He Fires Me Up!
I’ve previously posted on how motivating I find Gary Vaynerchuk to be. Just today, his Web 2.0 Expo NY presentation from September 2008 where he discusses building a personal brand within the social media landscape crossed my path and I took the time to watch it again. With over 100,000 views, I’d say a few other people find it relevant as well. He so well articulates a perspective I 100% agree with in regards to business today and what I need to focus on to succeed. I want to be able to always find it in the future so I decided to post it here on my blog – figured it would be an effective bookmark :)
His simple points that resonate with me:
- Have passion – Do what you love. Stop doing what you hate.
- Have patience
- Care about everything. Including yourself.
- Care about your user base
- Have a business model
- Reputation matters
- Content matters
- Understand that the game is changing
- It is about brand equity. Create brand equity around yourself.
- People consume content everywhere
- Be completely transparent. Everything you do is exposed.
- Work hard. 9-5 is out the door.
His 15 minute presentation can be viewed here. You’ll be fired up too.

Wow, thanks for the video. I’m off to my first RE BarCamp this week in Virginia Beach, am excited (and hoping it will turn out as great as the others that I have read about) and hope to contribute.
