Deep dives
Balancing Business and Parenthood
Being an entrepreneur means that your business becomes like a child that needs care and attention. Balancing business and parenting can be challenging, but it's important not to beat yourself up when faced with long work hours and difficult decisions. While no one wants to miss important milestones in their child's life, it's essential to recognize that there will be times when business needs to take priority. The key is to not judge yourself too harshly and to make the most of the time you do have with your child.
The Future of NFTs
The NFT market has undergone significant changes in the past year, and it is maturing rapidly. While there used to be a focus on expensive collectibles, the market is now shifting towards community involvement and club memberships. NFTs, as digital contracts with utility or rights, are here to stay. Just like apps and social media, they are becoming an integral part of our daily lives. While short-term predictions may be difficult, there will always be meaningful NFT projects focused on collectibles, but the majority will revolve around contracts, access, and membership clubs.
Reevaluating Success and Finding Happiness
Gary Vaynerchuk emphasizes the importance of reevaluating our definition of success and finding happiness beyond material possessions or external achievements. He encourages people to focus on how they treat others and reduce their anxiety and fear in life. Gary suggests that a simple life, like those led by people in second or third-world countries, can provide immense happiness, free from the pressures and expectations of a fast-paced lifestyle. He believes that letting go of grudges, seeking joy, and changing one's perspective are vital to finding contentment and living a fulfilling life.
