Gary Vaynerchuk: Kill it

Posted by Bill Gaffney | September 28th, 2008

Passion is truly contagious.  Gary Vaynerchuk is one helluva passionate guy who both motivated and challenged everyone who attended the 2008 Web 2.0 Expo with his keynote speech.  His simple reinforcements of the obvious mixed liberally with rough language net an often lost compass for online marketing, entrepreneurship and — more fundamentally — how to live a happy life.

“Ask yourself: What do I want to do everyday for the rest of my life?  Do that!  I promise, you can monetize that shit.”

Gary Vaynerchuk, Web 2.0 Expo, 2008

Talk about getting a burst of motivation!  With real life sound bites like “there’s no reason in 2008 to do shit you hate,” he speaks of living an authentic life.  No matter what you love: speak, work, breathe with passion.  Your customers, readers and peers will recognize and thank you for it.

“Everybody has time, stop watching fucking Lost!”  His ideas are so simple that their profound.

Aside:

As always here is the wordle of today’s post on Gary Vaynerchuk.
