#2: Stop Judging People and Get To Work
Manage episode 415543485 series 3571010
I met Gary Vaynerchuk in the early stages of his company, VaynerMedia. We were collaborating on a project. My impression of him: Fast talker. Opinionated. Had all the answers. Blowhard.
Fast forward to today: Gary has 4.5 million YouTube followers. He commands $200,000 per speaking gig.
What changed in Gary? As far as I can tell, nothing. He’s the same guy: Fast talker. Opinionated. Has all the answers.
When I see Gary Vee's success—his millions of followers and how much money he makes for one speaking gig—I reflect on my judging him. The time I spent critiquing, he spent getting to work: Publishing content. Writing books. Helping people. Sharing.
He did his work relentlessly and unapologetically.
Every tool that he has available to him, I have available to me. Right now. Everything is in my control.
Why am I not commanding $200k like Gary? Simple. I don’t want it like he does. But I can’t judge him for that. If you find yourself comparing or judging others. Take a minute to look at yourself. It’s never about them. It’s always about you. These are the hard conversations that we must have to create breakthrough progress.
