Gary Vaynerchuk - This girl is my LIFE!
Per usual, Gary rocks, and spreads the message everyone needs to hear!
I feel good because I live with dirty hands, I hussle and I am not a douchebag suck face half skilled scumbag. 10 years of bangin on and on and on.
and on
and on
Started a o part time gig 2 years ago - worked 7pm to 11pm every night at home learning, hustling, learning, hustling.
Went out on my own 4 months ago right in the middle of a market shit fight. Didnt even resign. QUIT MY JOB,
To all the dudes I worked with at the big corporates who walked around with their folders looking important.......FUCK YOU
Now I am forging ahead and it is paying off. Everything I touch turns to gold whilst others seem to be panicking and their businesses are turning to shit. Love Niche - Hate corporate.
Thanks Gary (or as we would call you here in Oz......GAZ or CHUCKA)
My two favorite takes - Tipping Point comment and your CARE Marketing strategy.
You have the passion, it shows, and it works.
Thanks!
p.s. So glad you are on disqus now. Leaving comments via wordpress or other commenting systems is a total drag. Disqus is the way to go.
You hit it bang on with people cannot be complacent and just cruise along.
When you are doing what you are passionate about, it shows and excites others, and it will seem effortless. Not giving up and not making excuses (ie. the economy) is key. There are so many available resources out there and networking opportunities, you just need to figure out what you want and just do it.
People strive so hard to keep up with the Jones' and keep up their "image", and wonder why they are working so hard and getting nothing out of it. Do what you want and wealth and satisfaction will follow.
Cheers
Keep on rockin'.

Great stuff Gary. Glad I was there to witness it.
I know you are all about content, but the A/V quality here....
your keynotes *deserve* better "filming".
Time to take Mott on the road?
Intentional or not. I sure as hell appreciated it.
Also, well done on the swearing, there are probably lots of people who think it wasn't necessary, and i disagree with those people. There is a time and a place for swearing, and it is apparently when Gary gives talks.
Right
Time to go work my face off.
Thanks for the motivation.
Thanks for doing what you do. And this post totally made me think of you. http://zenhabits.net/2009/02/why-you-should-thi...
Awesome video and great advices. You always have something that really makes me want to go ans work harder on my brand and build more quality content and be more active on social networks and register more podcasts and tape more videos - basically do all those things I postpone.
Thank you for giving me inspiration in these difficult economical times.

I thought about it and, if I stay home for one evening instead of going out with folks and buying dinner nearly every night, I can save enough time to complete practically one project a week.
Stay home and work, people!
Thanks for blasting those pre-Madonnas. I'm doing my 7pm -3am!!
Choice vintage and oh so true! The world is changing in all aspects and in business across every niche. The web in general and social media is a game changer and former gurus = "gurus of what was" are either losing their authority or stumbling into the game - cool. But anyone that wants to win here has to really break it down "social" + "media" Try using the technology without investing in relationships and it would be better if you never showed up.
Opportunity is everywhere!
The playing field is level - let's rock it!

I love how you bring the professional ideas and thoughts, and mix that in with casual talk, with the cursing. Some people may not like that, but I think this helps identify with you as just a regular guy, with awesome ideas.
I agree that people never lose pursuing their passion. If their goals do not work, people are still doing what they love, nonetheless. Furthermore, I like using hustling as a term not referenced as running the streets. Hustling is just showing that extra commitment to what one does. You are not afraid to go against the grain and that makes you who you are. Keep up the amazing work.
I think your totally blowing it when you shit on Cartier buying a print ad or a TV spot. Are website ads, maintaining twitterfeeds, dropping Seismic comments unique and valuable? Absolutely. And they are underutilized. Definitely.
But TV, print, and all other media have a role to play. Whether its reaching more people in a specific period of time or associating a brand with a pop culture moment, or many other things
For example maybe Cartier sells 80% of its watches on 4 specific weekends. It could tolerate the inefficiency in targeting a print ad in SI for efficiently timing a message to half the men in this country with a glossy picture at the perfect time of year.
Maybe I'm Coke, and being part of the fabric of America is best articulated with entertaining everyone's family and friends while they are together during the Super Bowl.
Digital advocates say that if your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. I say even though you have all the tools, sometimes you use the new ones and sometimes you just need a fucking hammer.
Nice speech.
I'm going to try to get something going here soon...
Awesome. Great keynote, Gary!
