Jenna’s Question or Topic

Jenna is from New York. She owns a clothing business that markets to underpaid people. Lately, she has been thinking if she picked the right niche as sales haven’t been good and she’s also slowly losing passion for having a fashion brand and being creative. She’s also multi-passionate but finds it hard to pick the one that she wants to do. 

Gary’s Story and Advices

Gary thinks the reason why Jenna is losing her passion for her clothing business is because she’s not getting results. Gary suggested that Jenna give 85% of her time to her clothing business and spend 15% doing all the other things that she wants to do like drawing or doing a podcast. Speaking from his experience, Gary found out that him spending 15% on other activities such as Empathy WinesVaynerSports, and baseball cards, allowed him to give 110% on the 85% in running VaynerMedia.

With regards to her brand, Gary suggested that she should email the 200 people who ordered from her for the last 2 years and asked them if they’d like to talk about the whole concept with her or what they liked about the clothes or the brand. Gary also wants her to go into Twitter, search the term underpaid, and jump into a conversation with every single person, read what they wrote, and comment on their posts.
