Find What You're Good at And DOUBLE Down...

Gary Vaynerchuk

About this episode

Today's episode is all about doubling down on your strengths. So many people get caught up in trying to get better at what they are weak at because they believe that the things they are strong at can't be a viable career. Most of the time, parents label their child's passions/strengths as "distractions", so ultimately their child pursues an engineering or a business degree, which turns out to to something they hate/suck at and it leaves them confused and lost later on it life. Find what you're good at and go for it.

Enjoy! Let me know what you thought.
