I hope this really “hits” for some...

Too many don’t realize real time and real elimination of fear are at the core of a great culture and a great culture creates great companies...

For many of you, you have less than 20 employees… you should be able to ace this ..

Share this with someone who owns a business or has a large team 💜❣️

Chairman – VaynerX, CEO – VaynerMedia, Creator – VeeFriends

Huge shout out to the people on the right .. I respect you … to the people on the left … you’re only fooling yourself and the others who live in fear 😨….

Stop talking, start executing

Please give yourself grace. You're trying.

No one is better than you .. real talk.

If you give me any birthday gift today, promise me that this is the moment you all decide to stop beating yourself up ❤️

Listen ... talent, serendipity, moments and timing all matter ... but let there be no confusion .... 99% of the people who "make it" or the people many of you aspire to be are out-working you .. are working much harder than you think when you don't see them.

Work ethic matters, friends .. of course you need to balance it, but for the things many say they want .. it's hard work that is the missing ingredient ❤️

If you hate your job, tonight, 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 in financial services .. or in real estate .. or in bagel-making .. and let somebody find you. 

You can do sh*t instead of 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! 

Pound LinkedIn until your next job comes that pays you more so that you can leave. 

You. Can. Do. It.

Whether I have to write it on a napkin or post it here on LinkedIn, the message is the same… 

many of you are messing up, fear is fake but also holding you back, it’s time !

Go do your thing. Enough of the excuses and the fear, it’s time!

I turn 50 in less than 2 weeks .. and here's a message for those of you 50 and up.

You have a lot more time than you think.

It is super appropriate for you to start that business that you've always wanted right now. It is actually quite practical .. you probably actually have a much deeper understanding of what to do to be successful than the average 25-year-old that's rolling into my office looking for dollars to start their business because they've got an idea..

If I could just take the energy in my heart to deploy it into so many people's brains to understand how much time is still left in your life to do your thing .. that would make me very happy.

You may have 50—that's right, with modern medicine—you may have 50 more good years of executing .. 40 for sure!

I really think .. knock on wood .. so many of you reading this have 40 full, big years. Think back to when you were 10 .. from that moment until right now, all that life .. you've gone on the back end and people are trying to "wind down" and figure out how they're going to slow it down or "wrap it up" ..

F*ck wrapping it up, man.. Start it up!

Today I turn 50 … now that I am a wise man 😂 I thought I would share a few things here on LinkedIn that I hope can help someone today .. would mean a lot to me if you leave a comment with which one of these really hit 🎯 for you :)

PS: I go live today at garyvee.com/50 at 1pm ET -

Come see me do a live stream on TikTok that maybe will help you learn how to do one for yourself or your business

Today I turn 50 years old...

I need today to be the day you change up who you listen to, what you listen to, and where you allow your brain 🧠 and soul to go...

This is the start of the last month of the year .. read this page from “the book” 📕 and understand the biggest truth in the world 🌎

FEAR IS FAKE … and “they" use it against you to stop 🛑 you from your joy!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

One of the things that has really allowed me to "win" is not wanting it fast.

Everyone's in a rush to "make it" .. but crushing it is actually more about patience than you think

I actually don't think making it faster is a good thing .. most people really struggle with understanding that, often times, the faster "it" happens, the more vulnerable it is.

Slow down. You've got time

Either you'll hear 👂 me now or you’ll hear 👂 me when in the future...

But the quicker you act on realizing you have to attack life, not let it happen to you, is the quicker you'll enjoy this journey versus wasting it on stress and anxiety and worry ❤️

Most new managers think that becoming a manager is the “graduation.”

Truth is, it’s the reverse.

Leaders work for their employees.

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.

When you go from being someone who “executes” to someone who’s managing a team, you go from trading on IQ to trading on EQ.

You go from doing the actual work to listening to employees, catering to what they want, taking the blame, and being the bigger person.

No excuses … 

all you need is 1 example, and if you can’t find it … 

BE the example.

If you have toxic employees within your organization, you'll have other employees who are scared to have meetings with them. You'll have people who are spending time navigating discussions with those employees rather than actually executing. 

Your people will be spending time on politics, not on execution. 

When you build a culture where people feel safe and excited to come to work, they won't worry about dealing with other employees as much. 

When they're not spending any time worrying, they're spending time executing. If they don't have to spend 15 minutes a day bickering or figuring out who's trying to "ruin" them, they're free to come up with new ideas and actually do the job they were hired to do.

Whatever is bothering you right now, take a breathe, be grateful for what is going well and realize what you can and can’t control. If you can’t control it, let it go and focus on what you can control, which at least is your “gratitude scale” ❤️❤️❤️

You will not be replaced by AI, but...

Demonizing new technology is holding you back.

This is what happened in '96, '97, '98... I watched the biggest companies in the world get folded because they refused to respect that the internet was here..

Now, AI is here, and you need to do something about it .. learn it .. use it .. understand it ..

If you were fired, be grateful...

Kiss the ground and thank the heavens for the opportunity to get somewhere better! This goes for jobs but this also goes for relationships in any different form.

Be thankful you’re on to the next chapter ❤️❤️❤️ share this with a someone that needs to hear it.

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 it’s the reverse …. 

My friends, pls save this video and use it when you need it most ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Oh, and pls share this with a friend who you know needs it ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Pls comment - in the comments - I’m in control … if this hit 🎯 for you ✅

Money, fame and power don't change who someone is ... they expose who someone is.

In the last 10-15 years, I've had the luxury of being in some pretty rare air with wildly successful people .. many of whom are more successful than me financially and fame-wise, and I'm telling you.. money is just a catalyst... the problem is, it can be a catalyst for bad.

This is the great trick of our society. People are addicted to the idea that money is going to solve all of their problems, but I've literally watched people get money and get way worse .. especially if they didn't earn their money.

Money exposes your truth. All it will do is expedite how fast people figure out who you really are, whether it's for better or for worse.
