“Stop whining, start hustling.” – Gary Vaynerchuk

“Hustle is the most important word. EVER!” – Gary Vaynerchuk

“Look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself, ‘What do I want to do everyday for the rest of my life?’ Do that!” – Gary Vaynerchuk

“It’s easy to dream about it…Much harder to execute it…Work!” – Gary Vaynerchuk

“People are chasing cash, not happiness. When you chase money, you’re going to lose. You’re just going to. Even if you get the money, you’re not going to be happy.” – Gary Vaynerchuk

“It’s insane to me to ask anybody to be what they’re not. Know what you know the best, love the most. That’s always going to be the answer to the thing that you have the best shot at winning at.” – Gary Vaynerchuk

“I want to sit with 80- and 90-year-old people more than anyone. They have played this game before. Not one of them has told me, ‘I wish I had more money.'” – Gary Vaynerchuk

“There no longer has to be a difference between who you are and what you do.”
– Gary Vaynerchuk, Crush It!: Why Now Is the Time to Cash In on Your Passion

“Live your passion. What does that mean, anyway? It means that when you get up for work every morning, every single morning, you are pumped because you get to talk about or work with or do the thing that interests you the most in the world. You don’t live for vacations because you don’t need a break from what you’re doing—working, playing, and relaxing are one and the same. You don’t even pay attention to how many hours you’re working because to you, it’s not really work. You’re making money, but you’d do whatever it is you’re doing for free.” – Gary Vaynerchuk, Crush It!: Why Now Is the Time to Cash In on Your Passion

“If you for a second…a half a second…don’t believe in what you’re doing, whether it’s your personal brand or the product you represent, you need to get out now!” – Gary Vaynerchuk

“There is never a bad time when you believe, when you work hard, and when you know what you’re doing.” – Gary Vaynerchuk

“This is where it’s crucial, you have to do what you love!” – Gary Vaynerchuk

“It all starts with that first moment when you look in the mirror. ‘What do I want to do? What do I want to do?'” – Gary Vaynerchuk

“I don’t want to hear about this 9 to 5 bullsh*t. I don’t want to hear about this two job thing, right? 9 to 5…I don’t have time. If you want this, if you’re miserable, or if don’t like it or you want to do something else, and you have a passion somewhere else. Work 9 to 5, spend a couple hours with your family, 7 to 2 in the morning is plenty of time to do damage. But that’s it…it’s not going to happen any other way.” – Gary Vaynerchuk

“If you want this, if you want bling-bling, if you want to buy the jets, if you wanna do sh*t… WORK…that’s how you get it.” – Gary Vaynerchuk
