Get your priorities straight, nicely done with the explanation Gary to why it’s important to understand the truth about yourself and what it takes to achieve your dreams and aspirations.
This is a tough one for me. I am a self-employed personal trainer now and am having trouble determining what the finish line is. Do I want to work with athletes, establish an online training business, focus more on nutrition etc.
Even though I know about all those things you mention in this vid it somehow hit me. I love your vids man. Big warm thank you for bringing value to my life. Wish you the best.
I want more than one thing. But, I believe I still have focus. I want to make awesome music videos for money. And awesome comedy videos. And in parallel, I want my social media to continue growing showing off the skills, people and ideas that I meet and learn on the way. The balancing act improves 24/7/365. And I also will be on your show because I will challenge your theses and I believe you will respeck it and like it. Thank you!
I'm loving the "know it's black and white. Forget the grey." By the way Gary, this may sound irrelevant but I thought it'll be interesting to know what faith shapes your character – do you have a religion?
Great content. Start with where you want to be and work backwards to figure out how to get there. On a design note, the white text on the green battery doesn't work. There's not enough contrast.
Gary, do you have any theories or advice or things you've done in the past on how to figure out exactly what it is you want? I'm 21 and this is my exact dilemma in life right now.

Is this something that can take time to figure out? At 20 I still haven't figured out what it is that I want
I want to a judge by the time I'm 29 and a Minister of the Supreme Court in my country by the time I'm 40. And 12% body fat.
Love this video. I'm trying to do this in education.

So true there are so many different ways to make it, you have got to just decide on your own personal route…
What does it mean to not be emotional about it?

Any advice for a 17 year old who wants to start a smoothie / dessert based company ?
This is the video that changes everything for me. I'm positive. Today is my birthday and thank you GV!
Powerful stuff Gary. My mentor told me the same thing earlier this week and has put me on an exercise to figure it out. Thanks for the value.

pure truth
Gary, do you have any theories or advice or things you've done in the past on how to figure out exactly what it is you want? I'm 21 and this is my exact dilemma in life right now.
So do you start at the top and reverse engineer it till the point you're currently at so you know the steps to take?
can someone tell me what reverse engineering is?
what does he mean by reverse engineering to your goals?
You're a superhero Gary.
The secret is to work on what you want to do. Not "become" something.
