10 Success Principles I Learned from Gary Vaynerchuk 

Gary Vaynerchuk is an entrepreneur, investor, author, public speaker, and internet personality. After graduating from college, he helped grow his family’s wine business into a $60 million venture by turning it into an ecommerce brand and launching Wine Library TV, a YouTube series about wine.

Today, Gary is one of the most recognizable names in social media and entrepreneurship, best known for his practical advice, unfiltered rants, and relentless energy. 

I love listening to the DailyVee during my morning workouts—more than music, it gets me into action mode. So here are 10 success principles from Gary Vee that I’ve found valuable and motivating:

1. Bet on Your Strengths

“Don’t give a f*** about what you suck at.”

You grow by leaning into your strengths, not your weaknesses. 

Gary encourages everyone to self-audit—or ask those close to you—to discover what you’re naturally good at. Once you know your strength, double down on it.

2. Work

“Position yourself to succeed.”

If you want success—whether it's wealth, freedom, or recognition—you have to work for it. 

That means using your off-hours wisely. Build your brand or business after work. Everyone has time. Turn off Netflix.

3. Put Business in Perspective

“There will always be a bad day.”

Entrepreneurship is tough. It’s a long, lonely journey filled with ups and downs. 

Expect the setbacks. Embrace the grind. And when it gets hard, remind yourself why you started in the first place.

4. Execute Your Ideas

“Ideas are s***. Execution is everything.”

Having a great idea means nothing if you don’t act on it. 

Uber wasn’t the first idea of its kind, but it succeeded because it was executed well. What sets you apart is how well you follow through.

5. Don’t Overlook Storytelling

“People buy with emotions.”

Great storytelling creates emotional connections. 

Whether you’re selling wine, sneakers, or software, it’s the story behind the product that drives people to buy.

6. Care About Your Customers

“There aren’t enough people running businesses with their hearts.”

Yes, numbers and tactics matter. But don’t forget your customers are people. 

Showing empathy and offering great service builds loyalty—and long-term success.

7. Stick to Your DNA

“You need to do you.”

What works for others might not work for you. Don’t try to be someone you’re not. 

Be self-aware, lean into your unique strengths, and if needed, surround yourself with people who complement your skill set.

8. Do the Things That Matter

“Most things don’t matter.”

Don’t sweat the small stuff. 

Focus your time and energy on actions that actually drive results—whether that’s building your brand, creating content, or closing deals.

9. Don’t Make Excuses

“Lack of optimism is the biggest obstacle.”

Time and money aren't the biggest issues—your mindset is. 

Excuses are easy, but they won’t build your business. Be resourceful, stay positive, and move forward.

10. There’s No Overnight Success

“Luck comes from hard work.”

Every “overnight success” is backed by years of hustle. 

Don’t chase shortcuts. Stay consistent, keep learning, and put in the reps. Eventually, the results will come.

These are just a few of the lessons I’ve picked up from following Gary Vaynerchuck. If you want the full experience, watch the original video by Evan Carmichael here.
