1. Be YOU; and "ideas are shit, execution's the game."
   
   So much of what I think the problem is for young people (myself included) is that they don't know how to believe in themselves and commit to their raw dream/desire. There's too much shit out there, and too many distractions, that those ideas, ambitions, and dreams get put on the back burner because it's simpler/safer/less vulnerable to blindly attack those things head on, and with all your heart. They're too hindered by the "noise" and the lack of certainty.
   
   One think you display, Gary, is a ferocious drive to be yourself and FORCE your ideas to come to life. And you do that which such confidence in yourself, and always seem so sure of yourself. Thats why people fucking love you. Another reason people get distracted from their ambitions, I feel, is their desire to avoid failure. Failure has to be looked at a necessary part of YOUR process and not a consequence of inadequateness.
   
   You're the bomb.
2. truth. I would love to meet you
3. Create a fucking shell for a situation and just go with the flow. Adapt on the run, that is how to improve. Follow your inner flow!
4. I'm full in control!!! I've got to do and start shit!!!! Man that's powerful!!!! That's what I got in this video!! Turning thoughts into fucking actions!!!! Practicing daily!!!!! Focusing and reaching consistency!!!!This kind of content is a blessing to people!!!!!! It really is because it really helps and drives everyone involved!!!! It's amazing!!!!!
5. One hundred percent the fact that you can always contribute to yourself. No matter what is going on in your life take something from your experiences and turn it into something that you can share with others. Whether you make music, poetry, paint, draw, web design, act, produce, invent, any time that you aren't able to create, you can still dedicate yourself to the betterment of your product. If your sick and just want to watch TV all day, put something on that will inspire you or teach you. If you aren't feeling the creative energy flowing then distribute your name, if you are stuck in bed sleeping all day with the flu and you get an idea that could possibly help further your brand or name then just write it down. Everything you produce does not only have one way to be worked on. "If your not creating, be facilitating" Gary Vaynerchuk
6. You're a freakin' genius you know that?
7. Wow! Once again your wisdom and creativity just amazes !
   My biggest takeaway from this was that it does not have to be so hard starting.. the idea of the odd corner was for me a prof of that. Keep up the great work!
8. Start working hard now instead of later.
9. My main takeaway is how creativity doesn't always have to be developed from the self, but can come from without, and that it's acceptable to use yourself as a pillar to help showcase the creativity of others in order to present this brand that is us (that is me).
   
   I'm a creative, and I've struggled with this conflict my entire life, trying to edge in my own personal creative elements into what I do, and the startups that I've created and helped build. This is what gets me charged up, but it takes a lot out of me, and that's where some people seem to get it wrong, they think that creativity is an endless fountain that just needs to be tapped, but it's far more complex and finite than that. Sometimes I need to be inspired, and it's the takeaway message of being a pillar, and not just a singular source of new self-production.
   
   Thanks for the share, @garyvee
10. Some bigger take aways were about doing it the way you do it, in line with who you are, instead of how you think it should be or how you wish it was. That ties in nicely with "Document > Create"
    Also the little tangent about thinking of Macro, instead of micro, not getting caught up by little shortcomings cause shit goes of rails everyday. You just keep on plowing.
    
    Now, THE take away thou... FUCKING START
    We think we need to polish our skills first, get a new phone to upload more HQ pictures and videos, waiting for all the ducks to be in a row, which, of course, never happens, instead of just Putting yourself out there, right now, moment at a time.
11. Be yourself and just do it. Stop thinking and planning and worrying about how you're going to execute. Start now.
12. Just. Fucking. Do.
13. From my perspecrive, what blew me away the most is this "build a Pilar up top and the content flows from there". it's all about the vision. I particularly like it because it's lifting, comparing to an "anchor idea". It takes you to some place bigger than yourself instead of trying to make you something better than you currently are. No fluff around it. simple meaningfull content on a regular basis which leads to breakthroughs and a higher pillar.
14. ✨Takeaway: Overthinking leads to overcomplicating. The process is simple. Be real, be transparent, just start and learn. No one gets it right the first time around, but if you don't begin, you never grow.
15. stop planning and strategizing, and start contacting people and make Shit happen
16. I learned a lot from this video. Time for me to start executing and taking actions instead of thinking all the time not doing anything about my ideas and what I want do to in life.
    Thanks Gary
17. Main point: document, document, document. It covers all your bases. It makes you start (executing), it gives you hindsight and an ability to be introspective (where/how can I approve, what does self awareness look like of old me), AND it gives you a source base to draw out quality content from (you are your own producer). It's working forward through reverse engineering through and through. You're being a creative, executing, and refining content all in one.
18. Time to stop sabotaging myself by overthinking problems and start believing in my intuition and my abilities to do whatever i focus on. Thanks for the video
19. The take away i gain from this video is to take action and be authentic when doing so. Do not fake it in order to make it happen and at times take it and seizing the day. I just started listening to Gary speak and i was impressed by his philosophy of life. hes like, " No excuses, bullshit, or hand me downs" just do what needs to be done everyday of your life or else, your don't want it that bad. Its really easy to listen to someone who you know gets what it takes to be successful with using your natural God giving gifts. Success is like a recipe, it takes a little bit of handwork, a bit of commitment, layered with focus, and dipped with some sacrifice. My problem is that i'm not consistent with what i want but that doesn't mean i don't take action. I just don't take enough consistent action in order to get what i want. Thanks Gary, you definitely have impacted me and given me the drive i need to get over my hump, now lets take action.
20. My main takeaway is to stop waiting until I achieve success in order to feel like I have credibility to be able to share my story. I like the concept of documenting rather than creating because I get to share my journey, my struggle, and after lots of hard work, my success. I've spent so many hours, days, weeks, even years reading and learning and listening and watching, but spent no time "doing" or "executing." Gary, your content is truly inspirational and I plan to start documenting my story this week. Thanks for all you do!
