Gary Vee Mode: Update
Today I was searching through my website when I stumbled across a post from last year: Gary Vee Mode.
On the post, I set myself a goal to go into “Gary Vee Mode” for 4 days. Think of it like Hell Week in the Army, but for online content. (Haha okay, I see why people call me dramatic!)
Every single day it involved:
Post on my blog (as usual)
Post on Instagram stories (10x minimum)
Film and post a YouTube video
Post on Instagram
Post on Facebook
Post on Tik Tok
This ‘mode’ started because I had announced that I feared I wasn’t truly putting in the effort required to achieve my dreams. That’s a bitter pill to swallow. Unless you spit it out.
And I’m so excited when I look back because now I can tell you I well and truly spat it out. (Don’t ask me where this is metaphor going.)
Last year, I was struggling to put out content. This year, I’m happy to say that I’m finally producing a lot more content. Not Gary Vee level (64 posts a DAY), but I no longer feel like I’m not putting in enough effort.
The only thing on that list I’m not doing every day is creating a YouTube video. Now it’s my goal to put up a YouTube video every week. But everything else, I do every single day.
And even though it sometimes takes me into the middle of the night (like right now, it’s one in the morning), it feels. so. good.
Of course, I don’t wish to be “hustling” all day and night to get content out forever, but as I create more, I’m getting the content out quicker and quicker.
Like I said yesterday in my post about how you’ve already made it, I believe the real dream is the struggle along the way – the pursuit.
