Robert Greenberg, CEO and founder of Skechers on one of my most favorite shows, The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch.
I asked myself, since all I do on YouTube is waste time, why don’t I look up some really good TV shows that I missed… you know, the ones that will actually help me with the goals I want to achieve in life. (Becoming a Korean Pop star is not one of those goals. I’ll just write off all those Korean Music Videos and Variety Shows off as a means to my goal to become a Korean media mogul…)
The first time I saw Mr. Deutsch’s show was when he was talking with Howard Schultz, founder and CEO of Starbuck’s. Then I saw him on with Bill Gates, Paul Mitchell…. I was hooked.
One of those really motivating videos.
Summary: It’s not what their selling… it’s about the persistence. Don’t ever stop trying. Can’t see the turns at the starting line. Just start running. You’ll get somewhere. Preparation meets opportunity.
For me, I know for a fact what I’ll be doing is going to have to do with the web. I’m not sure why I’m going to start this race with that kind of mindset, but it makes the most sense for me.
However, I need to continue to understand that the web is only the platform. I can choose to sell whatever I want, whether it be a physical product or a service; be it B2B or a consumer-based market; be it advertising-supported or tiered fee-based monetization strategy. This is why this stage of beginning to understand the nature of the web will help me as I start this race.
And with that, I’m all motivated out. Back to reality.
Side note: Why is YouTube out of sync while Google Video isn’t? It’s those l33t hack monkeys at Google… I get so frustrated when I see audio out of sync with the video… someone should program something to fix that timing… but who…?
