What a lot of people don't understand is, speed in business comes from great internal culture. The biggest things that will make your company go fast are 1) continuity and 2) lack of politics.

That's why it doesn't matter how "great" an employee's numbers are if he or she makes all the other employees miserable. If they constantly spread negativity or drag other employees down, it doesn't matter to me how good they are on paper.

If you're the CEO of a company, it's imperative that you go audit every single employee in your company, and figure out which ones make the other employees miserable. It doesn't matter if it's your number one salesperson, your best developer, or even your co-founder.

Cancer spreads.

And if you have people in your company that are cancerous, you have to get rid of them no matter how much revenue they bring in.

Back in the day when I was starting they swore that being nice was a weakness …

A lot of people actually tried to talk me out of turning employees into family .. they said, "Gary, you're too nice. It's not gonna work out."

But I never believed them, not for one second .. no matter how much money they had or how much I believed in them.

And more importantly, I was willing to leave unbelievable amounts of money on the table to feel good about my day-to-day, my life, and who I was.

My friends .. kindness is ROI positive .. you can build an empire and be an unbelievable business person without compromising kindness.

Pls share this with one person who needs it today!

The biggest truth in the world 🌎 is that you're 100% in control of your life and you are not trapped or stuck ... and yet ... the world has got you all convinced that it's the reverse

As we head into 2026 .. pls remember .. you are in control ❤️

If you're unhappy at your job .. if you hate your boss .. instead of doing whatever the f*ck you normally do for 4 hours .. go on LinkedIn and email 100 people. 

Update your LinkedIn account .. post content about your expertise. You can do sh*t instead of just complaining. 

Complaining is, “My boss will never let me succeed.” Are you out of your f*cking mind?? Your boss at a random company? There are 87 trillion companies .. quit! 

At the end of the day, if you want to be happy, pls understand .. you're in control.

You have ONE life. Do something about it.

Stop micromanaging dumb sh*t that actually doesn't matter.

Owners and managers .. the micromanaging of "Whatya doing right now?" or the obsession over if employees are being productive at home is hurting you!

When it comes to managing my employees, giving them space to breathe, knowing who they really are, being respectful of their time and privacy matters the most to me.

Leading with fear, scaring people, or controlling people is messed up .. that negativity needs to be flipped to get the outcome you need.

Trust wins, spying loses.

Give your people room .. don't micromanage .. all this f*cking intensity that just brings no value.

Let your employees f*cking breathe and then you'll really see who they are!

Building a great culture starts with surrounding yourself with individuals who show humanity, kindness, and positivity.

As a leader, it's important to not "look the other way" when certain individuals are negatively impacting the team's culture, especially if they are "top performers" on paper.

If you're looking for something special to happen, it's supposed to be hard.

The second you allow the word "easy" to come into your head when you're building something, it's game over.

I see all of these kids and they're like, "Gary, this is so hard..." I'm like, do you understand that you're asking for a 1% life in being an entrepreneur that stands on her or his own feet?

Everything's out of whack. Do I think there are many unlimited opportunities out there? Yes, I do. But do I think there's anything easy about standing on your own two feet and having all of that pressure on your chest in perpetuity? No, I do not.

The second you want something fast is the second I'll show you something that's vulnerable: a relationship, a business, a platform... Speed is the enemy to so many right now.

Life is ups and downs for everyone...

The reality is most people aren’t joyful because they aren’t reacting to the “down times” well…once you get cozy with the dirt, the bad, the garbage, the issues, that’s when shit gets good 😉

Audit the sh*t out of what you consume and who you hang with.

It's just real! Who you hang out with determines your future success... so surround yourself with positive people who support you.

Support paired with accountability is always a winning formula.

New rule ‼️‼️‼️‼️ no looking back anymore! So many of you didn’t have the 2025 you wanted because you….

Dwelled
Over analyzed
Regretted
And most of all … BLAMED everyone but yourself ….

Friends, it’s time to change your perspective… no looking back .. adjust and adapt to whatever is given to you … because …. You’re capable of it ❤️

I fire every single person that is not a good human being regardless of how much money she or he makes for me. 

If you’re a leader, I promise you this… you better go home and audit every single employee you have and figure out which employee makes the other employees miserable. I don’t give a sh*t if it’s your number one salesperson, your best developer, or your cofounder… cancer spreads. 

There is no quicker way to f*ck everything up than to look the other way when you have someone who is talented and contributing, but is a garbage human. 

Period.

I know a lot of companies and employees are trying to figure out how to balance in office/ remote work … pros and cons to so many of the sides .. but man .. the osmosis to learn and the efficiencies of learning and getting certain things done ✔️ really plays out so differently in person than on zoom and slack .. interesting times ahead for CEOs and employees as we all figure it “out”

There's no right or wrong, there's just what works for you

Comment below .. what are your thoughts on remote work?

#companyculture #remotework #workfromhome

It’s action time … you all know what you need to do .. it’s time to actually do … the talk time is over - go do .. show up.. put in the time and work and effort and don’t fear the failure, fear the regret of talking and never doing anything about it … you got this … I believe in you ❤️♥️

Taking a job for less pay…
Selling your big house for a smaller house when appropriate, or even renting…
Leaving a job that isn’t right for you even though you’ve been there for 7 years…
Taking a lesser title even though the business is better…

The fear of “going backwards” is hurting people.. but the “step back” is often the thing that launches people into happiness .. but their fear of judgement on the step back is stopping them from that happiness.

It’s unfortunate because a lot of that is based on society's current POV and judgement - not people's true decisions. 

Time to block out the noise and lean into your truth. Choose humility and grit and inconvenience for a period of time to get to your joy ❤️❤️☀️💛💛💛

You don't build culture by offering free snacks or a gym membership.

You build culture by talking to people and understanding what they care about.

Leaders work for their employees, not the other way around. That means you have to understand what your employees want at a deep level. You have to be constantly adapting to their needs and what they want from the organization.

Listening to employees, having one-on-one meetings, catering to what they want, taking the blame, and being the bigger person... that's how you win.

It doesn’t matter what you call your company.

McDonald’s is a junk food restaurant. But if you didn’t know McDonald’s and heard the name, it sounds like an Irish pub. Like, what is Google? The f*ck is Nike?

People are overthinking things that don’t matter.. Like a name. What actually matters is that you’re going to execute on that name. 

My personal brand name, publicly, is the stupidest thing of all time. It’s GaryVee, with two silent e’s.

My friends, it’s not the name. It’s just execution.

Finding the balance between work and family is a challenge for so many.. the reality is, when it comes to work-life balance, you're your only judge!

Make sure you're making decisions that make sense for you and your circumstances, and don't listen to pressure from outside voices of where you "should" be spending your time.

I hope this convo on work life balance hits for some of you and really allows you to be kinder to yourself !!!

I'm not a big fan of dwelling without action.

I've got a very basic thesis: if I find myself in a situation where I'm unhappy, either I do something about it, or—if I've decided I don't want to do something about it—I keep my mouth shut, because there's too much energy wasted on dwelling.

It's pretty simple, my friends: complaining gets you nowhere.

If you're super unhappy—if you wake up every morning dreading going to work—you have several options. You can, while you still have that job, start something else on the side and let it build... or you can quit and start something new right away... or you can stay the course and have regret when you're older... or figure out how to get your joy elsewhere.

That's it. That's the game.

You’ve got options—you just need to take action. Dwelling and talking about it does nothing.

If this hits for you, let's use this post to inspire you to address that sh*t once and for all. Who’s in?

You have to make a decision: are you going to stay at a job you hate just to maximize your salary and not give a f*ck about the cons, or are you going to go find a job that pays you a little bit less but gives you the freedom you’re looking for?

For a long time, it was “maximize money.” Now, it’s about maximizing happiness and opportunity. Nobody’s forcing you to work anywhere. Life is about decisions. The great thing is, you’re in charge.

Nothing is technically broken yet, but the clock is already moving faster than anyone realizes. Decisions stall, payroll is at risk, cash flow is collapsing, and exposure, whether financial, legal, or personal, is rising. Leadership is under pressure that is already unsustainable, and every day of delay makes outcomes harder to control.

At this stage, hesitation is the real risk. Action is the only way to stabilize the business, prepare it for an orderly sale or restructuring, or exit cleanly before the situation spirals further. There is no other outcome.

This is not advice or reassurance. Critical decisions are made quickly. Non-essential activity is paused. Risks are contained, and focus is placed entirely on protecting what can be saved. Sentiment is removed, and reality leads.

Before any intervention begins, one question must be answered. If nothing changes in the next sixty days, what breaks? If the answer is clear, action is required immediately. If not, the business still has time to act on its own.

The window to act is short. Every day of hesitation increases risk and reduces options.

A Friend Called Me from His Truck.

He had just pulled over.
His hands were shaking.
His voice was flat.

“I can’t do this anymore.”

He ran a construction company.
7 crews. 2 offices. 42 employees.

“I’m the first one in every morning.
I’m the last one out.
I haven’t taken a weekend off in three years.
I make less than my foreman.”

He wasn’t lazy.
He was lost in his own business.

He didn’t need better equipment.
He needed a better blueprint.

Most business owners I met are like him.
They are excellent at their craft.
Terrible at designing a business that works without them.

So they trade time for money.
And call it “being the boss.”

We spent 90 days not growing his business.
We spent 90 days redesigning it.

We mapped his Single Profit Loop:
From lead to invoice to cash in the bank.
We removed him from every step that didn’t require his genius.

Month 4, he took a Wednesday off.
Month 6, he hired a general manager.
Month 12, he sold the company for 7 figures.

The business didn’t break when he stepped back.
It finally worked.

You don’t need to work harder in your business.
You need to design a better one.

The piece demonstrates his credibility, experience, and emotional insight, showing why he is uniquely qualified to step in when leaders are paralyzed, and the cost of delay is critical.

I’m Alex Moses. I’ll fully introduce myself in a moment. But first, I need to explain the moment that permanently broke my tolerance for drifting. I r
