A Rant That Will Destroy Your Imposter Syndrome On Social Media
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 сер 2022
- People want it before they are it … more of you need to create content under the context of being an enthusiast not an expert.. so many struggle with imposter syndrome because they know they aren’t “it” I think too many are enthralled with being an Expert .. I think when you change that to enthusiast it allows you to make content and gets you on your way, your fear 😨 goes away and your creativity goes up! Have a feeling someone’s life just adjusted in a positive way ♥️💜

I love this!!! 🙌😎🎉
Enthusiast…… damn that just did it for me 🤯
Fuhhh being the expert.
Switching from expert to enthusiast... Gary, that is life-altering advice, in a hugely, hugely positive way. Thank you very, very much! 😊
Gary Vs Gary - and the topic is Imposter Syndrome, damn!
This is EXACTLY what I need rn, literally such a similar situation with a different niche. Thank you Gary (left) for asking the question and thank you Gary (right) for switching my view of the whole matter. That was awesome!
I needed this. Thx algorithm
“Be an enthusiast not an expert” “If you are in a place worrying about friends judging you, you need that even more” solid. Let’s get after it.
YES 50-year olds DO want to know how to do that!! Working on it myself with this platform while working a full-time job.
While at university, many years ago, I had an idea to travel the world and make videos about it. I studied photography and video art and even went as far as to set up a brain storm session with my friends to figure out a way to do it. Money was a huge challenge and we thought about trying to get sponsorships to help us pay for cresting the content. I lacked the confidence and courage back then to even try but damn-people are doing this now!
So after university I moved to NYC for work and it seemed more “practical” at the time-the travel vlogger dream tucked away somewhere (the name didn’t exist then lol).
Years later and I’m married with a mortgage ;) it’s not a bad life at all but my husband and I are both explorers at heart. I want to channel that energy into something better for us.
I’ve dreamed of creating this on-line business to get us out into the world more and enjoy a new chapter in our lives. We both have been working so damn hard all our lives, since a very young age-I’d like us to be able to see the world together beyond the three weeks of allocated vacation time from our jobs.
I’ve attempted a few online businesses and spent a lot of money doing so. Didn’t go anywhere and I invested 10+ years in the side hustle. I realized I wasn’t passionate about what I was doing-I was trying to escape and that wasn’t motivation enough-there are too many comforts that make it easy to settle. It wasn’t a total loss; I learned a lot about so many things (so many things to learn about the business, marketing, design, etc and it keeps building. Getting on UA-cam has been something I’ve wanted for at least a decade but I was inconsistent in my efforts. Imposter syndrome-fear of not being seen as an expert-Gary nailed it-totally kept me from giving it a real shot. Fuck that. Life is too short to hold back and I’m living that realization right now!!
This is a long comment! Bottom line I am motivated to do what I actually wanted to do finally-I think I had to try and fail so many time to wipe out those other “maybe this business will work?” until I had nothing left but my original idea!!!
So I’m creating videos, recording everything. I forgot how much I love this process! I plan to release them in October. While they may not be AMAZING to start, I am committed to making it work and to keep trying.
It feels right, coming full circle back to my original idea so long ago. My advice to anyone reading this is that it’s never too late unless you decide it is 😘
Congrats to you (and your husband) for doing what you want to do for you to a live the life you want to create!
Keep going and very happy to have read this. Keep going and you shall make it happen, because you learned what works and doesn't for you + to take care of your passion and dream, since you tried the "safe" and "stable" way already. Purpose and fulfillment is around the corner!
Yes!! Let's go!!
Be an enthusiast! This phrase is in my head ever since I heard you say it in one of your other videos and now reminded here again. It has helped me to publish articles that otherwise would not be as vulnerable and open. Thank you for the encouragement to go for our dreams and for letting go of the shackles of "I need to appear like an expert".
I haven’t consumed Gary Vee content in over two years. Gary (on the left) is going thru the shit I’m experiencing inside. Enthusiast > Expert really changes my internal conversation. Thanks, Gary - on the left and the right.
Do you like the term being called an influencer?
@@RockPowerUSA not in its popular context & definition.
Same here, in terms of what I've been going through too.
I am the Gary on the left - this is really mind opening - what's your Instagram ? We can follow our journey and do a live together where we share our experiences ;-)
"Fake it until you make it" is such bad advice and sadly many follow it. Iove that in your talks you bring it up, guaranteed many of your own audience still believes this. I appreciate the part where you talk about being an enthusiast is more a genuine approach which I've done the last couple years and I don't have issues with imposter syndrome.
The word “enthusiast” really changes the game!
In response to the question regarding wanting to look like a pro to others and being scared of judgement….Gary is right that it is earned……but I understand where the question is coming from. You start where you are, and be your most authentic self, and put out content that is quality content, and change how you view yourself. You are passionate, love traveling, and want to share your life with people. After some time with your travels, the things you learn, the mistakes you make, will be the content you end up coming up with that nobody else can compete with because it was your own personal experience. That is what you earn. Initially it won’t be perfect but you’ll find the ideas for optimization on your journey. You become a master after knowing yourself and how you do your own work.
Real shit 💯🙏
Good thoughtful response Pria :)
This is both the blueprint and sound logic! You have the mind for success. Keep it up, family!
My perception just changed . Thank you Gary! Your positivity will come back
I have never thought of it this way, thank you! I always knew i was not a backpacking expert, but just being an enthusiast takes the pressure off!

Wow. I'm 50 and I needed to hear that. What a great video.
Changing the words
expert or Teacher to enthusiast is a true breath of fresh air. Thanks Gary! God Prosper You!
I had such bad imposter syndrome when i first started UA-cam … but just bein honest and being myself helped decreased it in time … Thanks Gary ❤️🔥💯
This was a great video because it highlights the separation between people who make content just for money and people who make content because it gives them more pleasure than anything else.
The thing that everyone wants can only be achieved when it's earned"-This alone is everything. Being an enthusiast is a great reframe...
Gary getting after it. Fucking legend
Thanks Gary. I am by no means an expert in the classic car field. I know what I know but when I listen to the likes of Jason Cammisa and Matt Farah, I know I can firmly call myself simply an enthusiast. And that’s what I’ve got to make my viewers understand in order that I can bring them along on my journey. I don’t need to know the brake horsepower or braking distance of all the cars I come across, I just need to inject more of my enthusiasm for all the different cars I come across an appreciation of the experts in the field that I’m talking to. You’ve been a great source of encouragement since I found you so thank you know one day I’ll be forwarding you an email thanking you even more for your wisdom and words.
Gary, your videos are so insightful, optimistic and well-meant! Thanks a lot!
Enthusiast over Expert is such a complete life changing reframe. Thank you GV ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🙏
“It’d be a really bad idea to not follow your dreams bc of Tyrone from 4th grade”
Love the way Gary framed that
this.... this, is just...so on point. You might as well be speaking straight to me. Exactly the message I needed to hear. Thanks G.
Incredible how this touched on multiple things i was thinking about just an hour ago!! AND delivered EXACTLY the mindset shifts I needed to cross 2 more self-limiting factors off the list!! 😍 ty Gary!
This advice is utterly the biggest piece of gold so many creators need to grasp. Great stuff!
Always a great convo!!!!!!! So much practical relatable guidance. Can’t thank u enough
It was super helpful Gary sometimes I get frustrated too cause I wanna results fast but I always forget patient panda. I'm gonna be patient now and pour love into my art ❤️❤️❤️
Needed this, especially while I'm working on creating my own personal brand and coaching business, thanks Gary, A LOT!
"Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It's quite simple, really: Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that's where you will find success."
-- Thomas J. Watson....
THIS! I needed this fr! I would love to see you make more content on this subject “Enthusiast vs Expert”
GREAT VIDEO! Glad you caught this moment on camera.
This is a huge mindset shift. Love it! I’m a business enthusiast!
Approaching things as an enthusiast is gold Gary! 🔥🔥💯
"If you feel like you are not ready for that, that is what you most should be doing" !
Awesome Gary!! I'm making content about DIY projects and the hurry to be the "expert" really generate anxiety and do not help with anything. Let them Judge S2
WOW! That statement is so profound, it will still be useful two generations from now! From my childhood until almost my 30's I was plagued with imposter syndrome. I found a way to overcome it. But it's always lurking in the background. Social media has a way of letting those skeletons out the closet. But your advice is the perfect rationale and formula conquering social media anxiety! Thanks again Gary!
This is powerful. Needed to hear this.
Thank you so much GaryVee
This really hit home! Thank you. More Gary.
Wow so I literally was telling my bf how you never mentioned any advice for moms that want to be content creators and that I love your general advice but I feel sooo short on time as a stay at home mom and I am so passionate and work oriented that I get in a negative mode when I have yo stop working to clean up the house and cook and clean and care for my two year old. At the same time suffering from ptsd… I feel so frustrated but thank you for reminding me to stay grounded
You've got two things I already see, Gary, your likeable and you have more thought put into the subject than I do. To lead, you only need to be a little ahead. Take your audience along as you learn and discover
Gary, you just articulated what I've been thinking to myself (although I struggled to word it so perfectly) for years now. I'm documenting my journey in what I call 'The Alpha Mentality,' striving to become a high value man, and have been documenting my journey to help other people understand it. And you so eloquently vocalized exactly that process. Thank you so much! This has been the single most impactful video of yours that I've ever watched, and one of the greatest videos on UA-cam of all time. Thank you so much for all that you do!
good point about expert to enthusiast and really figuring out what you want to do and pursuing what you do with that open framework because that's where people will sense the authenticity and follow you for the long haul
Dude needed this today. Thank you
The thing with the enthusiast is huge. Thx 🙏
Now.. that helped to connect the dots. THANKS A LOT, Gary... both of you.. found myself applauding to this hearing it in the kitchen with no one around
Absolutely Nail on the head GV! the enthusiast word swap is the unlock. Gives freedom to be wrong and to fail forward.
Wow I really needed to hear this because I have suffered greatly from anxiety that stopped me from actually helping people with marketing even though I am a marketing person. I am now an enthusiast until they decide that I am an expert.
Thank you Gary, this really clicked and my life adjusted in a positive way. Love you, Gary (on the left) ❤
Truly enlightening!
One of the best practical insights here!!! Just say “I want to be an (industry) enthusiast instead of expert.” That changes so much. Most importantly our approach to it all… Awesome Gary!!! 💪🏽
Love this!! Wow the power of one word!! Ur a genius Gary!!! Amazing !!!!
Definitely like this topic! Most people ask the basic stuff but this was well suited for me thank u!
Oh my gosh, thank you for that WORD! Enthusiast!! Yes. I needed this.
I was never a die hard GaryVee fan until this video. This is the exact reframe I needed. The pressure instantly dissipates. Thank you for sharing.
this is spot on. Russle Brunson Talks about 5 ways to go about marketing your brand. 1 of them is then Adventurer ( I tried this for this many days ) and that's how an enthusiast would go. It makes the crowds judgement alot less harsh and respects you for just trying stuff and document what you learn and find. This is Gold for people who are looking to make connecting content.
Before I even start watching, I had just diagnosed myself with symptoms of IS. Thank you Gary.
Love you Gary 💚
So good! I just changed the word specialist to enthusiest on my LinkedIn profile, such a good points!!!
Garry, I've started following you just recently, and all that you are teaching resonates with me greatly. The stuff from this video, to be the enthusiast and not caring about the judgment of people and start creating what is boiling inside of me-that is what I did about 4 years ago and these days I am considered to be a half an expert on that field (super cool). It is still a hobby for me, but the process is wonderful. Plus, I got a lot of video creating experience so, in a week or two I am starting to document another of my passions, which is a lot bigger than the first one. It would be crazy and unreachable idea to me 5 years ago.
Although I already know the core principles you are speaking about, I haven't defined them all, and I am not fully aware of them, so it is a LOT more stronger when you bring it up and define it perfectly. I am ready to use them and deliver on those. It's like you put a stamp on my new plan and say "you got this, go ahead and crush it!".
Thank you for reading this all the way (I know you are). I appreciate you, man! God bless you and your family!

Gary this is probably your most helpful video I have ever watched cheers bruh!
This is one of my favorite conversations.
Thank you Gary for sharing your POV with us all.
Having a positive set of parents does make a difference. Although it doesn’t have to be that way. ⚡️🍀🇨🇦
This was great. Especially the part about who we are trying to impress. How many decisions do we make to impress people we haven’t talked to in decades and that we shouldn’t even give a shit what their opinion is to begin with?!
Being in the information security field I have spoken at many conferences, and many young professionals have asked me how do they become an expert in order for they can talk at a conference like me. I simply tell them they become an expert when they speak at a conference because basically you are telling your story of what you have done, and by communicating and sharing this you are an expert. The secret to speak at most smaller conferences is to submit to the call for papers/presentations. I think the term enthusiast is way better than expert and I will start using this going forward. Thank you brother.
Thank you for this information, I really appreciate it.👏😍
Sometimes you have experience and people still look down at you or talk over you, if you're not a loud/outspoken person. They judge and seem to take it that you know nothing. I am fine with it because I know I have the experience I need. People don't come to me to seek knowledge but that's okay.
What Gary says from 12:39 - 13:09 is outstanding. I'm inspired.
Gary look like a great guy! very good question! I totally feel you!
Favourite piece of content Gary's dropped in a while. 🙌
This man is a legend, protect him at all cost!!💯
Damn Gary! Mind blown thank you
Love that you hit this one killed it
Great stuff! Hearing him project the desire to be "the expert" the first response that kept coming up to me was why? Wonder if most people ever truly explore why they think they need to be an expert before being able to share their thoughts and experiences on a topic. It's unnecessary. What has taught me that the most is the fact that I've learned so much from children about life. People that are no where near being an expert on life generally give the biggest lessons because they're just moving in the truth of their existence with minimal social engineering.
How then can you extract money? When I tell people I’m an enthusiast, how am I going to sell my products (course, book etc.) ?
Stability is bull crap. All companies bet on that card to keep employees slaving. All companies want employees to be faithful to them, but I yet to see a company that is faithful to the employee. People: learn all you can while you’re working at a company and use your salary to finance your dream. Be the best employee you can be, don’t forget to be grateful for the opportunity. But don’t get comfortable!
thank you, this helped me understand a lot.
mate, this hits hard. love it
You are a F'ing Legend man.
"I've still not heard a good reason to choose negativity" 3:10 👌🔥
nope... I'm super curious... enthusiastic. and am ready to travel and NOT in my 20's but will live like I am! Thanks Gary!
This one hits it out of the park too ❤❤❤❤ I'm catching up on your content currently.
“People overvalue stability and undervalue curiosity” so true
Pure gold!
People choose to be negative cause it’s easier to get angry and blame things or people about something. Being more on teh positive side is a choice and must be practice specially if you didn’t grow up in a very positive environment…
I have never wanted something bad that I did not trust in💯 i may have randomly wasted $ but that will never fuel a brand... I want people to genuinely trust whatever it is I'm doing
How fast I can become an expert and start making money. That cut deep. That literally sums up my growth strategy strategy. I had the mentality of I wasn’t an expert in languages, nobody will listen to me.
Great framework… be an enthusiast V’s an expert. This will help my own imposter syndrome at 49 yrs old!
Powerful thanks Garyx2
"Adversity is the foundation of success."
True!
Gary, perfect needs to be earned! Yes sir!
Patient Panda Patient Pig 😎😎
Daily Positivity Energy! Thanks Gary!
This one hit me. Enthusiast is a great word than to be an expert..
Love u Gary x
I think there's a faint line between negativity and honest feedback, especially from the outside looking in. When dealing with others I've come to realize that people associate things like negativity with their emotions. If what you said didn't agree with them or your advice just isn't what they wanted then they result to shaming. A lot of the time people want you to take their advice or be on their side with your feedback and if you aren't then you're negative. Which isn't true at all! I honestly believe the majority of all people want to control any or everything and if they don't get their way then it's a problem
Wow, Gary this improved my imposter syndrome being 19 hiring 2 ppl for my marketing agency one of whom has a master's degree in computer sciences just being the leader and guiding also I recently followed your strategy on linkdeln I started approaching prospective clients and told them I will be offering free services for a month to fix their broken digital branding strategy and document the whole process kind of like kitchen nightmares from Gordon Ramsay this is was yesterday I got a text back from startup owner who is building a content app targeting black creatives in us and now I am starting feeling like damn. It's moving too fast and doesn't feel real I feel kinda out of place I never expected to get so big this was my first day where I actually felt how it is to be an entrepreneur and it's very weird I like I love it don't get me wrong and I am so lucky to make it this far but sometime I feel like I am not the expert and not the epitome of a boss its weird
That one hit home.....even for this 50yr old guy!
Gary sees through bull shit man lol he’s really good at picking things up. Blew my mind
Gary I think those 12:11 and 12:40 are pure concentrated wisdom! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Per usual, GaryV says a few words, and completely changes my perspective. Also, let's see what ya got, Gary! (on the left!)
