Just Close Your Eyes Until You're 29.

In this episode of The GaryVee Audio Experience, I talk about why you should just close your eyes until you're 29. I share why nobody cares about your excuses, why your need of things is killing you, and how to recalibrate your perspective. I also discuss why time is your asset in your 20s, and why the 99% that achieves are willing to sacrifice and think in 50 year terms, not 50 day terms. You'll learn about: • Why Excuses Don't Matter • Your Need of Things • How to Recalibrate Your Perspective

  Everybody wants to come up with excuses. "I'm this, I wasn't born that way." "I'm stuck, I'm in a rut." "I wasn't born here, this." "You can't be lost in life when you're this young." "I'm a female, I'm an immigrant, I'm a minority, I'm transgender." "Ex- excuses." Reality, the problem is, nobody cares. Your lack of patience is killing you, slowing you down. And everybody else, your need of things is killing you. I don't need a fucking watch, I don't need a fucking whip. You need to be happy, because happiness drives everything. You're not lost in life, you're just early in the process. Everybody's trying to prove something so early. You fucking wrap your head around not giving a fuck about any advancement to your 29?

  Please, whatever it takes, call your grandmother, go to your great-grandfather's burial spot, go back to the old country, go to a shelter, do something! Do something that recalibrates your perspective on what is actually going on here. Every person in here fucking won the Lotto. You won! Way too many people have made decisions without ever trying. Everybody's judging themselves way too early. You can literally do four different things over the next two years, six months at a time, to figure out everything that you think you might like, you should try to do. Doing something around passion is very similar to love. You're blinded because you like it. It's not rational. It's not rational.

  The number one reason I push patience... Patience, man, patience. Everybody's looking up to audit themselves where they are now. Is because patience will give you the air cover to take risks. Time is your asset. What I would do is gather as many experiences as possible. The one thing a 20-year-old has over me is 20 fucking years. Get the fuck out of the machine for a second and think about what you're doing here. You get optimism and patience, you're fucking off to the fucking racist. The 99% that achieve are willing to sacrifice, be persistent, put in disproportionate work, and think in 50-year terms, not 50-day terms.
