Even though I consider myself a huge fan of Gary Vaynerchuk and love his overall message, there’s one portion of his advice that I’ve found hasn’t worked well with me - and this is what it is. Enjoy. Feel free to add me on Snapchat/Instagram: GPStephan

Here’s what that is: it’s his mantra of put your head down, and work. Put in 15 hour days. Work weekends. You need to maximize every moment in order to achieve something big. And listen, I can only speak for myself here…but I have to say, this advice isn’t meant for everyone, and dare I say, this isn’t the only way to achieve success. And hey, I acknowledge my own advice isn’t for everyone, either, you have to find something that works for you, but my experience was that I became MISERABLE when I did nothing but work.
I wasn’t an interesting person. I literally didn’t know who I was, I lost my personality, I lost what it was like to be “me” - because I was doing exactly what Gary encourages, and that is to put your head down, and work nonstop. I wanted to be so much more than just someone who worked over everything else, and it took 4 years to realize that just wasn’t ME. And oddly enough, I found out that once I started focusing on ME more, cutting back on clients, and focusing only on the ones that were my biggest source of business, I actually started making more money. I want those days to be totally unproductive, because I know these things refresh me to do even BETTER work for the hours where I dedicate to being productive.
Now don’t get me wrong here, because I believe one of the main distinctions for Gary is that you can tell he ABSOLUTELY LOVES what he does - and I’d venture to say, for him, it doesn’t feel like work. This is him having a great time…he could work 18 hour days for a month and be absolutely thrilled.
But I also recognize the unsustainability of keeping that up long term…You also run into the problem that at the end of the day, you can only PHYSICALLY WORK SO MUCH until you can’t work anymore. There are only 24 hours in a day…what this cycle reinforces is that the amount of time you work is directly correlated with your success, and every hour “extra” is one hour of further advancement. When you’re working this much, there becomes a limit to what you can physically be capable of before you NEED to focus on increasing productivity, not time.
We shouldn’t have the pressure just to work, work, work, hustle, work…without understanding that that behavior, at some point, becomes detrimental to your success. AT SOME POINT, it’ll hinder your ability to grow…whether it be socially, or financially. And if you’re perfectly happy working 18 hours a day and you don’t see a problem with it, then ignore this video and I’ll take the dislike. But I assure you, from my experience, I’d much rather be more creative, more relaxed, less stressed, and less worked….than a million dollars wealthier, feeling overworked, stressed out, and guilty every time I wanted to take time off. I feel we should stress the importance that the amount of hours you work doesn’t necessarily equate to the level of success you’ll achieve.

Hey, the FTX grifter!
It's good advice to work and get it, for working-class noncollege going public. Its how he did it. it worked for him.
I wake up at 3:00 am and work until 2:00 am the next day. I’ve done this everyday for 23 years. Not one day off. If you’re looking for the hardest working person in the comment section. You’ve found him.
Having a grant cardone Ad on this video is the chefs kiss
Great vid! "I'm just gonna hide from all the dislikes I'm about to get." 🤣
GaryV = Toxic Hustle culture. He targets guys from small towns that romanticizes the rich life.
Gary Vee is full of sh*t
I don’t even know how anyone likes him 🤷🏽♀️
I think he doesn’t understand what it means to burn out… 🔥
I've been doing this for 15 years. Still havent broken through, sucks.
Gary vee likes India! OMG he's just ruining young Indian minds with his scamy content! Watch out Indians..
lol your argument against him isn't even what he's saying.. The key to everything he says is "that is what I had to do'". He acknowledges that the worlds changed and kids can go make what ever money online they want to to be happy. He preaches that if $50k is success to you and you are happy that thats way better than $1M.
There’s no reason to listen to Gary. Coming from money and pretending to be self made and from the bottom.
Wow. So he started with what his family started. Ohhhh okay. Well I tried 15 years solid and made it nowhere. Like our host said I got angry jaded and still haven't made it pop. So sometimes it's in the cards and sometimes it's not. Anecdotally It really boils down to who you know and not what you know… Just what I saw. Kudos to those of you who made it.
BRO Why would you take advice from someone who goes for the Jets
I watched this whole video and you really are an idiot.
Happiness is temporary, Joy is the goal..The only constant in the universe is change. To experience Joy, is the purpose of life
Gary Vee is literally human cocaine
For most people, working less results in more productivity. I thought this was a widely known fact?
Studies show that working 49 hours or more decreases your marginal productivity and above 63 hours there stops being an increase at all. Keep that in mind whenever some shmuck tries to convince you to work all the time it’s not good for you and it’s not even good for your work
Gary Vee is a clown
You are so boring
Gary Vee just does pretend motivational advice. He's a moron.
I kinda agree with Gary V, because I have no friends. The way I look at it: no friends no money < no friends ALOT of money
Gary Vaynerchuk curses too much in a majority of his YouTube videos. He knows his stuff. But his mouth bring down his business and image.
This is precious
All What Gary Vee is saying is projection of his experience which is a bullshit of others, I have self made rich friends enjoying their lives as crazy and they are more productives
This video is taken so out of context you say you watch Gary's videos but it seems you choose which information to listen to. One big thing of his is that work life balance is different for anyone sad to see people trying to drag people's names through the mud for views
but thats what worked for Gary at the end of the day , you only take what resonates and leave the rest, no advice from anyone is 100% applicable to your own
This sounded like a Gary Vee infomercial.
The only people who are real fans of Gary Vee and will defend them or old people who would give the person in Pakistan money for their American-made cars warranties
