Hey guys! It's Gary Vaynerchuk on garyvaynercuck.com. I haven't done these videos in a long time so Happy holidays, Happy New Year, really pumped for 2009. Everybody is crying about the economy and advertisers and all this; the bottom line is you know what, put your head down and crush it; there will be plenty of opportunities in 2009. This is not the great depression my friends. Go find somebody old, talk to them, it's not.
What I want to talk to you guys about today and I want to get really into this and this has been the situation of reading my E-mails over the holidays. I have realized something; getting a lot of attention, I am speaking at a lot of places and I am excited about them if you want me to speak in your conference or anything like that, just send me a link to over here on the side of the video.
And I have realized there is something really interesting which is this, one shoe doesn't fit everybody, do you understand that. It's kind of like wine. It's like here is my shoe right, come on, can you fit in this? Maybe you can, maybe you can't but most importantly, it's like wine, right. I like this wine, you don't. I like White Castle burgers, you don't. So if we have already established that flavors, tastes, styles, art with music and all that, sports teams; I am a Jets fan, you might not be.
If we have established that we have different flavors, why in the world do we have to have one or two or five systems to do business? That is a big problem and I am really tired of people asking me this, Dear Gary, can you get me 5 things I should do to start my company? What are three tricks that you did to build wine library? What are 7 ways you built up your twitter list? What are 9 things I should do for my brand? Here is what you should do; you should listen to one person in the world, yourself.
The intuition listening that we are doing as human beings on a business level is atrocious. People look at stacks, people look at other peoples methods and they try to do that. Nothing would make me happier in the world that if you never watched another garyvaynercuck.com video and you listened to yourself because I promise you, I don't listen to anybody, not a soul. Well I look at certain matrix, absolutely but if my gut tells me that those matrix are wrong or there is a hole in those matrix, then there is a hole in those matrix. Do you understand?
You know exactly what you need to do build your business or follow your passion or build your family or your house whatever, you know what to do. The problem is you are not listening to yourself, you are listening to a million people and you are not listening to yourself; the only thing you should be listening to is yourself because nobody's system works better than your own.
Your system for you is what works. So if you need to wear a tie, to get a job and that's not you, then you don't need to get that job. And if you work better from 2 in the morning to 6 in the morning, then work then. Do you understand? Stop trying to make other people's shoes fit on your foot. Execute what you believe in; do not listen to anybody but yourself. We all wear very, very different shoes.
It's simple, it repackaged from the things that I say before but it needs to be said again because way too many of you are reading your RSSs and you are reading different blogs and you are reading all these books and you are going to all these conferences and you are writing down all these things and you know what you are listening to everybody else but yourself.
