How Did Gary Vaynerchuk Become So Famous? Why is His ‘Wine Libary TV’ a Global Phenomenon?

This has to be the sharpest, most illuminating video about how to find the right business path I’ve seen this year:

Dean Hunt interviews Gary Vaynerchuk,  star of his internet Wine Show ‘Wine Library TV’.  (Warning: Contains rather strong language!)  Gary has also just released his new marketing / motivation book called ‘CRUSH IT!  How to cash in on your passion.’  Just ordered my copy…

Crush It!: Why NOW Is the Time to Cash In on Your Passion

Gary’s video sure is a ‘wake up’ shock for Internet Marketers.

At least that’s the effect it had on me anyway. Jonathan (& Gary?) I’d like to state here it’s just given me confidence to do ‘that thing’ I know I should be doing. I’ve been kidding myself for about 3 years.
Thanks to Gary, Dean and Ciaren. (And to you Jonathan for lighting the way :)

Hi Jonathan

Have you met Gary? I saw him briefly at an Internet Marketing seminar last year. He’s the kindest most helpful, caring man on Earth.

This video brings it all back again. Wish the world had more Gary Vaynerchuks.
The only issue I see is that it’s very hard for most people to decide what it is they love that they could ‘do’ as a business pathway.

Maybe you and Gary could put together a way for people to discover this. My father says he’s never known what it is he wanted to do. So sad. He is talented yet works in an office.

I’ve sent him this link. I sent him a hug and told him it’s never too late. :)

WOW

What a great video and what a great guy…

There will be a lot of people taking a good hard look at themselves and their business models/practice after watching that.

He couldn’t have been any clearer with his message …

After watching the video I went straight off an bought the electronic version… IT IS FANTASTIC

I’m now making a few “tweaks” to my own areas of interest and making sure I add real value to everyone I interact with online.

Thanks once again for sharing this Jonathan

Yes Sir Mr Henderson, RIGHT you are re business models online.
Let me know if you need to brainstorm any tweaks you’re making. (Personally I think you’re a born marketer / trader, so you can’t be far off the mark already.)

Hi Jonathan,

I’m so glad that you emailed me about this video (the email title was a winner too!)

At first I wasn’t going to bother waiting for the video to load (took ages) but I glad I persevered with it because it was brilliant.

I’ve heard of Gary Vaynerchuck before and was aware he’d released a book, but I’d never heard him speak or paid much attention before. Now it’s clear to see why he has been super successful. This guy is so sincere and just spot on with his observations. I also really registered with what he was saying about integrity and the DNA and legacy things,… such POWERFUL stuff.

Thanks again Jonathan,.. I am now officially a Vaynerchuck fan.

Cheers, … Russ

Russ – Agree – Thinking about personal legacy of what one does to make a living sure brings home the self-truth about business online.

I do love this interview. This is tammy, the girl they mention briefly at the end ;)
I think he has it right, there is a load of bullshit out there and people like him are really inspiring. I hope my own web tv show has even half the success his has :) *Collectibles Corner TV if you wanna see it!

Ahhhh! The famous Tammy appears like magic!
I’ll go back and listen again. (I can listen to that interview repeatedly.)
I’ll also go check out your TV show right away.

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for posting this video…Gary’s message is really where everything is heading, and it’s a good thing! It will set you free!

This is the same message of my online radio shows. Marketing IS Love – loving what you do, sharing what you love, and connecting and caring about people. We are all interconnected and it’s time we live our lives from that realization.

Also, good to connect with you! I just moved to the South Island (NZ) from Hawaii.

Aloha,
Eleanore

Thanks for putting that up!

Very useful points from Gary, thanks Jonathan.

I’ve had his book on my ‘to read’ list for a while -
now I’ll get on with it!

Awesome content guys!

I won a signed copy of Gary’s book at a recent internet seminar and can’t wait to read it after watching this. What’s really good to see is how much Gary genuinely cares about what he’s doing and how he can help others. He doesn’t have to do that. The fact he does makes him a top guy.

Is he on Twitter? I’m going to find out…

Van Guy, Des and Matthew…
It doesn’t get much better than this does it. Gary Vaynerchuk has the skill to polarize. Like it or not – he accentuates the postive and eliminates the negative. No messing with ‘Mr Inbetween’

Very cool video! Really enjoyed that.
Gary certainly has some views and ideas that are very valuable for Internet marketers in general. Very different perspective from most of the IM’ers and “Gurus” one comes across.
However, he’s definitely mis-using the term “Internet marketer”.

Also: I would totally want to learn more about the world’s most boring car salesman.

Cheers,
Shane
