If You’re Afraid To Make Videos Watch This - Grow With Video Keynote

Today's episode is a keynote I gave in Las Vegas in May at Grow With Video Even. All about what it really takes to make the best content possible. I talk about how self-awareness is the key to unlocking your goals. So many people try to be someone else because they don't think being themselves is interesting enough. I'm telling you... the game is predicated on being comfortable in what you make and talking about what you know. Be you and create!

My insecurities held me back from starting my KZbin channel for 5 Years ...and its one of my biggest Regrets ...it took me 1 yr of Gary banging it in my head make me take the leap ... No going back now 🔥 Thanks Gary

Same here I started a yt channel for my daughter learned hot to edit premier pro and made 9 videos they were pretty cool. And then pandemic started my daughter didn’t want to do it anymore and deep down I really did it because I wanted to start a channel for myself im actually a new realtor so I have the tools to start and know what to do but it’s like walking a plank in between sharks for me wtf is wrong with me and why won’t I just start. I think it’s I think about what would people say . Maybe I’ll just turn off comments 🙄

[@rachaelannewalker]

Same here! I am tired of watching time fly by scared to just do the work and be me. Starting this week on my channel, and good or bad, it’s going live!

[@JordanGonzalezvlogs]

I want to make content on finances bc with in the last year I became obsessed with investing/ planning for retirement. My parents didn’t save for retirement, they were both drug addicts.. in 2015 I became addicted to heroin, & I got clean in 2018. I currently living in a sober house(I’ve been here for two year) & looking for housing bc I have to move. Most people go through life not even thinking about finances or planning for retirement, I was one of those people.. so that is why I want to make videos about just that. Love you Gary

[@hollowboi570]

I'm rooting for everybody who's here gathering information to apply to their upcoming businesses and goals. Some things may not go as planned but that's beauty of making mistakes. Once you see the results, you can then work on making better and better results. Goodluck yall and I KNOW you will get there if you just keep at it 💯

4:08-4:16 rings so true for me. When asked for advice people always say just be you because you are unique but then turn around and say, do it like this, have more energy, you are too mono tone, fake it till you make it...all that BS. Fortunately I stuck to my guns and although I'm not exploding, I'm growing at a rate that works for me in my current situation. Too many creators "faking it until they make it" worse advice ever!

Love you Gary! Been following you for I think 8 years now.. I'm in Vietnam and build incredible tables with an amazing team. Most of the trees we work with were found and harvested in fresh water lakes from Central America. Your talks have helped us grow.

I love how you don't tone down the way you speak for other people and simply continue just being you even if you get judged by others for it

“Let the world catch up to you”.... that rang to my soul. The entire speech was epicccc!! And I have never heard you speak (outside of youtube interview & community app) before now so I am wowed! You do an amazing job... just amazing 🤩

MY insecureties held me back from making youtube videos literally since 2011. I'm so glad I started, and honestly, i've been listening to Gary Vee since around the same time. Around 2011. I often come here for motivation to this day.

[@Droviderion]

7:48 I remember the first time I saw you was kind of surprised.. All the people that I was following wore suit and talked like lords.. You were dressed like street casual with the ugly hat... And you looked really free. Even when you was eating berries on important meetings And you were the most authentic..that attract my attention and keep me stick on you for all this years Gary you Rock!

[@kristapedia2662]

I 100% agree on everything he said except for the "research" part. I feel it's important to do research just to make sure there aren't new findings. Sometimes people take as fact what is just opinion and research helps eliminate that problem.

[@ThePasindu]

That's true for technical subjects. 👍

[@SandySelorme]

This is one of my favourite videos that you have done without a doubt being an entrepreneur myself I can relate to what you’re saying be yourself. The problem is we keep getting knocked down and we believe the shit they were told but thank you for reminding us to continue being ourselves.

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

That was fun. I listened years ago. Recently started making videos....Although my videos are disasterpieces I do recall some of the encouragement from years back. Glad you made it available back then. It was free....what's not to like? ! Have a super weekend everyone.......I think I'll hit up a yard sale too.

[@jackyandjames60]

Hahaha, this is great man. What you are saying is always the cause of huge debate. We are always told to play the part to get to where we want to go. To me that is just stupid yet its ingrained deep in my brain. If you see our youtube videos, I speak like some sort of mechanical robot and you'll never see me smoke (I do smoke BTW). Some of the most successful people are the natural ones. Take Anthony Bourdain as an example. You're a legend man, allthough yeah, you do say a lot of the same things 😀😀

Everything is difficult before it becomes easy, do something everyday that you don’t like doing, it’ll help you grow and become mentally stronger. Most importantly do it when you least want to, that way the next time it will be easier

[@rdesaroporro]

Great motivational video 😉. I wanted to start making videos about the things I love some time ago but never did because I didn't feel secure on camera. After watching thos video I will not give a FU@$ and will start, not because of the money but because I want to share what I know.

[@malikAW15]

This helped a lot. I've recently discovered Sam and he's absolutely brilliant. This allows me to take his gold mines and make it my own.

[@watchvidz7162]

I spent so much time studying to be in professional film production and make expensive music videos but always had a niche for taking regular random pieces of film and editing them into my personality... I figured being able to edit means make hollywood movies and music videos but I just always loved making lil short vids. I hope someone out there can have the exact same experience ❗❗💯

[@mrs.quills7061]

This video was helpful, I’m fearful of KZbin, but I’ve been slowly growing on tiktok. I doubt if it’ll pay off from time to time, but this makes sense. It’s still in it’s early stages, I promote my art and my shop and I think I need to go about it differently. I shouldn’t give up on it, it just feels like it’s not enough and I think it’s because we’ve been conditioned to want instant gratification. I definitely feel like my efforts are wasted on IG though, which sucks as I have a lot of connections in there. But it’s so weird my reels will either flop or blow up and my still finished artworks aren’t shown to my audience.
