A couple days ago, I dropped a comment on a @garyvee post then saw this pop up for me a little while later. I got a little fan-boy caught up in the moment & took a screenshot for my collection. If I meet him one day, that'll prove how much of a fan I am & how much it meant to me & that'll be a great story right?? So, of COURSE, that got me thinking: "wait, what? Why would I want to hang onto that for that long for a moment like that??" ...I think I'd rather share the next thought, share the pic now, and get to work! What was the next thought...? . Why is it that him taking 0.9 seconds out of his day means so much to me? I stared at that screen in disbelief for 9 seconds, then took 90 seconds screenshotting, staring, thinking... And it probably sucked 9 minutes of my thoughts that day. It made me think about & appreciate the value of time. He values his time more than I do & has found ways to make it valuable to other people. To the point that they'll PAY him for it! That's a simple definition of success for a lot of people isnt it? Valuing of time... It also presented a new thought: can you get to a point where your time, name, and reputation precede any phone call that you make? Imagine if someone handed you the phone tomorrow and told you it was Jeff Bezos calling... You'd KNOW it was important wouldn't you...? Yeah I know. A lot of writing for a simple screenshot caption isn't it...? Took me over 9 minutes of sitting on Instagram.. Oh & the funniest part?? The Gary Vee video basically said "Stop scrolling on Instagram & go execute!" You like my comment now too, don't you....? #garyveeposts #thoughtstoponder https://www.instagram.com/p/BuqH5Y2BcWX4-xcvINN5fRCdGDOaSKojiw4GbI0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=137702za46jvd
