Hacking Your Life - Personal Growth

I recently read an article by Gary Vaynerchuk, called…

“Hacking Your Personal Growth in 30 Seconds”  

Lately I have been in a *funk* because of….stuff… and this article kinda slapped me in the face about my attitude lately, in the best way.

It’s 7 steps for stopping all that nasty self talk, self sabotage, and negative crap that we let drag us down into the “I can’t”  and the “there is NO way THAT will work” and the “that’s stupid” talk that we torture ourselves with at times.  It’s not easy to always be positive, and upbeat… we all have moods, or “things” .. but we can’t give up!  

  1. Build up your self confidence
  2. Get perspective (Gratitude.)
  3. Never count on luck — there is no such thing as random luck.
  4. “I literally spend double zero on my competition” ~Gary
  5. Stop complaining.  “Complaining is defense”
  6. Build a personal brand.
  7. Be fearless, and if you can’t be fearless then ponder “in front of whom are you afraid of failing?”

All of these are really good points of advice, and a beneficial way to stop the negative self-talk, playing the victim, or giving up on your dreams before you have even tried to achieve step one.  

Gary explains his points far better than I possibly could, so go check out the article…  


The rest of his stuff is not bad either -- ♦️
