With the new year here and everyone scrambling to get life back in order I decided to share something that I thought would spark you up a bit. If you’ve ever wanted to be your own boss and/or had some great ideas for business I’ve got a treat for you! See that goofy guy in the middle of the photo there? Looks like a slacker right? Not quite, his names is Gary Vaynerchuck aka the Wine Guy. He’s part of the new rich… the new era of businessmen…. He got his start working in his parents’ small liquor store 16 hours a day and today with the power of social media that little corner liquor store is small no more. In fact this little family business is now a $60 million a year wine powerhouse!
I have been researching and consulting about the new wave of marketing for the past year or so. This is one “gentlemen” who GETS it and is rather candid on his approach in respect to what it takes…
Now more than ever I am constantly bombarded with people’s desires to work for themselves and live out their dreams, unfortunately much of that fire dies quickly for most…
If this sound familiar this is a must see and a small glimpse of what’s to come here on this blog…
Gary Vaynerchuck – Building Personal Brand Within the Social Media Landscape
Isn’t this dude nuts!!! LOL… But so on point… Did I mention he’s also a best selling author? His new book, “Crush It!”, has been getting rave reviews and I have it on deck so I’ll let you know how it is. I recommend a proactive approach and run over to amazon.com and get it yourself… If it’s anything like his personality it should be great!
What do you think!? What are the biggest things you took away from this video? Did it inspire you to get off your a$$!? Let me know… comment below!

Comment and please share this post if it is of value to you or anyone for that matter…
This is right on point and right on time for me. I’m great at ideas and have been trying to find an “efficient” aka easy way to execute. I’m about to focus in 2010 on diving in and put in that work. That 7pm to 2am second shift is the way I’ll have to go. Great post.
Glad to hear SJ! The way technology is going it’s so easy aka “efficient” to execute task and implement ideas… it’s amazing how much more productive & effective we can become when we learn how to use ‘em…
Good look personally I get excited and depressed when someone like this, tom (myspace), Facebook owners, and biz (twitter) become multi-millionaires off of something so simple, lol. Makes you rethink your priorities.
Well Brian… that’s the whole point… in order to get the best out of life I think we need to continuously re-think our priorities… or else we found ourselves comfortably uncomfortable…
This guy is anything a person wants to perceive him as, but the one thing all can’t deny is he is passionate and on fire. I think he said the most in the final 15 secs of the video..”If you want….WORK!”… My teeth are grinding together as I’m typing this. Thanks for the video!

You’re absolutely right Realm… that is PASSION… (reminds me of someone else I know…) You know what they say, “Set yourself on fire and people will come from miles around to watch you burn!”…
