Video – The fear of losing trumps the excitement of victory for so many people via Gary Vaynerchuk

Great video from Gary Vaynerchuk Called “A rant from the heart, hip and head”

A few of my favorite quotes from the video are:

• The fear of losing trumps the excitement of victory for so many people
• Roll up on that business idea and make it happen.
• The worst feeling is being 50, 60, 80, 90 and having regrets that you didn’t swing the bat is the worst of them all!
• Our at bat is infort of us, take a swing

About TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
At our TEDxBayArea events, TEDTalks videos and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connections in a small group setting.
