A few days ago, a friend of mine asked me for advice about work. She said she enjoyed part of her job, but not all of it.
I told her to focus on the things she enjoyed doing, and make those her jobs.
Gary Vaynerchuk takes my advice one step further.
“Ask yourself: What do I want to do everyday for the rest of my life? Do That. I promise, you can monetize that shit,” he says.
“Stop crying, and just keep hustling.”

“Seven to two in the morning is plenty of time to do damage.” Ahhahahah!
And he’s totally right – branding equity is worth so much these days, not only in a company but also, with yourself. Your life is brand, a legacy – how you live it, the actions within it – what? 80+ years is what we’re all hoping for right? – will carry you to the next level, the next stage of your game provided you’re working at developing it, honing it, and perfecting it. And mistakes are good; they’re beauties. There’s nothing like getting up after a fall. In fact, misjudgments, errors, hindsight … all great tools and experiences to become even more human, more transparent, more real to your audience. Soon, everyone will be talking and everyone will be watching … you.
Do what you love; getting paid for it is just bonus!
