Why 99% of Young Entrepreneurs are Playi...

Gary Vaynerchuk
About this episode

Today's episode is all about advice I'd give to the young entrepreneur. 99% of people in today's society spend all their time trying to be better at things they're bad at. While its a good habit to try and round yourself out, as an entrepreneur you're going to want to triple-down on your STRENGTHS. You don't need to learn how to code, be a better public speaker, be a better salesman, etc. All you need to do is find your strength, hone it and go for it.

Enjoy! Let me know what you thought.
