To Thine Own Self Be True

Mar 25

Gary Vaynerchuk has the most successful wine show on the internet called Wine Library TV. If you watch a single episode you’ll get a sense of why. In addition to being an oenophile, Gary’s also a street philosopher.

In this episode of his personal video show, he talks about being true to yourself. There’s a lesson embedded in there. Gary uses “stop lying to yourself” as a strong way to make a point. And that is, know what gets your motor running. Know what jazzes you up. Know what gets you in gear. For Gary, it’s wine. And because he followed his bliss, he turned his small family wine business from a 4-employee operation last year to over a 100-employee operation this year. How? Passion. And knowing what he’s good at.

This one’s for everyone who thinks he’s stuck in some dead-end job. Maybe you’re right. But are you doing the thing that can make you a superstar in your own right?
