I WANT LEGACY | DailyVee 046

(heavy footsteps) ♫ Maybe, crazy ♫ - Just put on some Chance The Rapper and Saba and I'll be fine. I'm all about Chicago. Boulder, Colorado baby. Boulder's pretty. - [DRock] Yeah. - I can't hear my volume because I got Chance The Rapper banging. We could fill up the next hundred episodes of DailyVee DRock, with my weaknesses. Here are the current vulnerabilities cause it's summer. A little more wine than normal, like, summer is when white wine and rose's more interesting to me. Actually one the interesting things about how I roll is, how little I focus on the weaknesses. Bread is a weakness right now. Bread has been a new vulnerability. Like, I'm weird-ed out by how much I want bread at meals. Came out of nowhere. DRock just said to me, "Hey let's focus on weaknesses. " "I just saw you do that call about, "last couple weeks of your health, "like some of the things that you're worried about. " Like, I'll never eat a bag of potato chips, or like, I don't eat 15 Oreos, you know? Oh, there is one thing. Tell Lizzy to stop buying those chocolate covered pretzels. That's killing me, I've eaten a bunch of those in the last month and they're the best thing I've ever had. You know, it's funny, I'm so focused on my strengths. the opportunities at hand, positivity, the optimism of the game, that this is actually gonna be the most challenging episode for me. To almost like, fester up weaknesses, or think about things to say to bring some value to this episode. Super difficult, like, you know, that's just hard for me to do. I'm just not really good at respecting my weaknesses. I'm not good at dwelling at my weaknesses, acknowledging my weaknesses. Why? Everybody else is doin' that for you. I think, to win, you need to be your biggest fan. You need to focus on your strengths. I'll appease you on this episode, DRock, and give you some weakness talk. But, it's not gonna be that good. And easy. And it's surely not gonna come up so easily for me. Because there's a real part of me, that cuts that cancer out. We've all got 'em. We've all got our weaknesses, everybody. I just think the people that win, respect their strengths more. ♫ Listen up ♫ (light music) Facebook live, homies. It's Gary, but you know that. About to head down to Denver. And give a keynote at Denver Startup Week. - [Voiceover] Warm round of applause for Gary Vaynerchuk, come on welcome to Gary. (applause) - Good morning, or afternoon. Thank you so much for having me. Really, what I'm gonna talk to you about, is attention today, and even then, I realize, innately, this a six year old, this is not something you read in a business book at six. I realize that people's eyes and attention is what I was interested in. I didn't need to pour the lemonade stand, especially if I could get Robby Turnick to do it. I needed to figure out how to get people to stop. Think about how sick of a child I was. As a six year old, it was interesting to me, to sit at the corner of a street, and watch people drive and try to figure out which tree or pole was smarter to put the sign up on because that's where they were looking. And that is really, basically, the thing that I most care about. Have you found the people in your life that have already won and are good? That's what I am, I'm good. I don't need anything from you guys. I just don't want anything. I want you to listen. And then go have happiness and success, whether that's work-life balance, whether that's honing your skiing skills, whether that's building a million dollar business, I don't care, I don't need you to be a hustler, an entrepreneur, I don't need you to be a business man. I don't need you to do anything. I need you to pay me back by going out and then doing something with what I'm giving you. Paying back the attention I'm taking from you, paying yourself back. You know, giving me the feeling that I'm bringing value to the world, by actually doing something about what I have to say.

That's what I'm doing with my attention, what are you doing with your attention? The one thing that ties us all together, everybody in this room, is before you tell me how great your agency is, or how great your service startup is, or how great your juice is, or how great your new sneaker is. Before you tell me, and the world, how great your thing is, you need my attention. - Good job man. - Thank you brother, it's a lot of fun. Thank you my man, you did a great job as well. Yes. (laughter) I'm about to go on stage and DRock's like, "Uh", I had a meeting this morning really early, so I had to work out right after that, before I came here. And I just didn't notice that I put it inside-out, and I was about to go on stage, and DRock's like, "Your shirt's inside" and I'm like, "Too late now. " (laughter) I realize what's going on here. One life, I realize that I'm living, like this is our only at bat, and most of you aren't. People fuckin' walking around here like they're comin' back. You're not comin' back. I appreciate that I'm a doer, I love doing. I believe in doing. There's not a lot of animals running around out there that have built two 50 million dollar plus businesses. There's plenty people bigger than me, better than me, winners than me. Respect, they deserve it. But there's not a lot of people running around with the results. Definitely not, and this is the punch line. Definitely not a lot of people running around with the results that I've had. That are equally trying to give as much time as possible to their audience so that they can taste the fruits of that as well. Not a lot of people with those results. That are obsessed, with you having those results too. I just want you to maximize what you got, and I want you to try. The thing that cripples me, is the people that aren't trying. Out of fear, out of laziness, out of being unlucky, with parents that didn't support them. Being unlucky growing up in a neighborhood that wanted to tear them down instead of building them up. So I'm out here, feeling guilty because I had it so good, with my mama and my daddy, that I want to give that to you. If I can be that random dude, that's your mentor from afar, that you've never met, like so many of you have said. - I just want to say, GaryVee, yo. I'm sittin on the couch, and I'm bein' lazy, watchin' Facebook. And I come across your video, and it makes me get up and move. Makes me go and do something with it. You're my mentor from afar, I appreciate it. Hell yeah. - Thank you for helping us. - That makes me super happy, man, that's awesome brother. And that gives you the opportunity to have something good happen in your life. I'm super fuckin' interested, like, that's legacy baby. Legacy isn't me making six billion or seven billion, legacy is thousands, and I mean, hundreds of thousands of people e-mailing me and telling me that their lives are better because their dad or mom got motivated by something I did and went on and built something bigger and better and meaner and leaner. And better for them. I want legacy. - My dad got me into you back when you were doing Wine Library TV. - Is that right? - Yeah. - [Gary] You know what drives me? You know what I want to do? I want to fuckin' steal legacy, I want legacy. That's why I want it for you. Like, my selfishness brings you value. Just the way to work it out, it is what it is. See ya. (slow, brooding music) - So nice to meet you. - I'm gonna be at your funeral, just want to let you know. - I appreciate that man, you know what I care about. Thank you guys, nice meeting you, take care.
