more clearer as we get start and walk in like going along a dark cave.
This is my problem. As a programmer I have tons of ideas on my 5th idea now and realized it's all about execution. Ideas aint shit until you can give birth. Just like @Pubudu it's like walking into a dark cave by yourself.
Yup. Agree 100%. I've always been a thinker. The uber succesful people I know Just Do It. They make a ton of mistakes in the beginning, but they do it and are succesful.
I could really relate to many of the questions and I think that my biggest takeaway is that I don't have to start putting together a team yet but, I should improve myself and take time to understand where I want my ideas to go. Also, the idea of "document" made me realize that I could be using my time much more effectively.
Look man, from this video, and many other videos that you put out, the one thing I hear and relate to is the fact that you need to figure out yourself before you can have a team. Get your shit together before you worry about anything else. That is my ultimate struggle. I'm 33 and still don't have a grasp on who I am, while at the same time struggling financially and mentally, trying to build a brand and nothing seems to come together because I just don't have myself together, which becomes very disheartening. Thank you for your inspiration my man!
Biggest Takeaway: This entire video reminded me not to be afraid of the world. Not in that I'm allergic to the sun or something, but in that it reminded me that there is nothing wrong with just going out and talking to people, embracing the surroundings we're given. The world is big and small all at the same time, and crazy things can happen to you on a daily basis, it's really just about allowing them to happen. Rather than shutting myself inside for a day worrying about how I'm going to be successful, I needed to remember that success requires action, talking, exploring, doing- not just thinking.
Big facts!
Real stuff
Biggest takeaway - talking about the journey and the climb can be a winner - you don't have to be polished and acting as if you know everything - authenticity as to who/where you are is 👍🏼
Definitely, as a fellow content creator I struggle with the same thing at times. We just gotta put it all out there.
I certainly agree!
Authenticity is more important, but if I read a book or watched a video with loads of 'ers' and 'erms', I would get annoyed quite quickly.
Exactly. Embrace your journey.
I think this advice works for older people starting something new as well. You never know when a new passion will sweep you up!
biggest takeaway is be intentional in the truths and insights and value you share to people. Anyone can randomly share an amazing quote, but to what extent have you either lived that truth, insight or have experienced it in any form. it's the intention in what you do.
“Document vs. Create” is a huge takeaway for me. I will have ideas for videos I want to post just vlogging stuff in my life and then I talk myself out of posting them. I keep thinking “no one really cares about this. I’m not doing anything very interesting,” but I know I need to and should post. Just hearing you give the reassurance that everything I post doesn’t have to be so novel or extremely creative is reassuring.
The strong point that I took away from this video is that when your working to get anywhere you need to show up. I play football and when I dont want to put in the work, I don't show up. But after watching this I realized that I can't do that. I need to show up to everything. Whether it's in season or not. If I want a starting position I'm going to need to put in that work and get off my lazy fucking ass and "show the fuck up". And I'll use this for everything too. I'll use it for school, sports ect. This is the point you need to get across to all the people that watch your shit. Cuz most people (like me) want a better life but they stop trying after a few week go by.
nice words. Keep at it bro!
Document instead of create!!!!!! Priceless!!!
Salute!
Stopping procrastination and get it done are alot of people's problems in this world that has kicked the shit out of alot of good people. Gary your the shit bro I love your content and the way you generally give it to everyone straight no Bs.
'DONT FRONT"... was probably the biggest point made. More often than not, people appreciate you being real with them, you have to be authentic.
"tell the truth, talk about your journey."
It was so simple and I never even realized it but when you said ppl always complain that they don't have money but if somebody was to give them money for whatever it was they wouldn't know what to do with it that really blew my mind
1 takeaway: “if you want to be respected and well known, you have to show the fuck up!” This is 🔑!! If you want to be someone, ppl have to know who you are. And you have to know who you are. Im working on it and love it man. Thank you Gary Vee!
Honestly the fact that this video is 5 years old as I’m watching it right now, but yet it’s still relevant and can speak to me today, is the biggest take away for me. Because it just reiterates everything that was said. One thing specifically from the video that stood out to me though was documenting the process. Cause even today, 5 years later, I found myself thinking about how I don’t see a lot of people’s behind the scenes. It’s more of, let me post what I aspire to be as a means to manifest that lifestyle or be more attractive to people. I actually started recorded myself, just vlogging about what I’m doing or feeling as I’m going through the process of reaching my dreams, but I started thinking it was stupid. That no one is even going to care. Then a week later I’m stumbling across this video telling me the complete opposite. This video was like a hug and a slap in the face at the same time. I needed to hear all of it. I’ve spent the majority of my life giving way too many fucks about what other people are going to think about what I’m doing with my life. It’s gotten me nowhere. Why would I continue down that same mental state of living. What I decide to put out into the world could be affecting people 5 years down the road. That’s incredible. Gary Vee, thank you for being the kind of light in the world that I aspire to be.
"People aren't starting. They're pondering; they're thinking; they're strategizing." Wow. That's insightful. As a content creator, I do often think about how to put out quality on Instagram and Tumblr and Twitter. This video really changed my perspective.
Steven Partridge Same!
Same. just have start and DO!
when u said don't think just do. my problem is that I try to strategize too much and end up not doing anything because I'm so meticulous about how something should be done. then I get discouraged from even doing it. so basically I need to just do
same here. actually, it seems like that's what most everyone else is also saying.
that's it. too much about waiting for the big idea. just try it, get the idea out there. learn first adjust after.
+bafinneg yo u said it. I'm definitely adopting this philosophy now as we speak on my channel.
+OxygenBeats it's a common mistake among us I guess lol. but thanks to Gary I sure everyone will catch on real quick
I totally agree, I think it's getting to the stage of fuck it it doesn't have to be exactly perfect just get started and get better on the way. Easy to say but harder to make it a new way of life
Take away: there are so many ideas and content that can be utilized from people around you. We don’t have to struggle with creating our own completely unique content. Over complication stops execution, which is of utmost important to move forward in any aspect of your life. Extremely insightful and motivated. As always thank you 🙏.
I’m watching this video five years later, and it is still so extremely relevant. What I grasped from this meeting was not overextending yourself creatively or production wise.
Gary, for me it was the statement you made about "being fucking real." That's how you get the attention. Don't put out content that all cookie cutter. That resinated with me well. I am 41 years old, and I have been watching your youtubes and listening to your podcast. I woke up this morning at 4am and sat my desk feeling like shit. However, I realized I need to get connected. This video definitely got me moving my ass and stopped me from feeling sorry for myself and worrying about shit. Most importantly, as you mentioned to the young man, "before you start building a team, you need to know yourself, and get yourself together first." I am a certified PMP, and I was inspired by the advice that you gave a gentleman during one of your daily Vs about developing content at scale..."you need 5 things, audio, video, designer, writer, and the top a PM..Project Manager / Architect." I am a retired Army Vet, and former Green Beret. I am working on an app (PMP Exam Hacks - Pocket Mentor) to help aspiring project managers prepare for the PMP exam and obtain their PMP certification. I've been working on it for the past 3 weeks, with a DEV TM aboard, and so far things are going as planned. I am doing shit, but I don't have all the answers. ??? Which of your CZcamss should I watch to help with this process??? Thanks for putting out real shit!!
Christopher McPhee hey don't just limit yourself to just one source of information. If anything, try reddit. Nuggets of gold there in terms of business and other subjects.
Hi Christopher, I just watched this video for the first time and something pushed me to read your post. First and foremost, Thank you for your service to our Country. Second, It's 2 months later brother, how's your progress coming along? did you find the answers that you were looking for? What have you done to get connected? I don't know you and you don't know me but please believe I personally want you to WIN. Let's get real and let's get connected. The world needs to see and hear your real story. Blessing on Blessing to you and your family.
Biggest takeaway:
Do no try to oversell yourself. It is smarter to talk about the process you are going through than to give an advice. That will get you more attention.
what exactly does he mean with "the process" ?
The way to your goal.
I interpret it as admiting and having the courage to say that I am on the way to my goals rather than faking that I have already achieved them.
@@eddy12ization oh yeah totally get that now. Thx buddy
I’m glad I didn’t click this link czcams.com/video/_AqEzudc1zs/video.html
Doing and executing resonates and generates more from within and externally
My one takeaway is that content doesn't always have to come from inside... we're surrounded by it.... and what I need to do TODAY is make sure the world gets to hear it.. from me... thanks Gary!!!
I like this guy. he doesn't bullshit you. people don't like the truth that's why people feel uncomfortable when they talk to him lol.
The main takeaway for me is:
1.Really know yourself. Dont live in an imagining yourself being smb else!
2. You need to work on u before u worry about a team!!
Man, great interview and exchange of ideas gary. I love watching you talk to people because your focused on them and the whole time your analyzing them… their responses, body language, delivery, posture, etc. we miss soo much valuable info when we dont take all of that in and just hear their words. You get in the moment with them.
When you said you dont have to creat just document… thats gold man in sooo many ways. Just the word create puts a sense of pressure on people to perform and work super hard to make something up. Im like you in that I theive on unscripted interactions that are just real. When its unscripted it goes where it should naturally because there is no expectation or framework to follow. It actually drives me crazy when i watch video that have fancy editing and intros and outros and transitions… it takes away from the raw content!! Then all you hear from content creators is how longbot takes and how much work it is… if an interview is 30 minutes long it should take 30 minutes plus the time it takes to upload, thats it! Let the message speak and dont distract people with fancy equipment, stupid lighting and backdrops. The worst is when “content coaches” teach others how to do all this BS too. The actual message almost always gets lost or watered down. I genuinely hope you have a great day Gary 🤙.
The best piece of advice that I took away from this video was the podcasting comment at the end. I've just ordered a microphone today and am in the process of starting my own podcast and when you said, "podcasts work because they interview other people" I went omg that's fucking genius. Thank you Gary you're a legend.
Main Takeaway is:
Document vs. Create
It doesn't always have to be your thoughts and words every time.
The truth
Leo Cuteno same for me 👌🏼
Document when you are struggling to create! That's genius!
stephencoxbass Yes, people like authenticity. @FitnesssWealth
The thing I took away for you video is not wasting a week ,making each a topic and go from there timing is key and there’s always a way to make it in any industry. I subscribed today because I’ve seen a few clips are you are real and to the point .
That I don’t have to be the sole content creator 100% of the time. The distribution/facilitation of other people that can produce quality content is just as vital to the growth of the brand.
Thank you Gary. Im new to your community, but I fuck with everything that comes out of your noggin. ✌🏻
"You can't create? Distribute." YES!
"money is not the problem. It's how your looking at the world"
If my landlord doesn't get his rent on time, I'll be looking at the world without a roof over my head.
Money is probably less of a problem when you have a shit-ton of it.
One of the many takeaways from this video is that "IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE YOUR THOUGHTS EVERYTIME." You've got to start going out there, meet people, document and be patient. Just love the process and talk about the journey or how you're going through the process. This is awesome!
I like when you said in interviews you say things or ask questions and pay attention to the response. The way people respond especially to critical criticism is very telling.
"Ideas are shit, execution is the game".
It's smarter to talk to the world about the process of going through this, then the advice that you think should giving them.
Golden nugget!!!!
Bang on!
“You just go to put yourself out there” simply as that💪🏽
Document vs create, recently open my own business. I’m a mechanic and I like showing the work I do and how I do it. One so people can trust me but also we live in era where seeing a video might make you want to chose some one or something over another. That spoke volumes to me.
Focus on 'you' before you focus on 'others'.
Yes, an amazing advice. I wished somebody could give it to me when I was 20! tnx
So true. I think self-improvement is key, especially when you're young. It's like you should be more selfish earlier in life so you can be in a better position to give later in life. I think Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are great examples of this.
Yeah, thats mine main takeaway too. I'd love to hear more on that. Like what should you know, what questions to ask yourself etc.
this what i liked too. i mean the entire video is something that I'll be playing many times in the next few days, but this stood out for me.
I'm searching for my next thing... and i am the next thing i should focus on first.
I like where your head is at
