importantly, enjoy
episode and we hope to see next week. This is the gary vee audio experience,
We really need to have a conversation in here about judgment
the far majority of you- will not go home today and start posting more on instagram and linkedin, and facebook and twitter, not because you don't get. I love when people like gary, I didn't grow up with this technology. I don't get it I'm, like. That's nice
so you didn't grow up driving and you figured it out the very cute that you tell me, you didn't grow up with this and that's why you don't get it. I am wildly smart enough to understand that you are bright enough to spend two hours on an app to figure it out. The reason you're not posting are doing
it is cause. There's insecurity about what you're going to say. You've got your perspective, the want to be happy. Don't you want to be happy the fact that we,
the current twenty twenty in the majority of
the social web and these opportunities- and there are still two platforms right. This second,
that requires zero dollars. For you to start
indicating what you want to happen in the world? I think is remarkable that doesn't even take into account the fact that facebook ads you to pre rules, this new spot,
I add product that is gonna- have hosts red live reads like the old radio game for podcasts facebook or winner twitters appropriately thrace.
everything I just mentioned to you, the ads are underprice the cost,
of spending a thousand dollars on these platforms to get people to see something is underpriced. I really am desperate.
with even the tone and tenor that I'm bringing to this talk, I'm desperate for people to understand how wild this
I want to remind everybody for everybody who raised a hand in the first group like myself, the way you
the business or brought awareness, if you're forty,
in older in the way we grew up was by spending. A lot of money adds: cost money, direct mail, newspaper, radio and television that costs money
there was a very high cost of entry to build brand brand is the whole game
I think when I analyze what's going on in the business world and with people, I think most p,
what transactional. I believe
people here are entrepreneurs raise your hands,
I believe the majority the hands that just one up, that when I look at the
delta between the ones who won and the ones who one less than they wanted to
put them, always in my mind, into two groups. One one group is true,
actual a K. A
we care about the money in the short term, and the second group is-
king to build brand, a k, a reputation in perpetuity
and are more concerned about playing it out in the long term. What
is exciting. For me, right now is that this device this device
like the fact from this young man down and up
one of us has a device in our hand, that is a computer that is actually,
more powerful than the computer that ronald Reagan had when he was running the free world, it's
well, is interesting. It really is, I think again, what I'm really trying to establish in this talk is happening this morning is I dont think people
provide the opportunity I struggle, regardless of circumstance.
When with people dwelling or complaining in a world where the internet is free, has no idea who you are, could care less. It's right there
and it becomes a game of skill, not necessarily finances to actually when it's interesting to me,
interesting to me that you can be in the retail business overnight by setting up a sharper fi account which cost nothing. When that same

I wish we could soon. I literally have goosebumps on my neck right now,
not really. I really do it's like a very I I,
I will live my last breath trying to get people to understand this is remarkable. This is this is a game of perspective. Are you
located or capable of seeing it from the ones that I am speaking about today, which is
barrier, to reach the end person, whether

oh ties, whether you want to be about the fact that you want to be a professional football player,

And my dream every time I speak, as can I get one person in this room to get their peace for me if you are not disproportionate
sitting in this room professionally, which will trickery
To your actual life, you have to take a step back,
can understand this perspective so
living through the greatest ever for opportunity. I think it's on the back of,
Current internet, which is wildly visual.
I am very aware that the audio revolution of our society is coming. What do I mean by? That is how many people here and have a google home or an alexa in their house?
hi I'm curious! Recent high water will see this.
We go alexa, look around so real number now granted most people are just telling jokes with their electoral or listening to music
but I want to remind everybody that the first killer app on the iphone for the first year, was that at that look like you were drinking beer. If you remember it takes them
for the alps to catch up to the platform.
but we are all very close to being
an era where we order a pizza or where we get our plumber,
or how and where we navigate by talking to a voice device not to our phone as voice.
I the platform and less happens on this, which seems foreign now, because we all live at it. But I want to remind you: we used to not live in it and I want to remind everybody, your technology likes to move when when not, if, when
You start doing a lot of things that you doing. Your phone right now start happening on a voice device.

to grab attention to the current opportunity landscape.
which I'm going to remind everybody, is quite remarkable, because if you,
a local bakery now and you can do a really good job on linkedin and tiktok for free or on instagram, with money when in a
Can we go into voice and I say: alexa semi, six muffins to the office, amazon,
gets to decide which muffins come to the office. Now
did such a good job building brand, and I knew about carols muffins and I said, alexis semi, six carols muffins through the office you ve now accomplished your task.
I spend one hundred thousand percent of my time on brand.
I want people to know my name.
People to know the name of the things I do

tourists weren't one thinking about it prior to what we did yesterday. We think about it. It's all brand, and so I just want you to get your long tail,
I do, and this is what led me to the most interesting conversations of my career, because I, as a business man, I never thought
get into categories like parenting and in securities and self esteem.
But as somebody who just spoke all that and has done that pretty much
today, six hundred times a day on the internet for the last decade
It is the lead me to realise wait a minute. There's
other components of everything I said I can show every one of you what to do. I'm just sat here and told you wonder

Listen here went home and made five to seven
pictures and videos a day on both tik tok and linked in within a year. Something good will happen, but a farmer John.
Ninety nine percent of you won't post on either once after this talk.
The question to me became why that
led to the next part.
We really need to have a conversation in here about judgment.
the far majority of you, will not go home today and start posting more on instagram and linkedin, and facebook and twitter? Not because you don't get. I love when people like gary, I didn't grow up with this technology. I don't get it.
Like that's nice, so you didn't groped living and you figured it out is very cute,
that you tell me you don't grow up with this and that's why you don't get it.
Wildly smart enough to understand
you are bright enough to spend two hours on an app to figure it out

you go very deep into who's going.

Or even worse, the thing that breaks my heart, the most you actually cooper

you look ugly and you cripple and fold like a chair. So that's what he's got my company
trying to figure out how to get people to realise that the judgment of others has zero,
impact on their lives. They have
ro context on your actual life, and how do I get you to understand that perspective, which would then led to you speaking and when I say speaking, let me break this down. Let me let me take it.
The other excuse of why you for years,
in your business aren't posting, not. Everybody is great on camera
I get that not everybody is so wildly charismatic and very good. Looking I get it
However, on the flip side, I am incapable of writing now. My natural skill

you can post my question here today. My friends is very simple: when are you going to start talking? What are you waiting for.
If you are not communicating, you don't exist. I believe that
you're. Not communicating you do not exist, more importantly, communicate.
What you love. What what what scheme?
me about the long tail of the internet is, I know, there's somebody sitting here whose watched every episode of friends

You won't go there. So
that's my framework. Those are the things I think about. I spend a lot of
thinking about that and then
I have a company that helps fortune. Five hundred companies navigate that world
And I see it every day, just go back to the planters thing, because I know it's on the radar today like there was a real debate.

It's never going back. This is why the mainstream media will always be wrong, but the predictions does they look at the wrong data. They will always be wrong. Watch it again to always be one it's my company

and now he's de rock and people like call their video people de rock,
and that's history- I mean the area love it. You know, listening to yourself, have always been one of the great things around just what about that so wanted to say things like kind of the body year and a half ago started doing the podcast live podcast on facebook kind of started. Taking off, we started getting messages. The company started growing about a week ago. We got a contract for the ai of the board and ne to do all of their cancer clinics
so it's been super awesome. Also. My name came up for some highschool coaching job for being like the worst kind of going crazy. No, that can't be the crazy that you know a year and a half ago about this, and now you know this is actually one of my mouth, but my goal is to get into the nfl difficult one day and right now I see myself in a point of struggle between maintaining the company and then having a go over into

The company, from the perspective of as you know now

on this room. How many people here on their own business great? This is gonna really hit for a lot of you there's a
other people that you can talk to afterwards. If you go see this man afterwards tell him that bill companies and they built,
say from zero, two million a year or half a million, but take then they loved life was also
but from a million two million five that like screwed up
like there's mendoza line where, like their people to wonder,

good? So then, you should be stressed is used
how do you great, if you say
would it be in the nfl what I'm forty to guess what it gets? It lets less stressful you're thinking in fourteen year terms
it gets a lot less stressful when you're reading, when
not reading other headlines. When you hear some twenty six year old got the look to be the number two on the offense at the bengals. All of a sudden, you're frustrated, don't worry about anybody.
Just like those friends around you, they're like now now that will work, don't worry about the twenty six year old with kid whose
buffalo right now. That has nothing to do with you. Take it from forty four forty two is plenty young to get your first nfl coaching job. You understand. Our relationship with time is something we really have to start talking about

Well, that's you'd, execute by.
talking to those old dudes.
Very simple: don't
for permission, focus on execution, there's nothing
more for my whole life. I was told what I was doing the wrong. It was called
easy to launch an internet site for a liquors,
Ninety ninety six people thought the internet was a fat forget about, is tik tok
somebody oh geez here. No, we debated if the whole thing was that right and then
email instead of catalogues, and that was not smart. What's email,
and I bought google adwords and spending more money on Google adwords that I was spending on direct mail and newspaper ads, and that was stupid and then I sat down and
filming of wine show on youtube month after you, too came out, and people thought I
my mind, let alone that it was stupid, and then
took all the money I had in my life tat. I saved my whole life and invested in facebook and twitter.
Five years before they became public companies and all my
actual advisers.
Family? Nevertheless, don't that was stupid? I'm
the excited when people tell me it is stupid.
That's what I am about to do something more
sir. In the back, we the wild sure, even
you said you launched yesterday first, my first day, epic, ok,
and so about you,
greed. So in a world where I've got a lot,
things in front of me and as you can imagine this pitch, though much more fun in real life happens a thousand times a day? Here's what you need to do you need to
tell me I'll read it tonight have long flight gary!
pain, media usable in the title,
the dude with the weird shirt that launched today, cause then I'll, see it right. I'm the dude with the weird shirt that launched today and you need to articulate what you mean on the back
exchange and then, if it's their offloading fly, will
awesome,
I'm listening by the fire service? Also, listen! The shirt do something bad as heck. Yes, yes, that's kind of I love that.
Yes, that is a very good idea
You can definitely give me a shirt

so you and Iraq, you know what iraq's what brings you here?
I give eighty thousand edith eight thousand, it's all screwed up europe,
haven't you right now. The info like dirac, sent to attention loo and then, where it can
yeah.
thank you, the colton cody cody we come from a father's company or dad's going to be okay. Now we're going to take that over okay, we still do a lot of direct mail yeah a couple of hours
he's a mod. We started linkedin this year. Yet what are you saying that what's happening on linkedin good? We we so we've got about four thousand followers to get about five thousand
when our videos. How often are you posting once a week once a week and we need to do nine a day? My question is about targeting
yup, we're all very aware,
No, you can run linked in adds against peoples. Job descriptions. Have you don't know yet what we can understand ourselves?
I got a great way for you to learn this I'll. Give you
If you don't want to learn. This is well gimme the website it from g o o
but what's really pumped it. What I'm really excited about this is? U buys clear you
people can literally. This is clear
You- can literally go to Google and say how do I target specific professionals on linkedin adds enter
unlimited ways to figure out how to do it. It's not the tactics. It's the now!
A job the knowledge of knowing that you can target people on linked in lincoln makes direct mail look like child's play,
when you understand it, then, when you really understand it, and you realize that you have to do different content for different doctors and different sectors in geographic gender, race mindset, it gets real gnarly. You understand
Specific companies to write yeah, you can and the way you do, that is you need to target a specific
We all the employees and the add the piece of content sorts does.
By your no the jury
Didn't know like you see when going through what you're trying to do is get the employees to forward it to the cfl where the ceo or the head medical device buyer, I dunno. What that terminology will be is where I'm going
you can literally right the words to say: does europe if you're, so
fast financial services, literally right along with the video or the pdf or whatever you want you gonna, try. Difference now does yours.
Oh, no that
we can because even know the cf own. That company is a woman like you do such smart stuff people do all. This is just like health and wellness
Would you like to be healthier in better shape? Let me help you eat well and exercise everyday. Meanwhile, people like
ass implants steroids like
apple cellular, celery, Julie, people looking for the hack, because people don't one put in the work is like get out. That's all.
I go to rochdale. I go to scotch plains by the way. That's my favorite other things, side, hustle life, you can be.
when he came here garage ceiling on the weekend selling on Ebay,
In some side cash garage sales anyway, so my question is, though, young forty five prefer you don't get a job get out. There know of the instagram everyone's doing everything and save pace, and for me that could be a little bit later for me to go out and taste sports then went back home to be with my father, tried that and really felt like that. Wasn't for me and my passionate looking for you good, so go back to sports good, still, finding my way there. Why don't have responsibility all that exactly so. My thing is it's like this different athens that I've always thought
oh. So my question is like the taste, you know what I mean. Yes, the kids are going through this, but someone has to hire. Someone has to read my resume to do that and getting past that barrier. All the
The answer to that is yes, and no right. First of all,
Some things have already alluded to hear that time at the next year. I had noticed what I said
he has to reach out to one hundred thirty seven people
people come at Gary. I wanted to be a sports agents,
and I tried really hard and cool bury. How did you go he's like well? I submitted to three places like three.
Like yes, third gatekeepers for certain jobs, potentially for you to taste, there's also
thousand of them. So they have you.
I stole seven thousand, that's a b
The world of content, creation and zeal-
start up costs. One could put
actually if they can afford to one of the reasons
and we're singling out the garage shelving one of the liquid things that a lot of people's again
job at seven, eleven or google
showing just to maintain your lowest possible cost of living. So you can start the thing that makes you happy and your point: twenty five like
years. Well, you'll be thirty. Two years old.
Young. Thirty, two years old is
the entrepreneurship they going to think that are software always brings and I've always been
I saw a while ago, I still saved it on instagram that I always will pick it is to find out what kind of person I am usa for me, though
if that doesn't know how to correct and that you are fortunate enough, yeah yeah that that's right, you worried course. Of course, both
both long before I came along or anybody else, the nature nurture thing has been established, so
I don't know you well enough, but there's a deep me when I was five. It was
naturally that my parents, we were very poor and immigrants, but I still thought it was more fun to go.
double people's driveways.
Snowed until the snow man, because I wanted to dollar that was my chemicals
I was commissioned, because when I was eleven and said, mom everyone's getting nintendo, she said great go by the very good work
like so for you
Potentially it's the complete opposite, which is amazing, maybe
didn't have those chemicals and then, on top of it, you had the report.
and then there's nothing wrong with that. We were. None of us picked our paths where you were fed, so
it's probably more unlikely that you want to go and grind it at zero and build something for yourself and deal with all the fear and anxiety and loneliness and grind and dirt, and
blood. There comes along with it or not
popping models and flying in private.
entrepreneurs that you see on instagram that are completely full of shit? Sorry, Jim,
and you've got a bit of inspiration for us. We agree today to appreciate the love the two year anniversary says: congrats birth like west is yes, yes, what was the most personal personality or it gets a lot more than average
humans like humans? That's a language! If you like, a lot of people were very shy and introverted and don't like the attention from other humans, I don't think they should be making videos music. So you can
real quick, because I want to have how blind people did you ever see.
that interview I had where I came up with the first time of documenting, don't create. I really think people need to think about that. Just make people over think they think they have like even the way you struck
Do you like free stuff or you're baking, everything like shows or structuring it, stop thinking start making cool it up. Here we get on this site. Yes, ma'am. I love love. You grew up in jersey where, where yeah I know, I know it amazing,
I'm listening. I can multitask entrepreneur over here the everyone just free myself out there good for you, but I want to know about two things actually, first date, topics both give you the answer to
but no, this tik tok is raising place right now in a great way, in a great way, the in the east
I am given the same advice. My whole life,
I am very basic you for,
we will follow me and the stream. Thank you
so you guys know I lump
videos. Ten years ago, little chubby or younger version to be saying the same stuff, I'm saying right now so
saying that people know that don't know me one
see matters a lot in the history of my career, the organic way
stating that nobody knows who I am. I want to talk about alabama football. Nobody knows why am I zero followers myspace twitter, facebook,
social cam vine, snapchat instagram, linked in you to none, not
Single platform has even been remotely close to what's happening on Tik tok when used post, your third post, an eight hundred thousand
watch it now, it's already on, if you notice this Iraq is already declining, because here comes the content.
Because there was so much attention compared to content, but you would destroy it on tiktok.
If I were you, I would make three tech talks a the way. I think you
The question they had, which is what are we make? I think you look at. What's on the exploring?
lending page and the biggest mistake people make is
I think here this they go home them explode. I wanna do it a motivated gary saw motivating aiming to do it and the like.
Download, tik tok and are like then are like now want two things: one back to that crazy website: google! It's crazy! It's an epoch! One! You know what works on tik tok enter.
for three hours, but way, more importantly, consume tik tok for five hours and then
decision, don't call your eleven year old need something like what they say. Something about.
She's gonna tell you from an eleven year old perspective. You here for business, for building a break. It you're coming
a different angle, consumer that will help. You know what to make of that.
Do you have an account yet
at lubbock. The welcome I love at times, it's really hard for me to talk to you, because I admire you so much read like I've done this a couple of times. Thank you. It's like I'm freaking out and I'm obsessed with adding doubt right. So, like a guy with the shirt, I want to help him manage the connection. Also, as you know, as I came into your content and how you're like the pied piper for you, don't have to be a jerk to win and empathy and like the alpha guy that preaches kindness, you and kindness, is what I've been doing all my life, so I dove into musical I'm the blood of your old joke.
The story of the new thing right, like coddled by parents. I had to completely unlearned that man over there you gotta, learn it. You gotta, like the dirty you got a you know like. I don't wanna close, because I know that your nagy will beat us up. Yeah, he's tough and then restart again and eatery right that real quick. I apologise. Let's not
It's like none of us picked our spots,
like I'm gonna, be born in russia and consumer. Let's death
over demonize people that had great fortune of being in a situation which has happened, decide what they want in their lives. Like you know, it's we,
We need to deploy self awareness, not everybody supposed to go on and be an alpha number one and build something big like there's a lot of ways,
Can it, but nonetheless I wanted,
that because I didn't want that theme to get too far away, keep going that'd, be the big the big like connection point for me, I'm like yelling, because I'm hispanic and I yell at your clothes when I realize that contact is like networking on steroids, the correct person to person correct, I put on content and put it out. Yes, I'm learning so much from you and then I'm like reading the Steve jobs book and I'm like bro, I'm just learning from from you that he was an audiobook every day, all the time, the plan you know like for free and then you release a library that surgery, yes right so like I just want to. I want you to like talk about that searchable library, okay, so valuable for people that can see that in how you put that together, there's there's two people, the people that can be constantly people that make a ton of content. They don't know what to do with it.
The categories will be so you thank you, so don't want to give you a b. Please do this is from the charger that we gave you last night bro. I love it. Thank you. Thank you for a lovely room and so the search engine we transcribed all my words into meta data. From
Every single video I've ever put out in the history of my life and then put it into a database and made it searchable. So we have a search engine.
what say, I'm still not even promoting. I saw you know it's fun about
playing the longing like it's too. You know your hard core.
My content that you know it exists because I promoted
one day I don't really know where it is. I think it's on my website, like I believe it's gonna, be the
biggest thing. I leave because the earlier thing I talked about, which was like the boys device. Of course you know the the
like I'm so excited that I'm gonna have an alexis skill in ten years.
it's going to allow you to be walking through the kitchen or in the office and say alexa need to speak to Gary Gary
What should I do want? A manager is doing this and I ll actually reply because the data has been structured. That's gonna be read. So that's. Why did it that's what I'm anticipating that
building and I think a lot of people are going to do that with audio and information. I think it's, I think, what we love.
A lot of things you're doing now that you said you would never do because you like speed men,
if you hear ten years ago said you would never text, you now text
many of you five years ago said that you would never use emerges. This is stupid and now you say.
superman
the reason you do. That is because of speed.
the emotion,
literally this is quicker than ok.
All of you are going to use voice devices in your home office because it's can be faster. That's all we choose convenience over everything we don't care about.
we love started my privacy, you loved my privacy, but about
What about it?
credit card all over the internet all day long, the
ass was completely hacked. Every single social security number in this room has been compromised. What's happened, the russians kidnapped you,
we don't care about. Privacy is a fake.
We love convenience, sir. You look great pretty sharp brow like that tie clip a month ago, I remember weather out here: yep yep, the huge market bars everywhere in silver point capital like crazy, therefore raising capital like crazy, and I feel like when you're talking about trap that weird. I don't feel that. But my question is like right: now you will get successful business people all day and post on weekend, all the time being like hey. This is really taken off on. I want to invest, and so were you at a time the private money throwing money into it
VC firm or with hopefully never misses her back. The second you do deal with BC is the second you lose control. How would you target angel investors? I would do what I said to a lot of people here. I think you've got enough juice going on right now that you're, probably better off going to an extremely high net worth individual I'd much. Rather, you take eight million dollars
from a guy or a gal that is either
her generation wealthy or made it
selves and believe in you, because they'll give you a lot more control than some kid that went to Stanford and likes excel sheets evaluation as much as they'll give you disclose that you could have said twelve you're, trying to what break into the school district got it
well. I mean it's one thing: if you put your linked in, like I hate it,
job, I'm looking for a new one,
no kidding, you wouldn't do that.
You feel like it would be disproportionate frowned upon in your organization. If you start to talk about your passion about sports. What's that.
What's her name,
The what about getting a different corporate job, I mean here's, the good news,
That's what you have to do if you're telling me that the culture within the poor water every organizations differently? My company has
so many side, hustles going on I'm running
if you have their own secret, vainer media that compete with us going, you know like, so I think
You may need to find a different place to what I
If you were my sister I'd be like hey,
You know what I'm doing. How many places have you applied? Are
so passionate and slash unhappy
Are you willing to get a job that pays you even five thousand less a year because
eat a little more crow. Maybe you know to public health
This over everything,
Right now, if you painting the picture painting, you have no answer. Unless you go somewhere else, because it sounds like Sarah,
Hunting is a real issue.
Yes, you do any ways if you are prepared to give. What great then do.
I mean, if you prefer to fire, do everything
go punch her in the face, the hi emily, I'm sorry, health, coach, the ok! Yes, yes, yes, and also yes, you're right about now
by putting out the offense trying to stay connected. It's been super easy, for example, I'm the most public private person of all time
I know nothing about. My personally, I post a trillion piece of content, but I put it
my professional world. People carry gary and want to do it on private. Unlike you, don't even know it. My kids look like I'm like. I know what you kids look like in your private, but you ve really push them six times on your bullshit facebook
So I found it very easy to find that the artificial world is always to mice,
this is my point of view- is that it's not the artificial world. That's too much! It's the world period there incapable of judgment.
So, if they're appeasing people on instagram, that's fine they're, appeasing people in real life too. That's why they're leasing a lexus that they can't afford, because they want people to think they're, successful people fronting twenty four seven: three sixty five because they're insecure and if you're insecure, getting off of instagrams, not going to help you. Why don't we take the conversation up a notch and talk about? Why you care about your neighbors opinion or your
opinion. Why so anyone we know that's great, and I honestly, I think it will be a huge trend. I think we're going to use technology so much more than now that there is an increase.
although we swings I've been going
credible businesses,
incredible incredible businesses and centres. We go to the woods for four days, like I've actually been
doing a lot of work lately. I've never been into buying real estate, but I've started the process of looking of major cities and seeing what
most rural one hour,
DR is, and what the cost of the real estate is, because I feel like buying a bunch of trees.
An hour outside of like any major city, they live
he has no self service is lacking.
The business in ten years, because people want it for three days or weak, that's great, but there's a much
your issue at hand, which is: are you capable in dealing with
people's opinions. Ninety nine percent or not, that is because of the last thirty to fifty years of parenting,
dna and many other variables, and that is why I am so passionate about the things I talk about, because when you get quite and it comes in both forms, the biggest breakthrough. I think I've said that
I like almost as the consumer of me, is, if you can't hear the cheering you came here, the booming
I'm sure for a lot of you that have no idea who I am remedy. Seen before. You've seen people come up to reign
some nice compliments and my impact.
you hear that
in the same way that I don't hear somebody saying I'm full of crap or snake oil salesmen. I keep it not too high and I too low and that
It's been quite a bit and I think the reason people struggle is you love instagram when they say you look real pretty, but you hate it when they say you're ugly, you love it.
They say that's fresh, but you
when you see somebody else have enough.
Time and you're at home. People.
too high and too low and slovenia.
Conversations with ourselves limit
Our time on tik tok, not gonna, do it.
just one more because I sign up there,
Are you for up there, but I love you so much. Let's go what you mean.
I think you should go to campus and searched twitter and instagram in that ten mile radius and pay attention to what they like before. You guess.
You should figure out what the demand is.
So are you going to break? I love that so by the way, that's a great counter and something I love like the introduction of something that you know. Humans like in one place as long as it's not so
or and doesn't hit the palate, and I think that can
lay up so ok, so you figure out what you gotta make. Ok.
I don't think it's smart or not smart. I think it's not sport to put yourself into a jail
you saying yourself: I'm do this in three to five years is greatly to anxiety, doing
well, one stood in twelve years, oh by the way,
depends on what the arbitrage is. You might realise after a year wait a minute why, when I open a restaurant, where the leases are too expensive, I want to
nine, more trucks, stay, fluid, don't create an orchard. Here's what you focus on! Let me bring this text max
which has come to these kids a net one. We react to what happens if that
its location, great, that leads to thirteen more food trucks, green
to big company coming into making trying to turn it into a national chain or product that so.
By a frozen food company, keep it
open because a lot of people like their young stage, bakeries arbiter,
The decisions of three to five years are when you that they actually stick to that and then they d
see all the other opportunity, because around this narrow thing that a lot of times, I'm not being the right thing
thank you guys so much.
