Should You Really Be an Entrepreneur?

Gary Vaynerchuk
About this episode

It doesn’t actually matter to me whether you want to work 18 hours a day for the rest of your life, live on the beach, or watch Netflix all day.

I’m just putting pressure to get people’s actions to map to their ambitions.

Hope this episode helps a few of you figure out who you are, your strengths and weaknesses, and gives you a better sense of what you want to do.
