Use Your "Escape Hours" to Actually Esca...

Gary Vaynerchuk
About this episode

Today’s episode is a GaryVee TV Classic from an interview on “Tea With GaryVee”. So many people fall into the vicious cycle of doing a job they hate to afford their lifestyle and then being too "burned" out at the end of the day to work on their real passion. If you realized that if you used your time to "escape" and out that towards something you actually love, you could escape the job you hate and work on your passion full time. Slowly but surely your side hustle will take off, give you enough stability to quit your job, and then you will never be too "burned out" to keep going because you are doing what you love most! Enjoy! Let me know what you thought.
