A Mashup: No Excuses

Gary Vaynerchuk
About this episode

If you're unhappy, there's no excuses for sitting around and complaining that the world's not fair to you, or that you had a sh*tty upbringing or any other "excuses" that are preventing you from doing your thing. I'm empathetic to those issues from your past, but right now is the time to drop those and leave them where they were, and focus on what's in front of you. <3
