Summary

Gary Vaynerchuk believes that entrepreneurial talent is largely innate and can only be developed so far through education. He worries that unrealistic expectations of entrepreneurial success are harming young people's mental health when they inevitably fail to become the next Zuckerberg. Vaynerchuk argues that we should identify our natural talents and focus on being the best versions of ourselves, rather than chase unattainable ideals. Though driven entrepreneurs can find some success through hard work, Vaynerchuk cautions against forcing oneself into a path not suited to one's abilities.
