Why Not Both

so about 10 to 14 times a week I get an email or somebody stops me in the street literally and say Gary you always talk about working so much the hustle all the hours you need to put in well hey man I know working hard is great but I work smart that's why I'm going to win just as much and I always say to them why not both why not working smart all the time and hustling because the people that really Crush are doing that you know you're working smart and hard why not both a couple days ago I started talking about the fact that I'm Ling down on content and there was a forbs article written about this whole situation now I got a little bit taken out of hand of like somebody following me around literally 24 hours a day I wish it was that cool steve you know you don't have to follow me 24 hours a day you good with that you yeah um but the fact of the matter is I am tripling down on content and that's because the reason I have to work with somebody like awesome Steve over here is because I'm not good at running down my thoughts or recording my thoughts and so getting a call at the end of the day and recapping was there any good content is a really important thing to me I do think content is a barrier of entry and Scott Monty wrote a great piece on his blog kind of talking about this idea of me having 24 hours a day and like how this was terrible and he's right I think I did a poor job communicating to Doran Forbes about what I was actually doing um but that's not the interesting thing that's not why I'm making a video of why not both why not work hard and smart equaling huge results and why not if you look at Scott's blog post which is really smart where he says wait a minute this is the worst thing ever I love Gary but this is a bad idea because what the world definitely doesn't need is more content what we need is quality not quantity he is 100% right but there's two problems number one nobody's going to Care here's what I mean quantity is coming my friends last year 380 billion pictures were taken and that is 10% of all the pictures taken ever think about that for a second so quantities coming whether Scott or I or anybody else and more importantly who's the definer of quality for example I don't want any cat videos I hate cats that's right you heard it I dislike them not into them though the internet loves cats and so we all have different views on what quality is but that's not even the conversation is this I am devastated that so many of the things that I've wanted to communicate to my community or things that I wanted to interact with pass in my head and Escape at the end of the day I'm devastated that one of the people by the way here's a little side note the conversation if you go to Scott Monty's blog which I'll link up right here um between me CC Chapman and Scott Monte shows the real power of Twitter and really is a whole another video in itself which is we need to start respecting and communicating with each other instead of just flaming it out I mean the conversation there really Recaps why I think Twitter is incredible but being a little less add jumping back into my point why not both quality and quantity nobody would complain if Michael Jordan I hate him with all my heart nobody would have complained if he played another couple seasons in his prime nobody would have complained if the Beatles put out a couple more albums I think there's a really healthy debate of why not both quality and quantity the quantity is going to happen but there's a ton of quality being left every day because of unorganized people like myself that just Let It Go by don't write it down don't record it when they feel it and I have putting infrastructure around those kind of organizations and people is going to be an interesting debate and I do think that that's what's going to happen and so I'd love to see your thoughts on this I think it's uh I think it's a really interesting time for content the uh there definitely is way too much crap but I do think that a lot of people are leaving greatness on the table
