Twelve and a Half
Gary Vaynerchuk  

Summary

Decent advice from Gary Vee on being a good leader

Notes

Patience is a practical way to get to your ambition

The growth potential of most businesses, teams and countries is limited by the emotional intelligence of their leaders

Gratitude, being thankful, showing appreciate for and to return to kindness

Bring value to every person you interact with

Triple down on your strengths

Don’t overvalue your own opinion. It makes it easier to not overvalue the opinion of others

Surround yourself with optimistic people and limit your interactions with negative people

When you can feel what others are feeling (empathy) you develop a great ability to manipulate human beings

Being kind when you’re under pressure is tough but necessary

Tenacity should never equal burnout

To maximize curiosity, you need a strong work ethic and strong dose for endless learning

Patience: the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble or suffering without getting angry or upset

Insecurity festers without the fertilization of patience

Hold onto your convictions until the market tells you you’re wrong

Humility a comfort in one’s own understanding of one’s position in the world

People think fast money is the answer but it is the greatest trick of life

Innovation is based on curiosity
