βYou have to understand your own personal DNA. Donβt do things because I do them or Steve Jobs or Mark Cuban tried it.β You need to know your personal brand and stay true to it.β - Gary Vee

One of my fave follows is Gary Vee for focus, hustle and perspective. Heβs so on point with this βpersonal DNA.β I believe in this so much. I remember watching his vlogcast and he said that he doesnβt get down on himself for not knowing how to do something or not being the best at it because he understands his strengths and weaknesses. There are things he will never be able to do no matter how hard he tries, but what is is great at he doubles down on that. I knew early on I would never be a doctor, nurse, lawyer, or work a 9-5 because that is not in my personal DNA. I just knew I always wanted to LOVE what I do and that is roc a mic and and be able to make in impact in my community so radio was a no-brainer for me. But maybe you donβt know what your personal DNA is yet and thatβs okay too! You DO have time to figure it out at ANY AGE! Stop telling yourself itβs βtoo late.β Itβs a LIE! And that comes back to βpersonal DNA.β Donβt focus on what you CANβT do. Double down on your STRENGTHS and what youβre passionate about and that is a message I will hit play and repeat on EVERY DAY! (Oh and btw, I donβt have it all figured out. Iβm not perfect, but I know Iβm happy doing what I love and thatβs how I know Iβm doing something right.)
