Welcome to today's episode of the Gary V. Audio Experience, where we're sharing the most replayed moment from the Erica Taught Me podcast.

Erica started this conversation off by saying that she knows a lot of people turn to Gary for advice when it comes to building businesses.

And she asks the question, what's the quickest way today to get your first $100,000?

Let's hear what Gary has to say about this.

By not liking the word fast, I'm really scared of that word.

I think fast is dangerous, and I think it's a big part of my content.

That's why I talk about patience.

It's why I talk about self-awareness.

The reality is to actually answer you literally, the fastest way to get there is through self-awareness,

understanding what you're actually good at, you know? You know, like, what are you good at? You might be

good at sales, you might be good at operations, you might be good at knowing everything about the

Marvel universe, and that is actually your gateway to get there fastest because it's through content

or flipping stuff on eBay and stuff of that nature.

So I think people will try to chase trends, real estate, crypto, cannabis, AI.

They're just constantly looking at these trends because they see them as things that will

get them there fast.

And I actually think that those are the things

that are most guaranteed to not get you there.

So I think if we can get the word fastest

out of everyone's mouth, especially under 30,

and get the word happiest and most likely in there.

So ask that question again by replacing fastest with happiest and most likely.
