Summary
This episode is another GaryVee TV Classic, an interview from “Tea with GaryVee”. Most people that are struggling to turn their dream into reality are being held back by outside voices. Whether it is your parents, friends, or relatives, somebody's negative feedback on what you are doing is stopping you from fully committing, and it is only because you are listening to them. You let their negativity get into your head and you believe it. Silencing that negative voice in your head, filling it with louder positivity, and not over-valuing any outside voices (good or bad) is the mindset you need to stay the course. Enjoy! Let me know what you thought.

| 0:23.9 | How do you distance yourself from your art enough so that it doesn't feel like you're |
| 0:29.3 | putting a piece of yourself out there and then feel the rejection when it's not being |
| 0:37.9 | like people are not like you're getting it or commenting it or buying it but you don't |
| 0:43.2 | want to take it as a reflection of who like yourself for a couple things. |
| 0:49.2 | I actually don't think you should attach. I think you should understand that you're making the art |
| 0:53.6 | that you want to make and sometimes commercially it'll be successful and sometimes you don't. |
| 0:57.9 | I put out enormous amount of things that people don't like in any shape or form or give a shit |
| 1:02.4 | about and I find that exciting not devastating. I don't take it personal because I'm not in |
| 1:09.4 | control of people's opinions. I'm in control of what I get to make because I want to make it |
| 1:14.8 | and sometimes that's going to be commercially successful and sometimes it's not but I didn't |
| 1:19.5 | make it to be commercially successful. I made it because I wanted to make it. You need to make it |
| 1:24.1 | about your process, not the validation of people appreciating it. |
| 1:29.2 | Yeah, so I kind of started on TikTok because I started before and I kind of like |
| 1:34.8 | got off of it because I wasn't getting a lot of views and stuff and then like I started listening |
| 1:38.8 | to you and I'm like I need to get on that like yesterday. So I started on it and I'm posting about |
| 1:44.1 | one to two a day and I always feel really like I don't have enough stuff to post because like |
| 1:50.1 | creating tens like these like take a long time and then creating my illustration sometimes |
| 1:56.0 | takes a long time trying to balance my full-time job with illustrating. So it's kind of like |
| 2:02.5 | I don't know. And you do know that you're one illustration away from your career changing, right? |
| 2:10.2 | Yeah, I know that but it doesn't feel that way to me. |
