Having ambition is great, but similar to tenacity and conviction, it can potentially become a double-edged sword if it is not balanced out with other ingredients. While having the drive to go after something you really want is incredible, if it goes unchecked, it can lead to things like anxiety, burnout, and unhappiness.

I have ridiculous ambitions for my life from VaynerX to VeeFriends and buying the New York Jets…but every ounce of ambition I have is balanced out with equal amounts of patience and humility. This not only protects me from the harmful side-effects of ambition, but it also makes the process of going after my goals way more fun. My goal for this blog and my new book is to help change the way people think about ambition as a whole. I hope it brings you value.
