I measure my success by how happy I am, not how big the business is or how much money I've made.
Gary VaynerchukPeople who build family businesses are not classically trained. They have to deal with an enormous amount of politics. You think corporate politics are tough? Go work for your dad or your mom.
Gary VaynerchukI'm concerned a little bit with the culture of celebrating the fundraise. My dad taught me that when you borrow money it's the worst day of your life.
Gary VaynerchukLive your passion. What does that mean, anyway? It means that when you get up for work every morning, every single morning, you are pumped because you get to talk about or work with or do the thing that interests you the most in the world. You donโt live for vacations because you donโt need a break from what youโre doingโworking, playing, and relaxing are one and the same. You donโt even pay attention to how many hours youโre working because to you, itโs not really work. Youโre making money, but youโd do whatever it is youโre doing for free.
Gary VaynerchukI would argue heavily that the time that has been allocated to social used to come from television, and people are benefitting from it. People who are saying, 'Aw, you're spending all your time on Facebook, or all your time on Twitter,' I'd like to understand what the person used to do with that time.
