Admiting I Suck

I hate Gary Vaynerchuck or whatever his name is.  (The Rev3 wine guy.)  I hate him cause he’s 100% right and has beat the snot out of 99% of the bloggers out there.  I had never heard of him last year, and in a few short months his name is EVERYWHERE.  Damn his luck!  */me Jealous rage is over.*

In all actuality, he’s successful for very obvious reasons.  His tenacity, and passion directly contributed to his success.  On just his tenacity alone, I applaud the hell out of him. 

I forgot where I read this but I had it pasted to a notepad doc to review later.  It’s one of those 10 tips type things, that we’ve all ready a Million different times.  Gary’s list is a bit edgier, and I appreciate that.  Thus, a post for you. 

  • “answer every single email and every single comment on your blog’ for the rest of your FREAKING life.”
  • “content is king but marketing is queen and the queen runs the household”
  • “you have to go to every meetup you can possible go to”
  • “pump out content - if you don’t produce something every day you’ll be out hustled”
  • “‘Hustle - you have to work your face off.”
  • “you need eyeballs - the easiest way to do this is to become part of the community”
  • “induce conversation at every turn for the rest of your life”
  • “your job is to create a connection”
  • “be you and be every flaw”
  • “it’s about putting up good content, creating conversation and spend 10% of your time working out how to make money”
  • “if you’re not good at monetizing, get a bus partner that can.” do what u do & bring in others who can do the other stuff.”
  • “if you’re a shy guy - become the greatest shy guy on earth”
  • “don’t drink hatorade”

Oooopsies, I should have re-read the last one before I posted my jealous rant above.  :)  Anyways, good job Gary and a wish for more continued success!!
