Charging Clients, Personal Brand or Business Brand & Advice to a Senior in College |

[@chikusharma4071]

I made my parents sit beside me and watch this. They wanted me to do engineering and get a job. Now they want me to continue writing my next novel. I'm in senior year of high school graduating this year. Gary you've changed my life. :)

[@SK.brando]

Chiku Sharma 2 years later... how did it turn out for you??

[@SaudiMajix]

wondering where are you now ^^

[@milomanza1744]

where you at

[@MistereXMachina]

where you at bro

[@TheRajeeRaj]

Seeing a lot of "fear of failing" or "family acceptance" comments on the video, and other GV vids. Please listen to me.....you need to push through that fear/pain. I just turned 40 this month and I can't tell you the level of regret I have for not following my own path 10 or 15 years ago. Despite doing great in my career, all I can think about is what I could have done had I put aside those same issues, and had confidence in myself. Now, at 40, I'm starting from scratch on pursuing my own path, and helping others to do the same...those thoughts (even at my age) still creep in, but now I have the confidence to tell myself to shut the f*ck up. TRUST ME....the "fear" or "pain" you think you have now is nothing compared to the regret you will feel later. Your Parents will love you no matter what, trust me. The people who judge you for trying or failing, they will never ever support you even if you take the conventional route. The will not pay your mortgage. They will not pay your bills. They will not be there when you fall down. So STOP CARING what they think. Quote to remember this "The last day you have on Earth, the person you became will meet the person you could have become".

[@azizaasha44]

Rajee Raj you just spoke to my life! I have been doubting myself for years and finally decided to go for it! Blessings to you and success to your business!

[@sxerosie]

Thank you for sharing, this is what I needed. All the best brother!

[@TheRajeeRaj]

Aziza DeBrossard I'm happy to hear it helped! Best of luck!!

[@DevonWayne]

Last Call 28:30 - Nate {UPDATE} "Nate Johnson {1/24/2017 @ 1pm PST} Yeah. I talked with my mom. I slept peacefully last night. 18 months here I come!"

[@NateJohnson101]

So worth it

[@EricSilverstein_Determined]

Best of luck Nate! When you do something you are passionate about, it's never work.

[@FLUTV]

Devon Wayne good stuff man , act like if those 18 months are the last months of your life & just do it!

[@FLUTV]

Devon Wayne good stuff man , act like if those 18 months are the last months of your life & just do it!

[@AlexCio]

just reminds me a little bit of the fight club scene behind the night market, just without a weapon ^^

[@05American]

My fear is the "I told you so" from my dad. a few years ago I realized him telling me the bad things that would come from my idea was exactly what kept me from committing. I was only proving him right because I was letting him hold my passion back. So I stopped telling him about shit I was attacking, and I just spend quality time with him instead now. It sucks, but was necessary.

[@PDXBeach]

Gary, since this is a re-uploaded episode. I will re-make my offer to Nate the young gentleman you helped on the show 25:45 -- as a career coach, I will provide Nate a year's worth of coaching for free.

[@onmypurpose9054]

05American can't tell everyone your dreams b/c they will shoot it down and cripple you with their fears & insecurities. With family it's more so out of love and not wanting to see you fail and the other percentage is those who don't want you to be more successful than them b/c it magnifies the failure in their lives and reminds them that they didn't do shit w/ the time that they had. Sometimes they are all one in the same. GO DO!

[@05American]

Christopher Maddox you described it perfectly. He loves me too much not to try and protect me from failure, not knowing it actually contributes to it. He was pretty successful but lives with a lot of regret, and he doesn't understand why I don't want to be like him. I love him to death, so I totally understand and don't hold it against him, but as much as he doesn't want to be, he had made himself into an obstacle.

[@crakerjack3]

I had exactly the same experience. I stopped telling my dad and set my mind to it and now hes telling how awesome it is that im doing my ventures

[@onmypurpose9054]

Sleeplesskxng yep, I had to stop telling family and friends b/c both were either envious or just straight up non supportive. I've had to shut a lot of people that I care about out. in order to quell the voices of negativity in order for me to function at a level satisfactory to me. It's amazing how much you can get done in a forward moving progression when the negativity is compartmentalized (bound, gagged and in the closet where the murmuring is barely audible)

[@yvngwisdxm8644]

this is the last Gary Vee video i'll watch, i have this problem where i'll let stuff build up and push it it to the side, that "out of sight, out of mind" mentality. I'm tired of it... only really writing this so I can hold myself accountable and really get to work

[@alexanderlovellette318]

Gary Vaynerchuk he's not gunna go

[@beaceballos_]

That call with the girl from Austin-Tx was gold. Tough love is what we need from time to time. 6 months ago when I just met Gary in youtube I would have thought "what the f****? but now I actually enjoy the toughness of Gary cause I know is full of good intention and he really wants us to succeed.

[@sjoerdtiemensma4457]

Whenever a lot of responsibilities pop up, I run away. I've been actively trying to change this for quite some time, but I'm scared that it's going to happen again at a time where I'm going to lose this progress I've made. I'm talking dropping out of uni or losing a job. I've been working hard to improve myself and that journey has been amazing, and Gary, you have been a great inspiration and resource. I have lost before and I don't want to lose again. That's my number one fear.

[@CominDownCandy]

My fear is not being able to provide for parents, and give them life again before it's too late. As immigrants from Mexico, they have worked so hard their entire lives just to provide for me, and it's time I return the favor. The only thing holding me back are these bullshit preconceived inferiority complexes, and social anxiety that is just sucking the life right out me. My mental health is deteriorating because all I do is think about this shit, but every time I watch Gary it's like all my fears are suppressed and I get this sort of rush of inspiration and extreme optimism. The nature of his hustle and his humility and optimistic disposition have really put me in check. Gary, you are truly giving value in ways beyond comprehension, and for that I love you, my man.

[@TheGreenTyler]

I fear falling short and not making a difference in the world. Gary, your heart and mind are so in the game. Your compassion and desire for us to succeed is amazing. Thank you for stoking the fire in our bellies and lighting a fire under our asses.

[@Games4Dummies]

Great episode, loved the last call with Nate! My biggest fear right now is wether or not to drop out of university (I wanna drop out), but more than that, what to do instead of it. For years, I have made all this plans (self dev..) and I'm afraid time is passing and I won't take action (almost 21). I have already had this conversation many times with my parents but I think they don't understand. I was thinking about doing a gap year and volunteering, meeting people, job shadowing, having time to reflect, work on my health, social skills, and self-awareness.. All I know is that I feel lost and wanna DO stuff, but then it's hard to put plans into action, I wanna do everything and there's no focus. I think my biggest passion is education change, followed by entrepreneurship and new technologies. Felt good letting that out, it made me structure it in my own head. Thanks so much Gary! Hope to meet you soon :)

[@DevonWayne]

As Gary might say, you have PLENTY of time! You're only 21. Keep at the school grind and job shadow, meet people, volunteer on the side. Don't be afraid of doing that grind. It's JUST LIKE the gym. When you work 2 jobs, you're busy AF. But when you quit and go down to 1 job, half of your day is DEAD AIR. Keep watching Gary and GRIND it out for your happiness!

[@Games4Dummies]

Thank you so much for the advice! :D Have a great day!

[@mussiegames]

My fear is speaking to friends at my 20 year school renunion and find that i've been letting time pass me by (even though i've worked hard) while the others have been crushing it and built their businesses. I shouldn't be judging myself based on the success of others but it makes me feel that i haven't been or done enough.

[@DepressionTalks1]

Scariest conversation for me are the conversation I have with myself. Hear me out. We all have this inner battle. We ask ourselves all the time, "Is this worth all the hard work? Why am I not seeing the results? Am I not good enough? I've worked so hard all this time, am I wasting my time?" I've always been a person that can talk to anyone, but have always struggled with fighting these negative thoughts. That's the hardest conversation for me (and I think many others).

[@SakibRasul]

As long as the hard work is directed toward something you love, you're never wasting your time. You only have one life to live, and it'd be a waste to live otherwise. Stay confident, believe in yourself, have fun, remind yourself that this is what you want in life...and the results will come.

[@DepressionTalks1]

Sakib Rasul That makes a lot of sense. It really does. Thank you for sharing that

[@SakibRasul]

My pleasure :D

[@catalinmatei]

The question about price was truly spot on. Price is something that most people base on their confidence not actual skill and results so loved that :)

[@JoyChristos]

This may sound absolutely crazy, but my fear has been owning who I am and fearlessly expressing myself. It's like I'm afraid to go all in. I'm 22 & up until recently, I have always done what other people told me I should do. Go to college, play it safe, be "conservative" in the way I express myself. I make a living singing in cover bands but I know the only way for me to build legacy & truly be happy is to express my own thoughts & experiences, not just sing other people's lyrics. Also, my fear of self expression & awareness has hindered many of my personal relationships from being deep & impactful. Gary Vee, your fearless self awareness & relentless way of expressing your truths has changed my life & showed me it's possible to be your authentic self, curse words & all! You introduced me to the real meaning of self awareness & it's changing everything for me!

[@thelouisjohnson]

The conversation with myself, regarding my self-value, digging into the reasons WHY I sometimes feel like I'm not good enough, WHY I can have such high expectation on myself. I'm attached to the outcome, so a conversation with myself is going to be something.

[@JAWsFitness]

This one video changed everything and confirmed all the decisions I've been recently making. I've literally had the same questions from the stay at home mom with the new business to the college senior. Gary, you're the man. Thank you.

[@hicks635]

I paused this video for five minutes to Farm current clients and got a past client looking to invest in my services again. You're the best! Thanks for all that you do.

[@dylankline7345]

As a college student, I really value the advice you give to other college kids because it can be so relatable. I think it would be awesome to have an episode geared specifically for college kids bc so many of us might be wondering the same thing

[@michaelfalgares]

This is one of the best #askgaryvee shows. I love the dialogue between Gary and the callers. It's great to listen to the thought process and Gary's follow up with each response. Thanks Gary and team.

[@TheChippy254]

The conversation I fear the most is opening up on my opinions, thoughts, stories, and expressions to the world and feedback or critiques that I may or may not get.Which I am working on by the way, chipping away at that day by day.

[@armchaircouch]

My best value prop I get from Gary is his push to shut up and act, work. Just do it. None of my other mentors have said it in such a blatant way, And my hangup has always been starting the project where I’m comfortable and then not going outside my front door with it. So his candor plus all of his practical advice are a win-win :-)

[@stetsonb7915]

This just might be the greatest #AskGaryVee episode I have ever seen! Literally just focused on everything I am working on this very minute.

[@MarieTagbo]

Literally one of the best episodes in the entire show. Truly mean it when I say that this call in format is the best way to bring value ❤️

[@treymartinez]

My biggest fear has been the conversation to myself that I am not hustling and working like I know I'm meant to. That I must quit the excuses and just do it. Like you said, "It's black and white. Period." Such an incredible episode Gary! Love this new format, it's like having a personal coaching session with you! Truly priceless. Thanks and love you Gary!

[@allendarmawan3567]

My biggest fear is the fear of action and fear of confronting my parents about my entrepreneurial journey. They've raised me very traditionally and I have subconsciously absorbed the this "safe" mindset over my youth. Watching this video I realize how important it is to embody your truth. It's something I struggle with every day but its people like you that always remind me why I keep going. Much love Gary. Thanks!

[@ARcaptures]

My fear is sharing myself online. I know I have the skills, the drive, to build an empire around storytelling and digital marketing. I'm getting multiple job offers every quarter, but feel I should be doing it myself. But what's held me back on pulling the trigger is the fear of judgement from people I know in my "real" "day-to-day" life and the pursuit of perfection. But I believe that's ALL ABOUT TO CHANGE thanks to your amazing attitude Gary. Would love to hear thoughts.

[@XOXOSHEBA]

My fear is messing up. It's clear by the work I've done for people being a social media marketer/correspondent that I'm good, but I still have self doubt. Working on having my confidence match my skill. I think it's because I'm still fairly new. The more I do it the more comfortable I get.

[@PCereza]

I hear you! I'm a graphic and web designer. I still haven't got my web online to sell my services for the exact same reason. And I know I'm good! Just can't translate it into confidence.

[@noetfd]

Micaela Giordano I started a web development career in 2010 by just learning and doing stuff myself. I got my first client without fully knowing what I was doing and I was scared out of my mind but he had no idea I had just decided to teach myself 2 months before he agreed to let me do his website and I did the work I knew I could do and figure out what I didn't. I'll never forget how nervous I was when I delivered the site and was waiting on his approval but he loved it and referred me to 2 other clients which eventually led me to a successful business. Just do it, you'll be fine! I'm always happy to lend a hand too just let me know.

[@DevonWayne]

XOXO SHEBA as Gary has said... it's better to be 1/5 (win/loss) than 0/0. if you have to try 100x to get 10 wins... then go bust your ass 100x 😁😇

[@meerbehrozjamalifilms9279]

Everyone has self doubt, but don't let it dwell on you.

[@Halfcast2k7]

Meer Behroz Jamali yes!

[@justinfricke]

The advice to the college senior. I had that same exact conversation with my parents. 2 years ago. It was scary, but so worth it.

[@SamuelRiveraFilms]

Hands down the best askgaryvee (for me) that I've watched/listened to. This hit home so hard for me and literally answered a question I thought I'd never get a chance to ask Gary. Gave me goosebumps. Gonna "hold my breathe" now and tackle the advice from #130

[@devonFrankTown89]

I fear not realizing my full potential, and walking through life uninspired by what's around me. So I get up every day with the thought process of I've got me make sure that doesn't happen and I want a life that makes me grateful everyday to still be here

[@K4R70]

Such a good format for you...bouncing so fast on the conversations and the time you have to talk to the camera is so tight....I love you're not "wanna eat the camera" but you're talking to people. Such a leap for your show. Congrats.

[@MrOlson4863]

One of your callers touched on the value I've found from your content. Much like you didn't know that kind of hustle was possible until your father did it; I didn't know until I watched how you navigate a day. Thanks for sharing

[@MarijanPiano]

The KZbin Lady - damn, 400 subs and 25k views. I do have 30k subs and +3,5mil views and I'm not even thinking about monetizing anything yet. People really want it way too quickly . LOVED THE EPISODE GARY!

[@blazingwarlord5200]

I really like your content!

[@StephenVTran]

It’s cool to see how far you’ve come 🙏

[@juliekmunden]

My biggest fear: starting my own video business and leaving my 40 hour. Thanks for your inspiration. I totally connect with you on the vacation prep. I feel sad on day 2 often. It is the hype and planning for this mom!

[@waynekent89]

was listening to this at work and loved every second especially telling the guy in college to live his life and go after his dream

[@TejaswiBitra]

Oh my god Gary, my past few years of unsuccessful endeavors and doubts have all been cleared in the last 30 minutes. I had a smile on my face throughout as you gave every answer. I realized that I haven't been brave enough. My biggest fear is picking up the phone and reaching out to an unknown client for a sale. Thanks again.

[@zeakeman12]

Gary V, I LOVE that last call!! I deCIDEDed to do what I wanted to do about 2 months ago when I started consuming your content and I am SO GLAD! I wake up every day GRINDING because of the commitment I made to myself. I appreciate your passion and dedication to keeping it real. Mazel Tov!

[@allegedwriter]

Your 23 year-old caller was extremely similar to my situation, and it was great to hear him talk and hear you respond to him. Thanks for everything you do.

[@wovenscrolls]

Gary Vee: I loved this video and am taking some of your advice of just putting my fears out to get rid of them. I'm 33 right now and feel like I haven't accomplished much to be proud of and it's crushing me. I have many skills and can do many things, but I have let the people around me dictate to me what I can or can't achieve and be successful at. As a result I am feeling demotivated most of the time to achieve what I really want to do with my life. Since watching your Ask Gary Vee Show and Daily Vee, I have been able to change my mindset from seeing problems all the time to rather thinking like "This isn't a problem. What is this opportunity trying to teach me?". While this has helped me so much mentally, I feel like I need more direction and guidance from someone like you who has their shit together properly. I am very into Parkour (I practice every chance I get 5min to myself and even though I am only a beginner and a little fitter than the average person), and I also study multiple languages during my 8pm-2am (and watching more of your clips which is like soul-food to me). As I was watching some of your other Daily Vee videos on KZbin, you automatically answered one of my other questions that cropped up in my mind which was that since I don't have a fancy camera, can I start out making youtube clips with my phone for the beginning part of making youtube clips of my passions, and then work my way towards enticing companies to send me samples of their products which I use later to improve my channel and in return I promote their products? Is that a good approach in your opinion to what I want to do, or do you think that my thoughts are not on track? I want to know from you if I can really use this (which I would definitely say are two things I love doing immensely and would love to do forever even when I reach 80 or 90)(super gramps of the future) to make a decent living out of it. My passion will always be doing it since I firmly believe that if you love what you do, the rest will follow. Please be brutally honest because I want your advice and input which I want to take as a valuable lesson. I don't know if I will ever get the chance to thank you in person for how much you have helped me already with just your videos, but maybe the future will see us cross paths so that I can help you in return for your kindness :)

[@abigailadams9083]

Gary the conversation that i fear having with people is sharing with people my ideas around my passions and the ideas that i want to action... I don't know why and what is holding me back because I have never been more motivated to achieve something... maybe it's the failing aspect of it. I'm working on it but it's bloody hard. I also hate opening up and feeling vulnerable!

[@thomasjamison4173]

Gary V, What I fear most is letting other people down! I LOVE HELPING other PEOPLE! My business goal is to help a Billion people realize their dream! How do I say no without guilt and get caught up on my yes promises? How do you delegate tasks to your team and truly remove yourself from the equation? LOVE the SHOW! BONUS: What is your dream? & What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?

[@Meianju]

I'm 27 spent my whole life doing what I was told. School, university, army, (even thought it wasn't meant for me I pulled through somehow) I did all this until a few months ago. Keeping my frustration in caused terrible arguments with my farther. What I fear the most (am most angry about) is getting him to support me for a year during which I can go 200% into building a career around my passions. I held myself back most of my life trying to fulfil other peoples wishes. The problem with my farther is he is a bad pressure on me rather than a positive one. And it's something he doesn't understand no matter how many times I, my brother or my sister have told him. There's the different upbringings but he doesn't believe I understand where he is coming from which also hurst. It is as if everything I had done till now meant nothing. Part of me décided to make it on my own the other hopes things can change. But I know some people don't

[@memyselfandhi]

My number one fear is social media...making video in front of a camera, making FB lives or posting comments...being public, being juged and visible for the entire world is a very very very scaring thing... but I have to move on if I want To bring my business on the next level and achieve my goals ...meaning "reaching the international market"...thanks Garry Vee...you empowerd me...lots of gratitude (a huge Fan from Belgium)

[@Ungloo]

"You need more time of doing to maybe figure out the opportunities and the lanes you want to play in." Gary Vee talking to a KZbinr with a small following who didn't know where to take it. Plus the discussion with the next caller who spends half time at home with kids. Exactly what I needed this morning. Thank you

[@madisonsalazar6731]

It's crazy watching that and relating to Nate so much. Thinking about all of these excuses I've been using and things I've been fearing and I can't even articulate what they are. Not even worth being scared of what I don't understand. Thanks Gary! ❤️✊🏻

[@NickFinzer]

My biggest fear? That the community I seek to engage with might not actually exist. I'm pushing through and getting myself out into the world as best I know how. I'm a musician putting out a new album and booked a 5 week tour to support it. I'm pushing through the fear to take action, but it's always there nagging at me. Thanks for all you do - Gary!

[@nicholassanborn1625]

I literally did this with my parents. Got an associates and decided I was done and it was time to risk it. I told my parents two years and they agreed. Best choice I've ever made now they just tell me how proud they are and tell me how well I'm doing. Just go out and get it.

[@elijahp7508]

I am so happy I checked out this episode in the archives. The question by the blogger is one I've been having myself. I am an aspiring cinematographer, and I want to start my own business doing weddings, music videos, commercials, etc. However I've wondered if I should start a business with an official title, or just market myself as an individual filmmaker. You answered it, it is smarter to market your self because it gives you leeway to branch into different markets, and playing the game long term. Thank you!

[@AlexanderEmmanual]

That last question was incredibly powerful. Really emotionally resonated with me.

[@RenjiB]

These are really great! Really enjoy the format and the amount of info you pack into it. Excellent stuff. The journey is the best part, rather than the destination--very John Wooden-esque outlook, there. Thanks Gary!

[@Jonnyvonwallstrom]

Just wanted to tell you how THANKFUL I AM! and I would like to tell you why... me and my brother run a production company. We make branded doc series and documentary features.and although we've had films and ad campaign in Cannes Lion, Toronto, Amsterdam etc. We've always felt like we didn't reach out, and didn't get enough attention for our work. It has for so long been a hustle without results in the commercial space... So with inspiration from your channel and way of thinking, we started a KZbin channel. mainly because we wanted to give people an insight in our life and work. It's now gone a couple of months since we started, and we've uploaded a short film/vlog every week since. and I couldn't be more happy today. This have changed our life completely... The majority of clients that we now get are basically from the vlog. both nationally and internationally. and we get to do the same branded content & commercials as we do in our passion projects. Which the whole channel is all about. Just because you guys opened our minds to think more strategic when it comes to bringing value and getting the word out there. So I just want to say THANK YOU! For all the inspiration you've been given us.. Keep it up!

[@robertsantangelogroup]

The fact that Gary is following up w Nate and helping him change his life, is exactly why he is a winner no matter selling baseball cards or Vaynermedia. True winners are never be too big to care about 1 persons heart and life.

[@AliciaValleskey]

+Gary Vaynerchuk ... I totally did that "SAFE" job after college. It literally was a punch in the mouth when I finally left (defied) them and struck out on my own. 9 years later, so much happier that I did it and sad I didn't do it sooner. NATE! You gotta DO! You just GOTTA! Parents just want to see you happy and to achieve everything in life. GO DO! That punch will heal, and they will come back smiling again. Mine now understand that when I am following my passion the way that works for me is what makes me so much better/successful!

[@zachsedillo]

"First comment every made on KZbin" Just thought I would give my beliefs about what I just witnessed Gary vee is doing more than I think he knows, Gary is seriously giving us proven facts and information not only on how to help us in our dreams (aka each one, teach one) but also is creating a world full of deserving dreamers to fulfill their lives with passion and excitement. He brings hope to the present and future viewers that it is possible, and gives and shows conversation of people doing it! Also he comes from years and years of past experiences! He's the humble underdog that gives and gives and doesn't care about receiving. Him receiving is him seeing others succeeding, and I believe he wouldn't want it any other way.

[@SuperFez87]

You put out this content like it's nothing and it offers so much! Amazing!

[@Pga-jay]

My biggest fear was putting myself on video for the world to see and most importantly for me to judge myself. Thanks to you (and gotta give some love to Drock for his engagement with me on this) I am now on episode 14 of my daily VLOG on KZbin and battling every day to overcome. Amazing episode by the way Gary. That's top 10 all time at the end there. And believe me I have seen it all. Love you guys! Keep doing!

[@iamOnewithAlltrust]

Thank you for the video. I am most grateful for the part where you described farming your people and also a hunting for new business.

[@iamOnewithAlltrust]

me too, what do you like about it? thanks for the reply.

[@SimplyFabFam]

TBH I took your advice I made easy money selling part of my closet. This week I'm sold my DSLR and got hired for a new job. Thanks for everything Gary!!!

[@GleiceAntonini]

YOU INSPIRE ME EVERY SINGLE DAY! I'm working on my KZbin channel and website right now, and it just feels so great doing something that I'm passionate about! My 2 years journey living in the USA from a town of 200,000 to a town of 4 million people, no English language, its just opening my eyes to more possibilities and helping me to grow up towards my passions. THANK YOU SO MUCH GARY VAYNERCHUK FOR INSPIRING EVERYONE AND ESPECIALLY FOR YOUR GUIDANCE IN HOW WE CAN WORK TOWARDS AND ACHIEVE OUR GOALS! God bless you!

[@tonyvillalba6299]

My fear is not living up to the standards my family has of me. my fear is not walking or accomplishing things they was they are expected. my fear is not being enough. Thanks, Gary, for helping me push myself!

[@instaclev]

I think my biggest takeaway from this episode was putting your fears out there so they can't control you. Always solid stuff Gary

[@shaunburn1098]

Gary Vee!! Loved that video. It's crazy how much this video spoke to me. I'm in the same spot right now as your caller about her Rescue dog blog! And I remember 6yrs ago when I dropped out of university to follow my passion and my parents hated it but now 6yrs later I've got 3 successful business and I can support my entire family! Can't wait to hear how your college guy goes in 18months! Can we please get updates on how he is doing!!!!

[@Halfcast2k7]

I'm constantly worried that I'm missing something that I will regret later. Not kind enough as a husband, not good enough with the clients, not there enough for my son. I'm so worried about getting it right that I'm missing a lot if opportunities for the joy of being in the moment. Because I'm always worried what might happen next. Which leads me to my biggest fear: noticing everything that wrong in my life and not doing the right things to change them. I know I need to say "no" to a lot of noise to get to the symphony. Thanks for the challenge Gary.

[@MindySanto]

I don't think I've ever commented on your videos, but love them just the same. Although I loved the entire episode, I minute 32:00 slayed me. How did you know I needed to hear this right now? Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

[@scottmarshall2414]

Thanks so much, Gary! The relevance of this episode and particularly Nate's story and your advice for him is on point. My biggest issue at the moment is the same as Nate's. I'm a year from finishing my degree but I know I want to take the first year or so after graduating to 'do' and find my calling which is not what my dad wants. My dad has already expressed his concerns of me wasting my time and not having the secure 9-5 and I thought I would just go for the secure job and when I'm on my feet and out of home then try to find my passion after hours but this has convinced me I truly am and would be angry at myself if I don't have the balls to tell my dad what I want 🔥

8:30 - DailyVee Commercial. Exactly! You literally made me look into supplementing my income through 2 jobs, 8-12 hour days, for 12 months. So I can have 0 debt ($18k) with a $10-25k surplus to persue product design, marketing, advertising, photo, small biz development, etc... THANK you! I just got the 2nd job today, I'll make over $70k end of year between both and partly to thank is you and seeing your grind!

[@kendrawright5283]

The shows just keep getting better and better Gary -- thank you! Loved this!

[@Danistevens]

Love. Love. Love this. Especially the Value Prop! So proud that you're making such an impact in people's lives ❤️❤️❤️ never stop xx

[@johnbasedow]

That was empowering. Believe in yourself, work hard, stay focused & you can accomplish anything. 💪🏼💯

@11:13 I love what Gary said about branding your name! Now, I actually named my business “9to5Not” ... because entrepreneurship is something that stays with you 24/7. Whether I physically work in my business for 3 hours or 18 in the day, I love what I do so much, I’m constantly focused on how to do better and paying attention to what’s out there to help more people. Plus I create videos and other digital products. These products help to keep the marketing going for a business beyond the hours of 9 to 5. What Gary was saying about branding and at some point there may be a desire to change directions in your business was so powerful. Just recently I was thinking about the fact that I maybe I should have chosen a business name that was more specific… “Videos by Tracy” or something but at some point, I may not want to do videos. So I think I chose a good name because there’s so much to life and I’m open to exploring as much of it as I can… 9to5Not is perfect for me! It’s time to step up my game though 👍🏾 Thanks Gary!

I've been watching, following for about 4 or 5 months now. IG, Facebook, KZbin, and Snapchat. You have been saying you want people to start commenting so here I am. I am the owner of The Natural World Apparel. There isn't one thing you speak on that doesn't help me in some way, shape or form. Just wanted to say thank you and I will remain a follower for as long you continue to bring me value. Thank you again, sir.

[@seantellier]

I finally subscribed. You happy now Gary? Lol. This is actually the first time that I've ever subscribed to anything on KZbin

[@Chapterrifik]

I'm 41yrs old... I tried and failed too many times, I have a full time job that pays the bills but not happy My fear is failing at my passion and not being able to provide for my family. I love Photography and I am working after work to make this happen. I'm not failing again and will succeed in providing my family with something I love, even if I do the same income working double the time, I will succeed, Thank you Gary and your crew for the all the awesomeness.!

[@KevinJDeBruin]

Most of my fearful conversations have been had: my mom, family, friends and they ALL WERE IN FAVOR AND SUPPORT! Well it took my mom a bit to fully understand, but she trusted me. The fearful conversation yet to have is my 9-5 when I take my side-hustle full time. I'm still building, planning, & grinding before that happens. Not looking for the one Hail Mary as was mentioned in today's show. Building that strong base, being patient.

[@jessicalee6731]

The biggest fear that i suffered with for years was thinking my past would always repeat itself because one person chose someone else over me, which caused me to think that i wasn't good enough. After years of not trusting anyone and guarding my heart, i realized that if i knocked down the walls of my own insecurities that i created in my mind (based off of one bad experience) and actually took the time to believe in myself, truly learn and know myself inside and out, my strengths and weaknesses, only then would i be able to know my own worth and be able to trust what i am capable of. Fuck what other people think and love yourself always!

[@Unzyme]

Out of all the #AskGaryVee episodes, this was probably the most touching. You could really hear the change in confidence in that young man's voice. I hope that many of the #VaynerNation people do the same.

[@nikolatsankarski222]

For the people wondering what happened with Nate - I searched twitter and found his tweet - he's gettin' the 18 months! Awesome!!!

[@thelifeofyemi]

It so much a conversation but more a look that friends and old teachers with give me when after 4 years I'm only halfway through an engineering degree whereas all my friends will be done. On a deeper level it's the feeling of shame, embarrassment and the fact that I have to step back for the next few years before I can really move forward. But at times I know I'm making it seem worse than it really is.

[@GizelleCamille]

Ahhhhhh!!!! Your heart is so raw!! Love you for caring about us, Gary!!!

[@ericatessmann8448]

The conversation I'm most scared of is the one I'm going to have with my current boss about quitting my job to go to a different one. I know it's going to happen, I know my next job is going to be a big step up for my career, and I know how important it is to not stay at a job out of guilt. As fired up as I am about opportunities I have this year, it doesn't make the "I'm quitting" conversation any less scary. Looking at the big picture, it's probably because I don't like letting people down.

[@chadjasmin6663]

Great dialog going deep into hard subjects and providing the kick to put yourself out there to take a step forward.

[@wrekafilms3953]

Really my worst fear is to lose at life and to regret the things that I haven't tried and failing at my dream and goal of being the best Realtor, Producer DJ, Videographer, and Engineer in the United States and even the world. Also Just want to say I love your channel, I just subscribed and this is my first time hearing about you and I really want to read your books and stay tuned to your channel I REALLY NEEDED THAT!!! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!

[@ChefLizette]

DAMN!! G!! This is one of your strongest AGV shooooooooooows of all time!! WOW!!😱😱😱 QOTD: I will be 46 on 2/18/17 and for the first time in my life and can tell you with a gadrillion %%% confidence *I FEAR NOTHING!! Except God of course ... other than that I there's not one conversation or confrontation I'm not willing to have. All the peeps in my *CREW already know the program. I'm 26 years locked into my game and I'm just getting started. They either get ready for this amazingly crazy LARGE life or they will be eliminated. I'm playing for keeps and legacy and no one will change that! I ADORE this episode!! ;)

[@carlupshon6810]

Great answer about the personal brand/business brand. I have been wondering the same recently about what to focus on. ET said you need to be the first person people think of when they think about *insert your area* and to make that happen you need to build your name. Thanks.

[@codezalo5773]

im 20, i've been out of college for about a year and a half now and a lot has changed, more mentally than any other thing, i fear that since i have troubles with my past it's like difficult to move forward, but i always end up looking for some more gems in Gary's content, other people i look up to, so i can get myself to do and just learn from my mistakes later i guess because it's hard to think about regretting not going back to school for my mom but right, it's my life and i don't want to resent her ever and i've had a couple conversations with her, it's just a bunch but that's life i guess i'm in those 18 months of doing and risking everything, on the fence with considering myself a drop out, but the pressure is on since the school semester is literally right here and i'm still debating, it would make sense since i'm on the fence for a lot of things but maybe i'll try just one more semester and continue all my creative work i've been doing during this 'break' . all in

[@Joshuarayfarmer]

Im Terrified of moving on past the moment i lost my wife in a car accident. I'm scared to face certain realities. 2.5 years ago we were on FIRE, WORK/FAMILY LIFE was cloud 9. I hold back now the greatness i know is within me, but truly watching your content has helped me see a way through. And WORK is the answer. thank you GaryV.

[@stephenosoko6451]

That advice to that Dog shelter lady was exactly what I needed to hear! "Have more steak before you worry about how to sell the sizzle" So many people are telling me I need to have a product right now but it doesn't feel right. This helped me confirm I'm on the right path.

[@30dmv]

Liked the old askgaryvee show but really like call in show, added depth.

[@prosperasia3455]

Thanks, Thanks, Thanks!!! Like most of if not all ( I think ALL really ) of your videos - THIS helps tremendously! Lots of love @garyvee! You are so generous!

[@jamaicajacobson5678]

I have two conversations that freak me the hell out. First one is talking to someone who is business savvy about my jewelry business and realizing that everything I've been doing so far isn't going to get me further along then where I'm at and that I'm not really a successful entrepreneur. Second convo would be with my dad. He knows what's it's like to work for himself so when he gives me advice it's always filled with the what ifs. I feel like he doesn't believe in me and I don't even want to know if that is true. I love him a lot and how he thinks about me means a lot. I just want to be financially strong so that I can prove that the past 3 years haven't been in vain.

[@DevonWayne]

The scariest conversation in my life: Is deciding which thing I want to pursue for life. I have a myriad of interests, from Aeroponic gardening to Marketing/Adv/Photo/Video (production.) I also design and hand make really good fashion. I also do product design, so far 3 killer products that ARE useful. I haven't fully pursued any of those things; yet! Right now im going 100% to pay off debts by 2018 with a $25k surplus for "Life Goals." So far, step 1 is giving myself (29; 30 in 3 weeks) the opportunity to start at step 0 again.

[@wdelainemorgan]

Creative is ahead of your reality. Wow. That is eye opening. I needed to hear this so much.

[@lunknown24]

this really hit hard for me. i was always afraid of telling my mother what I want to do as a career, which is playing video games and making videos, and the whole 2016 was me learning this whole back end money making that I had no idea of behind the two. probably sounded crazy to her... for me to stay home and play video games sounds lazy right? so it was one of the toughest conversations I had ever made, but it's totally worth it because now she supports what I am trying to do to keep me happy. (:

[@JuneThao]

Thank you Gary!! In the process of starting my own and this video answered a lot of my own questions!! Love you man!!

[@lachyfeeney6375]

This has been the video I've been waiting to watch. The advice Gary giving to Nate, is crucial. I've lived like that for years and was doing things to please them and found myself failing all the time. Then I woke up one day after spending so much time failing and learning by doing things I didn't want to do. I said to myself FUCK YOU I'm doing this for me and I don't care what you think I need to do this for me. I started to succeed and was getting great grades and moved so ahead of myself and became such a better man within myself and as an employee. I am now doing an Entertainment Management degree and killing it and starting my own business. Still struggling with doing it you know, it's like dude just do it, just FUCKEN do it. I've got nothing to lose and the world to gain.

[@devinc3138]

Watched about a dozen videos so far, including the event in Denmark, and this one is what made me subscribe. I think your business mind is awesome, but I LOVE that you care so much about people first. I'm working on building my business with that type of mentality. Thank you for giving me someone to see that leads by example in ways I feel are most impprtant.

[@Coryhightowerjr]

Gary Vaynerchuk you the man, Thank you

[@nt3973]

Gary you give the best pep talks.

[@armandoarteaga1329]

Scariest conversation I'll ever have is the moment when IF I have to give other co-founders in a company that I start the talk that they are no longer valuable to this company. Cutting those ties are very hard but also very necessary, but I think what is harder is knowing when exactly that moment occurs.

[@craiginzana]

I've always been afraid of committing to things and then letting other things go. I end up working too much for too little money and jumping from job to job, place to place, person to person because of that mindset. It's really hard to shake, even though I've really realized that life isn't as short as I thought it was. That's always been the thing... so now it's time to follow through on some long term commitments because what I'm doing now is not sustainable or rewarding.
