I decided to share this video from Gray Vaynerchuk because it reminds me that effort really does pay off. Too many people let themselves get caught up in their concerns about not being smart enough or not having the skills to do something. Skills matter far less than effort and implementation.

One thing you will learn when you reach out and surround yourself with successful business owners is that most of them aren’t any smarter than you are and most of them don’t know as much as you do BUT all of the successful business owners I know share on trait. They have put in the effort necessary to be successful.

The most successful have modeled other successful business owners and reached out for the best coaches because they understand that value that can be found when they implement that one new distinction and one more idea.  Notice I bolded implement, that’s because no amount of raw talent and no amount learning has ever made anyone successful. It all comes down to puting in the effort and implementing.

Enjoy the short video from Gary  V.  If you haven;t heard of him before go to his blog and review some of his other videos. He is one of the thought leaders that I follow and learn from.
