If you hate your job and want to start your own business is it truly in your DNA? Do you think you can fully jump into something you create from scratch and go through the tough times to get to the good?
Check out Gary Vaynerchuk’s story here from the Inc. 5000 Conference a few months ago. I call this the DNA of a Hustler.
Gary Vaynerchuk talks to Eric Ries about his new book, “The Lean Startup,” and why his pared-down philosophy is the way to go for entrepreneurs trying to navigate the tech landscape.
Gary Vaynerchuck talks about how more and more people are becoming entrepreneurs and their is a huge disruption in each market. Education’s value isn’t as good as it use to be. Investors in Facebook like Peter Thiel are pointing out how Education is in more of a bubble then the internet.
Gary Vaynerchuk is one of the top guys in the web and wine industry. He was 1% unhappy with what he was doing and turned his father’s liquor store in New Jersey from 4 million in revenues to 60 million revenues.
Gary Vaynerchuck talks about being transparent and authentic with business. But the second part of the video is where it gets even more interesting.
Right now is the best time to start a business. It’s easier and cheaper to build a business then it has ever been before. There are also angel investors and VCs handing out money left and right to smart entrepreneurs with a passion.
Here let Gary tell you why you just stop hating your job and start a business.
Here is Gary’s #2 best video about this awesome internet era we are in and the massive opportunity we have today. We should be thankful for this opportunity.
Here are some points from the video that hit me. Not in particular order, just what stuck out the most when thinking about the video again.
CARE
Stop being a 19 year old hormone raging dude trying to close the deal as fast as possible
Say thank you
Listen
Be REAL
Amazon got a bargain buying Zappos for 1.3 Billion they were beating them on culture not price.
Be you – Gary understands his “DNA” – he loves people and gratitude is his motivating factor and buying the Jets of course.
What’s the ROI on Social Media “I don’t know fuck face what’s the value of a relationship to you?”
The push back will come back to the mom and pop (which I love because I’m a big believer in local internet marketing)
Our grandparents built businesses because they cared, going back to “small town rules” < I link this later if it becomes his next book title.
Word of Mouth on Steriods
Legacy is huge – Love it when Gary talked to the camera for his grandchildren in the future to see it.
If you say “Anytime a customer complains its a huge opportunity to improve or say sorry and show you care” then he will kiss you.
Relationship Platform
One to one relationships kill
Corporate game is to built to maintain share price then cash out tough for them to get it or really care.
Taste it
Need to tap into our elders and none of them care about all the money they made they wish they would of did what they loved (hello jobsucker), and spend more time with their family.
Come from an honest place build relationships one at a time.
C&C Music Factory were on to something when they said “things that make you go hmmm” (Open data opportunity)
Human beings are so poorly branded. Hippos kill more people then Sharks but Sharks get the bad wrap. #teamhumans
Golf industry is down because Dads are spending more time with kids.
(Crush It!!) Extending the Reach of Your Personal Brand Entrepreneur, famed author, and social media guru Gary Vaynerchuk, in a discussion with Fox News’ Ellis Henican, gives his innovative and unique principles for “crushing it” in business and in life.
Unfortunately, the creator of the Video doesn’t allow it to be embedded which is retarded. So here is a link to it…
I was watching this video from AskMen.com interviewing Gary Vay-Ner-Chuck founder of Wine Library TV, author of Crush IT, and investor in other cool companies that are or will be BIG and noticed a couple things..

best description of his “internet is still young theme “only 14 years since you heard the kaksjdejwkxj “dial up noise from aol”
the 39th best L.A. Clippers blogger has the ability to make 50k a year once the trickle down hits
It’s all about taking a pee pee or P.P. – Having patience and a passion..
