2. Keeping track personally

"I weigh myself every day," he says. This isn't a healthy habit for everyone, Vaynerchuk understands — but for him, it's a helpful reminder to take care of his body, which he hasn't always done. "I never want to go back into a place I was in my mid-30s, where I just didn't value my health. This is about accountability for me.
