3 Quotes from Gary Vaynerchuk to Help You Achieve More
This serial entrepreneur demands that you get what you deserve, but only if you’re willing to put in the work.
I would have never started writing or vlogging without Gary Vaynerchuk.
He taught me so much about life through his motivational speeches I found on YouTube one day. Next thing I know, I’m listening to him when I wake up, when I shower, before bed, literally 25/8.
If I met Gary and had a moment to speak to him, I’d cry tears of joy because he changed my life and gave me permission to take control of it.
My goal is for these three quotes to help change your life too.
Quote #1
“Even if your ambitions are huge, start slow, start small, build gradually, build smart.”
— Gary Vaynerchuk
Many people, especially young entrepreneurs, want big things to happen fast. I can’t argue with them. Sometimes I think lightyears ahead to the point when I hit 25k followers.
Say you want to start your blog.
You may want to have 5,000 people reading your work and asking you questions about when your next book was coming out, right?
It’s not wrong to visualize your goals and to crave success. Just don’t let your emotions control you and force you to quit prematurely.
In anything in life, start small and maintain your vision. You will eventually get to your destination; just don’t rush the process.
Quote #2
“Developing your personal brand is the same thing as living and breathing your résumé”
— Gary Vaynerchuk
Nowadays, everyone is trying to build a personal brand, including myself.
What’s the use of being connected on social media and other platforms if you don’t make your mark?
It’s important to be proud of the work you do and the work you’ve done. That’s because you are living and breathing your resume. Let your actions speak for themselves.
When you’re proud of the work you do, you gain new skills and insights. Fulfillment comes over you, and the sky is the limit.
Whatever you share on social media is exactly can be something you leverage for work.
For example, if you wrote a book and everyone on your social media accounts knows that you’re all-in on writing, it’s easy to share what you’re doing with all of them.
Many individuals dislike talking about their resumes because they let it define them.
When you take charge of your life, and you can write your own resume every single day — filled with accomplishments that you are proud of.
It’s more than possible, especially in this day in age.
Quote #3
“Skills are cheap, passion is priceless.”
— Gary Vaynerchuk
Anyone can learn a skill, but no one can buy passion.
It has to come from deep within you. There are always going to be people grinding in whichever skill they’re dedicating themselves to. But not all of them will stick to it because they’re in it for the short-term.
When you’re passionate about a skill you’re working on, you’ve won 99% of the battle.
The other 1% has to come with your hard work, which technically shouldn’t feel like pulling teeth because you’re passionate about what you do.
Let your actions speak for themselves because nobody has more control of your life besides yourself.
Remember that there is opportunity everywhere, so when you have a burning fire inside you to make your dreams happen, go all in.
No matter what age or which part of the world you are, you can apply Gary Vaynerchuk’s philosophies into your life.
The only person truly in control of your life at the end of the day is you.
You are the only one who can choose to achieve or to concede.
Put in the work and watch your life slowly start to feel like a dream come true.
