episodes of DailyVee than this amazing email from André

(bell dings)

and using his entire mashup video as

episode 1001 is a recap of where

we together have gotten in the last hundred episodes.

On to another hundred episodes, my friends.

Before I go into this, by show of hands how many people here

have no idea who I am or anything about my spiel?

Tell the truth, raise 'em.

That fucking hurts.

("Legendary" by Welshly Arms)

I get thousands of emails a week,

"How do I find my passion?"

And literally I reply, I don't know.

I would tell you my punchline is what would you do if you could

just do it all the time.

Everybody is the happiest when they get to be doing what they

want to be doing.

When you get to do what you want to do, you've won.

That is the seductive nature of entrepreneurship.

But there's a problem.

There's a naïveté in the world that just 'cause you talk

people are gonna listen.

You actually have to be good.

How do you stay driven?

I'm gonna ask you a question, how don't you stay driven?

You won the lotto of the universe which is

you are a human being on Earth.

And you're not driven?

And you're not fired up?

And you're willing to sit like a lump and just wait 'til you die?

You suck.

I don't know what everybody, you're gonna be 90 and you're

gonna look back and what?

This is it.

I mean there's just so much complaining, there's so much

cynicism, there's so much you go lucky.

There's so much, everybody just wants to point to other people.

Point at your fucking self.

At the end of the day, it's gonna be what it's gonna be.

It all comes down to 20, 30, 40 years from now.

Like what?

It's just results.

How do the people around you feel about you?

How much did you create?

What impact did you have on people?

It's the money.

It's the fame.

It's the impact that you've had on people.

It's the way your family thinks about you.

It's the way your best friends think about you.

You can be a fucking ninja entrepreneur and you can be an

awesome person and give back to society.

You can do both if you've got the talent.

That is the game.

If you're good enough, if you are good enough to be up here,

to make bling bling, if you are good enough,

nobody's stopping you.

Not fucking Donald Trump, not the fucking Russians, nobody!

If you're a minority, if you are a female, if you're transgender,

if you're a fucking alien, the market doesn't give a fuck.

If you make the best shit, you will win.

If anyone has ever made it that looks like you then you can too

and what's harder, much harder than getting money or respect

from the establishment is actually winning the market.

When somebody will say to me,

"Well, Gary, I can't get funding because I'm a girl."

Or, "I can't get funding because I'm from Mexico."

Bro, it's way harder to actually have your product win with

customers than to get some

old white dudes on Sand Hill Road to write you a check.

So, if this is breaking you down, if you're crying now

you're in deep fucking shit.

The market makes old white dudes that are racists seem soft.

Something to happen, you can't just visualize it.

This isn't "The Secret" shit.

Everybody should live their lives the way they want to.

But if you want to build something big, if you want to

create a big business, hard work is the first, second and third

part of the formula.

When you have the audacity to be an entrpreneur and own your own

business and want all the riches

and great things that come with it,

you need to put in the work.

I promise you if you look at your eight hours every day,

two to three of them you're spending on dumb shit.

Work is the variable of success. Work.

You don't know a single person on Earth that's successful that

didn't put in work.

Nobody watching this right now, nobody watching this right now

knows a single person that

became successful without the work.

You know what I feel? I feel an epic rant.

I feel I have to do a fucking rant.

So, I'm in good spirits, we'll see what happens today.

("Hey Now" by Wolff)

If you work in a job, you are not an entrepreneur.

Now I know that hurts and I'm gonna say it again.

If you, right now, as you're running through the airport or

driving on the highway are going to a job, you, my friend,

are not an entrepreneur.

Like, you can't just decide you're gonna be an entrepreneur.

You can, there's a big difference between being an

entrepreneur and having entrepreneurial tendencies and

actually being a successful entrepreneur.

The punchline is this way too many people are

playing it half-pregnant.

You either do it or you don't.

There is no in-betweens. This is binary.

You didn't think it was true

that they were 15, 16 hours a day.

You thought they were hyperbolized and

they were eight or nine.

You didn't realize every minute was something.

You didn't realize it was everyday, always, forever.

And you're playing a different game, you got to also eat the

shit that comes along with it.

It's super fun to fucking be

an entrepreneur 21 and play the game.

If you fucking lose, you lose.

Recognize that you can attack the world in a totally different

way 'cause you were lucky enough to be born during this era.

Every time there is an actual attention revolution enormous

money is made and enormous money is lost.

Just 'cause you weren't first doesn't mean you can't be best.

When you're in do mode, you fucking get shit done.

What do you think about that?

I can tell you what to do, a screwdriver works.

But if you don't go and do it,

then that screwdriver sucks shit.

A lot of people look at finished products.

They look at LeBron today.

They look at Kobe today.

The look at Beyonce today.

If I'm sitting on a couch and I'm like oh that athlete thinks

they're so fancy.

I wasn't there for the last 22 years that they woke up at

5 o'clock in the morning to get to this moment.

You have to deal with the reality of the situation.

Dwelling and pondering and crying doesn't do shit.

You can cry, you're just gonna lose.

And I have bad news about complaining and crying.

Nobody gives a shit.

Nobody's gonna feel sorry for you.

Who's gonna feel sorry for you?

You? I'll tell you who's gonna feel sorry for you.

Oh, you know who feels sorry for you?

Your other enabling losing players around you.

It's just one fucking losing circle.

Either you're hanging out with people that are dragging you

down or you're hanging out with people that are lifting you up.

But I promise you this, every winner in your life

has zero sympathy for you.

I just think that people are

scared to fail in front of other people.

My friends, I'm telling you something right now.

I'm desperately excited to fail in front of you.

Because A, I don't really give a fuck what you think,

B, I'm gonna learn from it and

C, battle scars are attractive.

Speed is four billion times more important than perfection.

The amount of you that are crippled by getting shit right

instead of getting shit done is insane.

We're living in a world where so much more opportunity.

This internet thing created way more opportunity for all of us.

Way more.

Like I don't give a fuck if you think I'm the greatest and

fucking the Messiah or if you think

I'm a piece of shit con artist.

I'll see you in 2020, 2030, 2040, I'll see you.

I'll fucking see you.

Please take a step back and

think about how awesome it actually is.

You know, being successful takes several different variables.

I think self-awareness is number one.

If you don't know yourself then you don't know what you're good

at, you've got no shot because

you're gonna be spinning your wheels.

Are you willing to be super honest with yourself when

nobody's watching?

We all know who we are.

- [Man] Yeah. - Sometimes we don't like that.

What are you actually good at?

What do you like doing?

Because the opportunities are endless.

The problem is we are scared to do different things because the

fundamental core reality is

we worry about what other people think.

We worry about getting judged if we fail.

If you're not your number one fan, you've lost 'cause the

market's really good at tearing you down.

Everyday, 24/7/365

I will remind you that life is phenomenal.

That nobody gives a shit so the government or your mommy's not

gonna help you.

You've got to do it.

Own your shit but it's never been better.

We've got a bigger chance than ever.

We can do our thing.

We are strong as shit.

We're really fucking strong.

We're just being sold that we're not 'cause there's a lot of

money in telling us that we're not pretty enough, thin enough,

smart enough, good enough.

Fuck that.

I want to tell ya you're the fucking best, go do shit.

("Calais" by Okiem)

It's I just want it so bad for you.

I want it bad for you.

I believe that you can and by the way,

I'm not like anybody can do it.

Like some of you suck.

Some of you don't have the skills.

Why do you think I talk about self-awareness?

I just want you to try hard

at the thing you may naturally be best at

because that's where everybody finds their moment.

How much more motivation do you fuckers need?

You live one life.

It goes fast, life goes fast.

The problem for so many of you,

the reason so few things are happening

for a lot of people is they're confused.

They don't know what they want.

They want 8,000 things.

They're just confused.

Stop being confused.

Figure out what you want, reverse engineer it and get it.

The biggest poison in us is regret.

It's poison.

Everybody here has already sitting with two, three, four

things they can think of very quickly

that they regret right now.

Already and right now you feel okay because

you got a lot of life to go.

But if you spend time with people their 80s and 90s the

thing they will absolutely teach you if you really dig

is regret fucking sucks.

When you see regret in a man's eyes, it's fucking painful

because you can't do shit about it.

When you're 90 and you're not mobile and you're tired and

it's over, you can't do it. You can't do it.
