Vaynerchuk started working with his family at the age of 14, when he lived 8 people in a studio apartment in New York.

He made thousands of dollars by selling baseball cards as a child.

He was the New York Times best-selling author on four occasions. Entrepreneur, millionaire, speaker and now the guru of entrepreneurs in the digital world, Vaynerchuk also inspires millions of people through his Youtube channel.

Let's look at the 10 rules of success he has with his Youtube channel GaryVee and quotes from his interviews:

1) Chase happiness.

Many people wear gold handcuffs on themselves. While they have regular jobs where they are well paid, they enter new jobs to generate additional income. They do it for a new car, a new home, or a lot of unnecessary things.

"There's something in life that really infuriates me. A lot of people are busy buying things they can't afford. Even in this room, most of you want to make your side job your main career, but you can't do it because you're afraid to even quit your current job. Because if you quit your job, you get all the things you hate. you cannot pay for unnecessary things. "

Why are you afraid to take a step back for the rest of your life?

"Do what you want to do. You will die sooner or later, it will end somehow. Bad things and wonderful things can happen to you. But nothing will happen unless you do something. So please don't seek permission, please do what you want to do. Open up to the person you want to open up to. , get out of that job you don't like; you can always find that job you don't like. "

2) Play the game long term.

"Many people just start their jobs to fill their pockets in the short term. You have to learn the most basic steps of the job. I always have the energy to stay in the long-term game. This is the only reason that revenues and employee numbers increase every year at Vaynerchuk Media. Because I prepared my model for the long term."

Although Gary Vaynerchuk is hasty and excited, he always makes cool and well-calculated moves. The company says that he thought of his expenditures as steps of the stairs, raising it one year, keeping it constant the next year and increasing it again the following year. This strategy shows that within one year, expenses in the other year are calculated to a great extent.

3) Be alert to every danger.

"I always try to be prepared. That's why I have a very low error rate at my job. I don't compromise my employees on this issue and I try to consider every possibility:" What if they get sick? What if they quit? What if they get bored? ”So I try to know everything in the company.

Separating 20% ​​of his income against potential dangers, Vaynerchuk says that being prepared for every possible threat will make a big difference.

4) Stop talking, start doing.

"One of the biggest epidemics in the world is the inability to do it because of talking. Social media has not started to change people these days, it started to show them. All the hate in the Internet just shows us what exists. Twitter doesn't make people bad, those people are already bad. The same situation is for the issue of not being able to talk and do it. Twitter and Instagram aren't stealing your time, don't try to delete them to increase your productivity. The problem is not with apps, it's in your mind. Instead, you're going to watch television, play video games, or go to a cafe and pretend to work. People just talk. "

5) Play smart.

"After all that I've been through today, I get similar emails and messages from many of my schoolmates:" Gary, you're so lucky! "I answer each one: Jan, it's great to see you again. You look so good. Your kids are so sweet. NOTE: I'm super unlucky. You. Let me remind you, Rick, when we graduated together, I worked while you watched the drama every day, had beer on the weekends and spent time with the women. "

Gary Vaynerchuk says he earns an average of $ 35,000 a year from the age of 22 to the age of 28. Although he did not have a very high income by standards, he saved money by not going on vacation and buying unnecessary luxuries.

He adds that at the age of 33, he still does not buy a house, although his earnings have increased enormously, and he pays rent for the apartment, underlining that this way tens of thousands will turn into hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands into millions.

"I didn't make crazy moves. There were people who earned a lot more than I was 23 years old. But the problem is that they go to Coachella, buy a new watch or change their car. I haven't done that, I've been frugal for years and doubled my earnings at the right time."

6) Try to be a true leader.

"My job is to see the iceberg in the ocean and determine our direction to go. Although our course is appropriate for those on board, it is my responsibility to change direction when I see that iceberg. Leaders need to understand what might happen in the future. Employees already manage the present well and value the past. But it's up to the leaders to see the future. "

7) Keep doing it and maintain continuity.

"Being the best is not something that happens in a day. Nowadays, everyone is in a great rush for success. If you are always involved in what you are doing and keep doing it, you will finish the marathon first. Life is not a short distance run."

8) Do not go astray.

"What gets you where you are is what will take you further. When people get somewhere they think they have to change something to level up. I think what you have to do is try to double the efficiency you get from what you do. "

If you own an orange tree and can make delicious orange juice, you don't need to grow an apple tree.

There is also a zen quote in support of Vaynerchuk's view:

"Before enlightenment, I was cutting trees and carrying water. After I was enlightened, I cut trees and carry water."

If you are making progress on a subject, instead of expanding into other lanes entirely; you can try to improve what is. Success and failure do not always require change.

9) Focus on your strengths.

"Invest in your strengths and don't care about your weaknesses. People are wasting time thinking about issues that are not good. Raise your awareness and find your strengths. Then give all your energy to this area."

Self-awareness is of great importance in this regard. Being able to introspect enough and be objective with yourself is key to this job.

If you think you cannot be honest with yourself, Vaynerchuk recommends that you make this observation by someone who knows you who you think is really objective in this situation. One way or another, you must know your strengths.

10) Try to create value.

"I made my first 40 speeches for free so far. Whether you are a comedian, a musician or any other speaker, it doesn't matter how many people came to watch you. You have to do what you have to do. Nobody knew me in the first place as a speaker. you must work. "
