I saw Gary V live over 6 years ago and he said then get on you tube so I went home bought a round face light and was going to do videos on you tube ❤ I knew what I wanted to do meaning the content and I tried it and I watched it and said ohh hell no ! Lol I did exactly what he said most people will do ! I Critiqued myself 😮I thought I look to silly or I look to old and then I put my light to the side of my room and that’s where it sits to this day 😮 I am so glad I came here today to watch him again ❤ I’m going to stop being insecure and try it again ! ❤ Thank you Gary for all you do ! Hugs ❤Wish me luck !

The fear of success is as powerful as the fear of failure.

This "race" to create more content brings a lot of stress and anxiety. It can work, but really...think about this. More time we expend creating and squeezing our brains and hearts, more stress and DISCONNECTION from real life is growing. Is a huge mental health threat to stick to the cellphone, and also a lot of empty content because of these gurus telling you need produce or create more. HAVE NO FEAR to explore the inner world and create from the heart. Creativity is one of the few things that is separating us from the machines. Go for the balance! Pay attention to your health:) and if you create...CREATE POSITIVE CONTENT! CREATORS RAISE!!!

I’m grateful that Gary did not throw any F bombs on this audience. Proof that he can control his behavior and that’s a good thing.

After years of studying the people of content creation, the biggest fear I see is related to vanity metrics. People have taken a space made for creativity to a place where the numbers mean so much more than the creative expression. They're basing their success off someone else's idea of what it means to be "successful", forgetting (or not even innerstanding) that "success" is 100% subjective.

I like how the crowd is dressed in formal attire but Gary is wearing a Coach T-shirt, pants & sneakers. And they all paid to come see HIM. Speaks volumes. That alone is so cool.

Aristotle, Socrates, Gary Vee...gather the crowds, share a transformational message, change the world and its thinking! Excellent, Gary! ❤

Bro you don't get enough credit for literally introducing the world to the idea of clips from long form content ... I noticed ‼

He is 100% correct. I have every fear he mentions every video i post. I obsess every video to make sure the content is 100% accurate. The internet trolls will destroy a content creator if the make one little mistake. I wish my editing and quality was better, but i always make sure my content is absolutely perfect. There are many video ideas i dont post because i fear and use the excuse "stay in your lane".

Being insecure about my looks has always been the reason I keep away from showing myself. Too fat, to this, to that. And the silly thing is that if I watch somebody else I always find everybody beautiful in their own way. Insecurity about yourself is horrible :( Thank you Gary it made me post a short showing myself as I am :)

I disagree with the Shadow Banning. It definitely is thing.

I listened to this a few months ago when I was contemplating heading back out onto the streets to interview strangers for the online show I'd started a decade earlier but gotten away from to pursue other paths, projects, professional opportunities. As much as those other paths were what I thought "I should be doing", something deep down still felt like it was missing. I'd decided to honor that one day while out on a run and set out to go back to my show - though with trepidation - when I opened my phone to listen to a podcast while running and this episode popped up. I literally heard myself say out loud on the streets, "he's right, it's fear, and it's not worth not following a dream for" and reaffirmed my commitment to myself and my show.

This talk is game-changing and 100% true! “I was never able to form entitlement because nothing ever came easy to me.” I didn’t know when I was young and struggling due to me circumstances that it would later be my superpower. Gary knows! Listen! I am literally making more money because I made time to post more content. 💯 What other people think of me has never bothered me because I’ve survived having nothing! Wishing you all success. “Put in the work!”

I've always said being afraid of failure is normal... But being afraid to try because you may fail that's what will make you a loser...

This is the year for me that Gary's talks are really hitting different. Something he's saying or my perspective's finally shifting. Either way, Gary's on an even higher roll this year than before I feel.

My biggest fear to date was being judged by the people I know and what they think of the content I produce. I signed up for ThinkMedia’s 1K YT Challenge that begins this week and I’m pushing myself to go beyond the insecurity. Im making myself be consistent and get it done.

You're afraid of being judged on video because *you're* judgmental. The minute you stop that, you will release yourself and be able to produce content 24/7.

I needed this today. I got an influencer deal and I need to show my stomach. I’m not even overweight and It’s a bit intimidating.

Phew. It IS why I'm not on TikTok because those kids are mean lol. I love the idea of creating a stable emotional platform first. Good stuff Gary.

P.A.C Platforms - how are they acting -using green screen - impacting culture and what is in.... Definitely have to rewind this part.

Gary has given a lot of keynotes but he still manages to keep it fresh. It's the same message as usual but it seems as relevant today as it did ten years ago. Iteration and repetition may be the best kind of creativity. You don't really need a radically new idea to be creative. You need a good idea and then you just explain from a million different angles. Of course, this is a very hard concept to teach or learn. As usual, what Gary is doing is probably more instructive than what he is saying.

Great message. I broke through one for a day for an entire year (365 days in a row). Fear can be debilitating. Fear can stop us from doing what we truly want to do. The greatest lesson I learned during that year is that once we can take control of our fear rather than letting our fear have control over us, that's when we can experience our fastest growth. F.E.A.R. Faith Erases Anxious Reactions. When your fear is strong, your faith is weak. So when you're experiencing fear, tap into your faith ---- in yourself, in your mentors/coaches, into God. Tap into them to then Do It BECAUSE You're Scared. You got this.

This video is such a gem! I could relate fully as a small creator from Africa. Thanks Gary!

I've been following gary for years, but now i feel that his words are really starting to hit me! Thanks for being active and for bringing so much value to people, Gary!

This is so true 🙌🏽….. too many folks “paralyzing” themselves with unnecessary fear of critique!

At the age of 47, just me a average housewife. I decided to step waay far out of my comfort zone and face my fear and open a KZfaq channel. Now 3 years later I have over 30k subscribers and make a full time living from KZfaq. My life has completely changed. I wish I had done it sooner. If you want to do something like this, doooo it. ❤

Everyone may have a 1970s Hollywood camera. Not everyone is a 1970s Holywood actor.

Some people are hurt by insults but some people are hurt by valuable criticism. Critical comments don't just come from a place of pain. That way of thinking can lead to dismissing people who aren't just praising and agreeing with whatever you say. There are many more modes of interaction than cheering and booing.

15 mins into the content , i have made up my mind to post two contents on IG and whether there are more likes, more views. I am here for free! That is good enough for my vision and goals.

Yes for sure 'everyone in the room should be posting on social media' . Good chance they know how too. I would like too also but find it impossible to understand how to use all these apps. & FB Twitter etc. iv'e done 2 computer courses at collage (Basic) & a Internet marketing course (3 days £2,500). It's not my skill set.

Very encouraging. I am getting my podcast gear ready. Its like a wise man said; never keep your eggs in one basket. Gotta create 2-3 youtube channels and keep giving out good content.

Inspiring keynote! Gary's insights on content creation and leveraging social media for business growth are invaluable. Excited to learn more from this episode!

Thanks Gary I needed to hear this. Exactly the reason my social media and business is not growing. I need to get out of my way. Thanks for all the advice I need to get moving.

Im literally just vlogging my day to day experience of losing everything I had.. and building back anew.. aaaaaand I got 7 subscribers yesterday and lost 2 today lol

Much love Gary! I've been following you since 2016 & I am finally putting myself out there. Currently leveraging my P.B to build a start-up company. Thanks a lot Gary! Thanks for changing my life ❤️

5:19 I like how he’s working on his communication, for many they will miss the skill he’s showing right now by creating ‘I’ talking about himself but for you as the viewer it’s perceived and related back to you saying it. So it’s a self reflection which is what he aimed for, if you caught it.

My nugget from this - "...all that any of us can do is talk about what we're interested in what we know or observations." Thank you!!

So much value in one video! Gary is The Man! Thank you!

4minutes44seconds in and it's already FULL of value and just BANANAS 😘 Love it

this talk really resonated with me. it is difficult to find the time for youtube videos, however we have to make the time. and, i've had over a 2000% ROI in the last 8 months from my online asset. i gotta figure this shit out. thanks Gary

By the grace of God not luck brother!! That was powerful now I me to TAKE ACTION!!

powerful message. i certainly needed this, in your face" truth about why we postpone not advertising in social media. I am actually posting one this Good Friday morning inviting the general public to my church's Easter celebration. Wish me luck, Gary. I'll send you a copy for some hard feedback. Love you brother!! eric

Allowing this video to be the catalyst that entices me to produce content lol I think it's time.. Here for it ✍️

Always inspiring and always ahead of everyone else about social media, this new talk by Gary Vee makes me want to reassess my mission. Thanks Gary.

im here again... again... and again.....

The problem is time.

Massive! Massive value added information!!!Everytime!

Pure gold. Thank you for this Gary

Facts. Fear Kills Dreams. Want Kill Mines. You Better Believe It. 1000k

Thanks Gary! Valuable info....detachment from the good opinion of others is very liberating....as Dr Wayne Dyer used to say " Your opinion of me is none of my business"

Thank you so much for this valuable talk Gary V and being able to listen to it while my family was in the room😊

Very true! I am trying to start making content really soon about information technology. This just hits different...

love you man, anytime i feel down, I just go ahead and give one your videos a go!!! god bless

Gary is Official !

Fair enough Gary, there is a lot of fear when it comes to producing content and people are somewhat controlled by fear so they don't put themselves out there as much as they should. Totally Fair Point. Having said that, on the flip-side, a lot of us don't want to be on social media having our voices heard. There seems like an infinite number of "influencers" who are shouting their message from the rooftop. What I see, from where I'm sitting, is a lot of noisy people that would probably be better off living a quieter life. 😳 Sure, if you're a super competitive person and enjoy spending your Saturdays trying to get a dollar off of a pink elephant plushie toy, you do you. In all fairness, Gary makes it clear that he wants everyone to do what they think is right for themselves. He's not saying that everyone should be super competitive and shout their message from a stage..... Or, karate chops some poor guy over an old Tonka toy at his family yard sale. So, the one person that will halfway read this comment, while they are presumably sitting on the toilet; they should ask themselves, "am I one of those super competitive people that will be happy in the Gary vee style of grinding through life?" maybe you are and maybe you're not but don't let some KZfaq guru influence that decision. Gary once said, "I'm the type of person that would love to lose everything just so I can rise above the ashes like a Golden Phoenix." I don't identify with that statement, not even close, but I'm sure there are those that do. And if you guys identify with Gary, then you should grind it into high gear and make it to the top of that mountain. For me, I'll be sipping on tea and the rest of us losers will keep the lights on if you ever need a cup of tea, yourself. 🥳

One of the most important lessons I've learnt going into the future are through this video. Alot to unpack. Time to get to work! Thanks Gary

Thank you. I needed this. ❤

Thanks, Gary for the advice, I got to get out of my comfort zone and take action! What am do is study social media and post as much content every day about stuff that am passionate about. Thanks again Garyvee.

Hi Gary, I am so proud that you remember about being born in Russia in this difficult for Russia and Russian' people time. You are helping them a lot whether you realise this or not. Russia did a lot of this world being the leader in art, poetry, ballet, business etc. and it's deserve to blossom. You certainly is the one of the most gifted, self confident and related /sweet/compassion person who have an empathy to your audience in the media/business who really wants to tell people the truth.

It’s very true that if we were to use all the platforms, and it’s very important that they’re free. I don’t do it either, so this time, I’ll go along with that. Thank you. 🙌🙏😍

Thank you sooooo much for this. I raised my hand a few times because I do much of what you asked. My 2 take aways are using audio with a still photo and using Greenscreen more! Thanks again🎉

This an honest video that is created to reflect my situation in years. God he is Right !

you gotta be okay with not being liked. people want to be liked by everyone and want everything to be comfortable. i'm a black woman in America so i'm used to not not being liked with or without content

Gary is consistently excellent.

This awesome! Although I'm not in this industry I needed to hear this.

I enjoyed that and i actually took notes. I agree Instagram is where motivation goes to die. I'm ganna focus on KZfaq shorts and Tiktok from now on. Great video! 👍

I literally just made a video about this and then this popped up. Great topic.

This is the best thing I've in heard in years.. Time to take action

the camera is not my problem - Gary popping up on my timeline prodding me to restart my vlog is... :O - thanks pal

Seeing and being seen, or adjusting to each humans capacity, theres wear and tear in everything nowadays

Thank you very much for the information!

Gary is a Legend!

Wasted 2 years of my life trying make is it as an nft artist thanks to Gary

Excellent content. Glad I watched this video. Will share

True fear is so paralyzing thanks for this

my hero everything, he says made sense.

This hit, I felt everything he said

This video resonated with my soul.

I started my youtube channel because of him.

Thanks a lot for this masterclass!

Negative comments from others are their own projected self expression of jealousy, hurt, anger at themselves, self pity.

great value

Awesome keynote, GaryVee. Exactly what I needed to hear. Definitely my truth - I've been TOO scared and insecure to contribute. Fear has kept me broke. 👎Thank you. 🙌

I love Gary’s body language 😂❤️

Opening intro: boom. Let’s go.
