How Gary Vaynerchuk Get's Through a Funk

John asks when you're in a funk what do you do to get out of it John you've asked a question that I've been really uh excited to share with the world because it works it is very dark like this is dark so like I know that most people when they share my content say beware potty mouth McGee this one's beware you may be like frightened with a little bit of like a tear drop on your left eye um left um I'm going to tell

you the truth because that was the commitment when I decided to do this which you know obviously I'm able to well Steve's caring the questions but I could always Kash them so it's when I start doing these live or when we do live events or we take this show on the road and it's audience participation then it'll really be the full monty but for now I'm answering them and I'm answering them truthfully this is a dark one I'm stalling because it's dark it's

it's dark when I'm in a funk I literally close my eyes put myself into a place where something remarkable happens to me uh you know uh CNN names me the greatest man of all time you know like just literally like silly things like I get on a list of being the best entrepreneurs or Birchbox sells for $4 billion doar and I make a lot of money or the full extreme when I'm in my most funk I literally try usually I do things that are realistic and happen within a one-ear window but in my deepest funks I'll project this is harder this is a little more roleplay cuz when I think about stuff that's going to happen intimately it feels real but I'll dream about buying the Jets and I'll think about those great things and then I literally make pretend that Birchbox sells and I make millions and millions of dollars and that that's the phone call and the next phone call is from my hysterical sister telling me that my mother died in a car accident and I really do that and I really go there and a very like I'm very as you guys know me I'm an emotional character I go there and it really does something interesting for me I really don't care that I made $7 million if my mom died I just really don't and I can even as I'm telling you this right now I can feel it I can truly feel how little I care about that in comparison to what I would feel with that pain and very honestly it just sets me straight it just reminds me what my priorities are and it allows me to understand that the health of my children or my wife I mean the fear and this the Shivers I get when I think about their passing in you know in real life like them dying and it just sets me so straight it just makes me realize how non-important losing that client was or that best employee or that deal or that opportunity passing on Uber in the first round which would have given me 00 million in paper so they got to go public but it's pretty damn in there is something I can deal with because the truth is it's just not what makes me happy and more importantly I'm so happy that everybody I love is been healthy for so long losing grandparents early has put me in that position so a negative is a positive and that's what I do I go in a very strange cocoon and make pretend the people I love the most
