Hustle 2.0 says Gary Vaynerchuk

Author: admin, September 3rd, 2008

I recently explained here on the blog that my lack of work online is actually caused by information and life-overload! I’m learning SO MUCH and it is absolutely wonderful, but, sometimes too much learning – and not enough DOING – can be a bad thing! And then, of course, there’s all that ‘regular life stuff’ that gets in the way, too! I can get distracted and overwhelmed in nothing flat!

[Aside: Am I the only one in the world who continues to use the phrase: 'still pause'???! Quote from that last post: "Can’t the world still-pause while I get things in order here?" Ha! Along with my 'records' and 'albums' and 'eight tracks' and all the other phrases that keep me stuck in the 80's! 'Welcome to the 'how to work at home in the 80's blog, folks!']

Back on topic, though, I made that frustrated-I’m-overwhelmed-and-that’s-really-why-I’m-so-inactive-online post and the very next morning, Gary Vaynerchuk, one of the COOLEST dudes online, tweeted this:

That guy is always on! How does he do that? I responded back to him with this:

And let me tell ya – if he was selling ‘Gary’s Magical Motivation-in-a-Bottle’ – I would be the first one in line buying it! And really, just watching his videos gets you pumped UP! As a result of one of the answers to his above question, Gary made a video for GaryVaynerchuk.com. His topic doesn’t exactly address me in my current situation as a stay at home mom, but, I can definitely apply it and get some KICK A$$ use out of it! And I have! Watch the video and we’ll talk some more….

Gary Vaynerchuk says, You Can Have Both….Jobs. Watch the video and be inspired!

I LOVE THAT, PEOPLE! JUST LOVE IT! I have been using that since the minute I first watched the video. When I get tired, distracted, not sure what to do next – my brain whispers to me, “Hustle 2.0″ and then I get so excited, re-energized just from the thought of Gary’s inspiring message and holler out to my empty house,

Seriously, ya’ll – I just love it. It gets me centered and gets me focused. It’s so simple and so right on. Just sit your a$$ down and do something, you know? Make things happen! A bunch of lollygagging here and there is not gonna make anything work. Not. one. thing.

And another thing, being afraid of things working – forget that! Don’t waste opportunity, because, subconsciously, you’re afraid to succeed. Success is unfamiliar – we don’t (some of us) know what it looks like or feels like. What if it’s icky?

Are you crazy?! Hustle 2.0 and tell your subconscious to go fly a bloody kite!

That last bit, that lovely ranting lecture, was really meant for me, from me. I know I’ve done this multiple times in my life, but, quite recently, I let a very good opportunity, that I knew good and well was a great opportunity – pass me by. I was wondering about it yesterday and thinking that I probably let myself be ruled by my evil, Negative Nelly subconscious in letting that go. And that right there, folks, is nothing but just plain silly!
