31 Minutes of Advice for the 20-30 Year Old Who “Needs” a Win
4/28/202631 min
In this episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I talk about the biggest mistake young entrepreneurs make: being impatient for the result while being lazy in the daily work. I encourage you to stop looking at the "glamorous photoshopped" lives of others on social media and start focusing on your own execution. I also discuss why you should document your journey rather than pretending to be an expert and why the "process" is more important than the "end goal".
You’ll learn about:
- The Concept of Macro Patience and Micro Speed
- How Comparison Destroys Productivity
- The Importance of Documenting Your Journey
- Why Your 20s are for Sacrifice and Learning
- Overcoming the Pressure of Arbitrary Milestones
