Short video excerpt of a conversation between Ryan Daniel Moran and Gary Vaynerchuk (Gary Vee) about the central role of self-awareness in personal and business success. Gary Vee argues there is no secret model for success but that self-awareness—recognizing who you actually are and positioning yourself to play to those strengths—is a primary determinant of winning.
Gary Vee was the first person that I booked ever to speak at one of our live events because I thought he was 10 years ahead of me and I wanted to find out what he knew that I didn't. And there's certain things that I realized that he had figured out ahead of me, and this is one of them.
I can tell you right now, there's no secret, there's no model, there's no system. But there is something that completely maps to success through and through. I just don't know how to teach it and I actually don't know if it's teachable. If you were fortunate enough to be sitting in this room right now and you think that you have self awareness, then you are very gifted and you have a real shot of winning. The single biggest reason most people don't win or build bigger businesses or are successful or whatever they want is because they lack self awareness. They hope and dream to be something and they've tricked themselves to what they're actually about. The second that you're willing to accept who you actually are and then put yourself in a position to win around that skill, the second you start seeing upside and.
