I've explained in some other videos that 87% of people are working at jobs that
they do not like and this is a huge source of depression if you fall into
this 87% make sure that you stay tuned and watch this entire video as we do a
book review for crushing it by Gary Vaynerchuk what is up everybody this is
Chris from the rewired soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the
solution and I'm sorry I didn't get this video out yesterday yesterday I was out
at the annual out of the darkness walk that is hosted by the American
Foundation for Suicide Prevention and it was amazing but I was exhausted we've
lost four it was like five miles or something like that I was out there with
my son my girlfriend her cousin my buddy came out and there was like over 1,400
people and it was awesome they ended up raising like over $60,000 for suicide
prevention and awareness so it was great but I was exhausted so I didn't get a
video out but anyways let's get started if you are somebody who is working at a
job that you are not happy with you need to read this book and if you know
somebody who isn't happy with their job please share this video with them or get
them a copy of this book so first off you all know I'm a fan of disclaimers
and the big disclaimer here is I am not telling you to quit your job all right I
am a mental health Channel I have somebody with an anxiety disorder I do
not want you to go out and cause yourself a panic attack okay but in this
video we're gonna talk about some lessons from this book about how you
might not be stuck in the situation that you think you're stuck in for those of
you who don't know who Gary Vee is he's a purebred entrepreneur who is often
referred to as a motivational speaker first and foremost I want to say I hate
motivational speakers and I don't view Gary as such I see him as someone who
has realistic practical and passionate about seeing people genuinely succeed so
for any of you who are familiar with Gary Vee and watch his videos or read
his books or anything like that I want to start off by saying like this is
book is this book is absolutely nothing that I expected like I remember before
like picking up a copy of this book and reading it to one of my friends I'm like
Gary says like the same thing over and over and over again like two things
first off that's not a bad thing it's not a bad thing like we as people were
like so resistant to people repeating themselves over and over again but like
I work at a drug and alcohol rehab where we have to do that and you have to do it
with everybody because we are very thick head in southern people and unless we
hear things dozens and dozens and dozens if not hundreds of times it doesn't get
through this thick skull all right but anyways the first thing that I noticed
about this book and really loved about this book is Gary is barely in this book
okay this is a collection of very real inspirational stories about how you
watching this video or anybody you know can't start working on a path so you're
no longer working at a job that you hate going to like come on people this is a
place where we spend most of our lives okay
so you should not be working somewhere that you absolutely hate so let's jump
into the first lesson from crushing it by Gary Vaynerchuk lesson number one
quit wasting time everybody watching this we have one life to live just one
just one as far as we know of you should not be wasting it doing something that
you don't like doing and to go even further with that not just something you
don't like doing but something that is actually making you depressed I don't
think enough people understand that we live in this amazing time this amazing
time where you can literally do something that you're passionate about
or knowledgeable about or even a combination of the two and start
bringing in some income so you no longer have to stay in a place that you hate
most people stay at a job they hate because of the money and look I get that
I'm a father I got bills I need things and I need money I get that but think
about this what if what instead of coming home and zoning out
after your terrible day of work you spent one hour or two hours doing
something that you love or are passionate about what if after a year of
doing this a year of doing this every month you're bringing in an extra
thousand dollars so after a year of doing this you're bringing in a thousand
dollars a month twelve thousand dollars a year so if you're sitting at a job and
you hate that's paying you sixty thousand dollars a year you can leave
that job go to a job that you're making fifty thousand dollars a year at and
you're still coming out a little bit of it ahead but mainly you're coming out
ahead mentally think about that for a second like one of the reasons why this
is the very first lesson I wanted to just kind of throw out there for you
it's because a lot of people not only are they working at jobs they dislike
but other people are working at jobs where they work their butt off and
they're not getting paid that much and then they think they have to get a
second job and usually that second job is something that they like even less
what if instead of getting that second job you were doing something that you
actually liked doing lesson number two literally anyone can
do this anyone right now you might be thinking not me know anyone like
something that I love about people and why I enjoy just meeting new people and
having conversations is like everybody has these very unique things about them
that I absolutely love and the problem is is that a lot of people downplay it
right but like what you should do is start to acknowledge it celebrate it and
start documenting it so here are two great examples from the book okay first
there's Pat Flynn alright Pat Flynn was an architect and he was working at a job
and his company was going through massive layoffs I believe back in like
2008 when the economy was a plummeting right and Pat Flynn was able to pass
this architect test and a lot of people can't pass it so what he ended up doing
was just kind of gathering all those knows together and he made a website
helping people pass this test like he was purely just putting this information
together helping people out for free he started to get a lot of web
site traffic so eventually he's like you know what I'm gonna take all this
information I'm gonna organize it a little bit and I'm gonna sell a little
ebook for 20 bucks okay and what ended up happening he was completely blown
away that people actually started to buy this book one because they needed it it
was something of value to a very niche market of Architects who needed to pass
this test but two he had provided so many people with so much free value that
some of the people were just buying the book even though they already passed the
test purely because he offered so much value to them that they wanted to repay
him in some way now Pat Flynn is doing all sorts of stuff and he is just an
entrepreneur doing a lot of different things teaching people how to make
income the next example from this book is me me Goodwin and this story is truly
inspirational a lot of you watching this might be able to relate to it I know I
can she is somebody who grew up with a very very rough life all right things
were always hard for her okay and one thing that she loved doing was making
clothes so something that she was very good at was just taking fabrics and
making clothes out of them for very little money and she was making the
clothes look like the latest fashions so what she started doing was just simply
documenting it in a blog teaching people how to do the same next thing you know
people started asking her hey can I buy this from you and she was a little
reluctant at first but then she started doing it and now she has a whole fashion
line you can see right here on her Instagram page has almost 300,000
followers like she's doing the damn thing all because she started
documenting doing something that she loves and that she's good at and lesson
number three it's not easy by any means but it's worth it so like me I'm
extremely fortunate I'm very fortunate I actually work at a job that I love I get
to work with people who struggle with their mental health on a daily basis and
I get to help him with it and I love my job so much that I come home and I work
my butt off creating these videos for all of you it is 8
ton of work but ton of work but because it's something that I'm so passionate
about helping people with their mental health increasing awareness about mental
health being an advocate for mental health all these things I love doing it
so it doesn't even seem like work now if you don't fall into the same category as
me I want to let you know like Gary Vee is not some snake oil salesman
so I write before making this video I actually was talking to somebody about
this theory I have this theory that we spent like about two decades all right
there was about two decades where we had friends and family members trying to
like get us into their like weird wacky pyramid scheme or we were played with
these ads on TV all the time with like get-rich-quick so I think when people
like hear about these kind of things like following your passion and doing
something that you like to bring in some extra money like they're like nah man
this is some kind of trick like this is not what it's about
like I mentioned at the beginning of this video like something I love about
Gary Vaynerchuk is that he's logical and realistic like he's not trying to make
you think you can do something that is completely insane and he's also very
clear that you can't just throw up an Instagram account start posting your
favorite Harry Potter quotes and get rich overnight and he's also not saying
that you can just throw up a YouTube channel take your cell phone out and
record yourself like teaching your dog a couple new tricks and like make an
entire living off of it like all the stuff that we're talking about it's
gonna take work consistency and patience and something I love about Gary Vee is
that he's very honest like most people who do this aren't gonna be rich they're
not gonna be famous but hey who cares that's okay like what we're trying to do
is be a little bit more happy and satisfied with our lives like that's the
goal like that's the top of the mountain you know what I mean like getting rich
and making a lot of money should it never be your goal it should never be
your goal in fact right up here in the info card I will link another video
about how success does not equal happiness like it's something that we
need to realize but happiness does lead to success and
it's been proven time and time and time again I would not be telling you to read
this book if this wasn't something that I've seen with my own two eyes over and
over and over again I even know a lot of people who are
doing exactly what this book is talking about and here are just a few examples
so some of you have seen me mention my friend Kayla and some other videos her
channel is pink Oh bunny she's also on Instagram she loves to cook if something
that she loves to do and over five years of busting her butt and extremely hard
work she's making a living doing what she loves and then there's Jordan I
don't personally know Jordan but Jordan is the perfect example
so what Jordan did was this all she did was on Instagram she documented her
weight-loss journey of losing a hundred thirty pounds now I don't want to
minimize it like Jordan is hustling she's very active and doing her thing
and now she's carried over that that same following over to YouTube as well
but like think about it like I'm trying to explain the reality of the situation
Jordan is now making a living because she lost weight and she was probably
going to do that anyways but because she documented it she is now making a living
off of something that came natural to most people speaking of Jordan now let's
talk about my fabulous wonderful girlfriend Tristan
all right Tristan is an amazing artist and on Christmas I got her an iPad and
what she started to do was just doing digital art and someone she drew was
Jordan and if you're wondering where my amazing thumbnail art came from it was
actually Tristan she drew that picture of Gary Vaynerchuk and because my
girlfriend has been posting this stuff on Instagram and selling her services
she has actually had people hit her up and drop pictures for them she's drawn
pictures of people she's drawn pictures of their animals and while she's not
making a full-time living off of it she is bringing in some extra money to just
do some things that she likes doing her buy clothes or makeup she does love her
make up let me tell ya anyways she's another great example of doing something
she likes doing and generating some extra income off of it and then there's
me all right like I said I absolutely love my job and I love what I do but
like I said I got a kid to feed I got bills to pay and stuff like that so what
I've been doing for a long time is freelance writing and I absolutely
despise it it's just I've been doing it for so long it's very monotonous and
tedious and stuff like that I just don't like doing it anymore so I have to force
myself to do it to bring in some extra income but because of my hustle and hard
work I've been working on the rewired soul for less than a year and just last
