Podcast Summary
Hiring the right team online: Find talented individuals online for your team, focus on growing your business for long-term success, and shift your mindset from material possessions to building a strong team and brand.
Building a successful team is crucial for growing a business, especially in the digital age. Gary Vaynerchuk emphasizes the importance of hiring people who can do things you don't want to do and finding them online. Excuses won't get you far; utilizing platforms like Fiverr, LinkedIn, and Twitter can help you build a team. The mindset to build a business for the sake of building it, rather than for material possessions, is also essential for long-term success. As Gary Vaynerchuk shared, he shifted his focus from becoming a professional athlete to owning the entire team when he realized he couldn't play for the Jets. Similarly, focusing on growing your business and brand, rather than the end goal of acquiring material possessions, can lead to greater success.

Responding to hate with compassion can help you ignore the negativity and focus on your goals. The speaker shares their personal experience of receiving criticism and choosing to respond with love and compassion instead of engaging in a negative back-and-forth.
