thank you Gary how are you great pleasure to meet you nice to meet you man have an operation here very impressive thank you brother turtle several more floors that are even more interesting that's awesome I'm not going to do we got here because of my dad yes the only guy that can penetrate my schedule so I sold my business in August yep for money a decent a good amount congratulations and thank you and you're a young guy I'm a young guy so on how old are you 43 young so I built this business from I'm a second-generation like you were but I came in similar to you small and blue in about three million in sales yep when we sold it we did it just under 30 million before you man so for 20 like literally 20 years 20 to 40 to 89 came in 1994 so and I get a little bit of them jumping around a little bit but in 2007-2008 the economy's tanking and unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you look at it I ended up getting to doing this sorry timing I was actually good because the men's mess was how you'd last was a pretty miserable time I'm sorry kids in my life you know that I still had and it was just brutal time where did you lift a little Randolph now and I was actually in Randolph had to cut it so I went through this kind of awakening yep and I started to study I hadn't read a book in 20 years yeah I probably read 30 books all self-improvement yes and he wants as though he wanted to get into a happier place I want to figure out how do I train myself and I just grabbed onto it okay and it was amazing to the point where it changed everything change my change of business to change your life the people you hung out with I don't I get it I know when from being broke yep I mean to live in a beautiful home with a new wife get my kids drive a Ferrari ultimate supreme in and I really got into this personal development and I have actually done some speaking not professionally it's a whole different I've gone but I've done I spoke to the entire so I mean it's a punch line of this knowing we have limited time yeah you want to explore building up your brand and talk about how you did it yes okay yeah and I also have you know I'm also doing a bunch of other things right now I'm actually going to be investing in a Lexus dealership which is something I don't know how much investing you do and outside is I do a ton but I focus my time and attention to early stage you know I was an investor and Tumblr and Twitter I'm going for Grand Slam scotches like by the way I love the practical like one of my buddies has me all hot on buying like pizza places that in New York that are buck a slight like in two years you're making money I'm I feel like the practical thing I do is building businesses you know what I mean if I sold my business and was like if I was done meaning like done operating I would invest in dealerships and realist like more practical stuff which makes sense I because I'm operating this is practical and I'm going for by the [ __ ] jet so that's another reason why I'm here again I did well but instead of millions I'm focused now on hundreds of millions for Billy you're always felt that I've had a destiny to do something greater but not necessary to be famous I get it but to do something more substantial and then so give so given that I have to do a public speech yeah and I've got certain things I've got to do and we have very limited time and I don't know I'm loving the vibe here I love anybody who says I things about my dad is going to win this makes a ton of sense I understand why you wanted to get 10 minutes with me what's the main question what should you do next I think the main I think really I came to try to just get some energy from you got it I don't here's the real energy ready I think you need to put out cut if you want to do hundreds of millions and you want to build you and you're willing to be out there which is all the clear indications you are you have to put out content whether through written video or audio or all or one buck man if you can do all you do it uh you've got to do it and I didn't you knows how I did it now I have a documentary every day going on like you've got to put out content every day so my question to that is as I studied and yep I'm sure you've seen a lot of the content it's the same content but done in a different way or a different spin yep you know all the personal development stuff that would you read Tony raffia Jim Rhon yep the same stuff but done differently of course so is that yeah it is take look I'll give you a better piece of advice than that I would do you yeah like Ivan said the other day in

dailyvee I don't want to be a motivational speaker I'm motivating that I'm high-energy but I don't I'd never read a line or listen to a word of Jim Rohn okay for Napoleon Hill right and I'm friendly with Tony Robbins because I like him I've been event I've never listened to a CD or what read a book I don't know anything about any of these people just better I mean triple zero I don't know I get us donors like know who they are is because I get associated with them right but I continue at all costs to not consume any of it because then it's not me correct what I am is motivational but I'm building the 600 [ __ ] people working here I'm like [ __ ] up Madison Avenue because I'm revolutionising the advertising world in agency form the way I did for liquor stores I think we need those guys to build wine library I did me now it sounds like you consumed so that was just fine my biggest piece of advice is to unwind that and be you abundance should talk about why you were broken divorce and not happy and what listen you're a byproduct of that stuff motivating something quick and I don't know if you know what that is a listen I've been putting out content of ten years trying to understand myself I really and say that but I think you just have to go honest as [ __ ] and I will tell you the number one thing that scares the [ __ ] animation nice watches and Ferraris here's what I need to just do not sell these people [ __ ] very real it's got to be valuable because we'll make money bring your grandkids are going to think you are dick right understood it's not an actual [ __ ] business you're not a [ __ ] self-help coach that only sells info products right do you have a skill set you're right I have you [ __ ] did something now you need a motivation to get up in the morning and work hard enough and smart enough and have the energy to drive that business but you know how to [ __ ] instantly you will craft that and then how do you motivate people staying here or of course I just went on and what about selling like how do you pitch projects like a little bit it's going to be very if you leave its garyvee just by saying [ __ ] I'll send up a flare anyone asking is one of the ways right like I'm surprised it happens like you know like look look it comes down to very simple things which is do not get caught up in taking a [ __ ] pretty picture like on a vacation on a [ __ ] boat on Instagram and selling these people [ __ ] yeah everybody's doing that is everywhere you go you built a business that's what you pound on okay and if you happen to be motivating and charismatic all about all the [ __ ] banners but there's plenty of people that none of these people have ever heard of making Bank and they're not charismatic and they're not clever and or not cute or interesting they're just [ __ ] making hundreds of billions of dollars running businesses ninety-eight percent of your energy and how you built your business and how it transformed like was it that you were unhappy like truth did you get divorce because cool of [ __ ] knows but the further you're willing to go down the truth barrel the more you're going to win and personal yeah I mean you start you're telling your story right I think you would write right up ten pieces but then talk about all sorts of [ __ ] tell my tell them half and I mean literally how I have ten minutes with Gary Vaynerchuk it's actually it's a great story I came into a meeting cynical then I met the guy I always remember his name funny name visited another like that's a story how about the first deal you got after being upset how about the first feelings out of 22 so listen I think all I can tell you is if you get anything out of me is all the hyperbole in the [ __ ] and drama and excitement and energy and accolades that I have the thing I feel best about you know my dad - better than you know me is there's truth behind it I love that because I know a lot of people that there are isn't ya and don't be one of those people it's too easy you've made a big step there's my man sir let me know man like those are hundreds of thousands and millions for the couple people that are the best at being [ __ ] you already made that but the [ __ ] are you playing hundreds of thousands of millions you want something real what's with the [ __ ] real play for tens and hundreds that only comes in real [ __ ] don't sell [ __ ] that's not true no [ __ ] secret the secret isn't real like I hope that's not real it's [ __ ] work it's like you know how you build the business in 20 years especially work your face off like you woke up at 6 I went to the job and it snowed but you've got to show up because if that person said you were a dick then this organization was going to use you talk about accountability talk about when there's only three or four major builders in New Jersey that you can't [ __ ] up ever because once your reputation [ __ ] you're out there's a million people that want a [ __ ] insulate yeah got it yeah the man I don't initiate it take care of much okay well I wish you out very much my pleasure no you're good
