Gary Vaynerchuk Impressed Me – Perry Belcher, Imagine…

OK, Maybe I’m a cocky bastard but most gurus don’t impress me. Probably because they are all about money and I have already made (and lost) 10X more than all of them.. So what impresses me?
Passion
Money, Stuff, Friends etc…all come and go. Passion freekin’ RULES!
After you watch this Comment DAMN IT! I want to hear from people with passion. Tell me your alive.
Love Ya, Perry


Dammit. I saw a video of the dude speaking at Schefren’s event and was blown away. Further evidenced, here.
Geez. The boths of ya’ continue to impress me.
Saw this video about 2 months ago… has been one of the most inspiring videos ever seen.
GaryVee is one of my heroes of all time!
GaryVee for president!
Gary is the reason I’m on Twitter.
“There’s no reason to do shit you hate in 2008!”
Dude that means so much! THANK YOU! Lets cross paths and share some vino!
Isn’t he just the BOMB?! Love him – he totally motivates me, but, also helps me really focus!
Dude, I 2nd that. I ain’t impressed by much, but I gotta give it up to Gary.
Gary V. brings the thunder like Capt’n Lou & J.Y.D. !
You da man!
Perrymeister,
Can’t agree more with the vid and your comments. It’s inspired me to be more willing to piss people off in my marketing and communicate directly and passionately! With that in mind I’m updating the video on my main squeeze page.
!Viva la pacion!
Now I gotta go find someone to impress.

Wow! I had no idea about this guy. Simply amazing. I’m into the passion thing all the way and actually needed a kick in the pants about that!!!
Excellent.
Thank you.

Sheesh…where have I been? I risk sounding a little out of the loop here but….
I…
Have …
Never…
Heard of Gary Vanynerchuk.
This guy totally ROCKS!!! Thanks for posting the vid. Who knows how long it would take to find out about this guy.
First off I can’t stop laughing at the PP reference! Okay so I’m a big kid. A big kid with PP!
Patience and Passion, that pretty much sums me up. I use patience and passion every time I scrub those nasty dish pans. Now if I could just channel that same energy… hmmmm
Thanks for sharing,

YES, Perry!
PASSION DOES FREAKIN RULE! Every freakin time!
“You can lose money being happy just as easy as you can being sad.”
This guy, Gary Vanynerchuck, pressed my freakin PASSION BUTTON again, and again, and…
I absolutely, unequivocally, DO NOT impress easy (I know, an overused cliche) but not in my house, brother! Nod to Hulk Hogan
Being from the 60’s, I didn’t think anyone from Gary’s age group had the friggin cajones and the mental faculties to first, believe and second, speak like this.
Please feel free to pass anything of this value along to me, and I will damn sure post a comment.
Run BIG, run DEEP, and run STRONG!

PS: And Yes! I am ALIVE, every freakin day of my God-given life!
I <3 Gary Vee. Seriously. Thanks for posting.
Smurf it up!!
I love this video. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this. This is a video that never gets old. He gets me hyped every time I watch this. Thanks for posting it so I can be reminded of the passion it takes.
Can you imagine if every company in the world had one Gary V. working in it. That world would kick ass.
I spend my evenings trolling the internet, magazines, talking with the smartest people I can find and then sharing what I can through my blog AdJoke.
I believe advertising needs to change. The name AdJoke came about because I believe that advertising today is a joke. So much wasted money, so many pointless messages, so many annoyed consumers. Will my blog change it? Maybe not today, but tomorrow – I hope so.
And then I’ll buy the Calgary Flames.
Smurf it up!! I think I will watch this every day! Off to get my Masters to learn what the &%$&^ brand equity means. A brilliant speach by a brilliant mind. Thank you!
I’ve not yet had the pleasure of seeing Gary speak in person but his passion certainly comes through. And I like how he doesn’t sugar-coat it – you have to do work you love and work hard, while also doing work that pays the bills until your passion can provide.
Freakin’ awesome video. I’ve had a fear of the whole transparency thing but I have the b@lls to get out there are change with the times.
Thanks for the education.
Donovan Owens
Wow!
That TOTALLY resonated with me.
I am so grateful to have found this site (lovin’ what I see already) and grateful to you Perry for posting the video of Gary….raw, real and to the point! Awesome!!!
Wow – that guy is a trip – but, it’s midnight on a Sunday night and he still managed to get me fired up! Thanks for posting the video!
Perry,
Thanks for posting this!
I had heard of Gary Vaynerchuk and his wine show over a year ago, but never had watched it, or never had heard him speak.
I LOVE this!
Passion is what it’s all about.
So many ‘gurus’ preach the ‘get rich quick’ fantasy.
This guy, says: “Find Your Passion and Go After it!”
That’s what makes it all work.
That’s what keeps you going when you have a hard day, or when you don’t get as many sales as you want.
If you love what you do, and you are passionate about it, the people and the money will follow
Cheers,
Christina

I’d never heard of this guy either (not that I’ve been paying attention – AND NO I wasn’t watching LOST either!) LOL!
Kinda just common sense stuff really though, isn’t it? Brilliant for sure but common sense none the less. “Stop watching fucking Lost!” It’s really simple!
You BOTH impress me
Thanks for reminding us all about passion and purpose. I alwasy say you do your best work when you go back to your purpose!
WOW! Feel kind of foolish because this is the first I have heard or seen of Gary. But must say that was a cool presentation. Well now go to find out more….
Thank you very much for posting this. I saw a couple episodes of Gary’s wine show recently, and loved it, but figured that was only because I am an over-the-top wine geek.
I love his style and his transparency, and his energy helps shake the cobwebs out of my plan-plan-plan mindset.
So thanks again, and thanks for all you and Ryan have done as well. Looking forward to more…

Perry…
Thanks for posting Gary V. I’m new to this game, so I didn’t know him, but I’m in love.
I will watch that many more times and share…it’s about the passion not about the money. The money will hunt you down.
Thanks again for the post.

“Stop crying and just keep hustling!” The best quote EVER!
Very inspiring, I need to watch this at the start of each week.
You can’t fake passion. Gary will own the NY Jets within 10 years…..if he wants them.
Thanks for sharing!
Hey Perry,
Great video… And, the Jets still suck. I’m glad my son is only 3 years old, maybe by the time he is aware of sports and wants to go to a game they’ll not suck so much.
Panic or Profit… It’s your choice. Victory or Death… You Choose!
About that Legacy stuff… I want my great, great, great Grand kids to think good things of me too. I just hope they aren’t slaves of the 10 trillion dollar debt our asshole Gov. is giving them!
I keep coming back to what is the best nitch for me… What do I like to do beside raising my kids, skiing, SCUBA Diving and getting massaged by pros?
My wife and I built our own twin, super strong, earthquake, hurricane, tornado and fire proof, passive solar, environmentally friendly concrete, steel, foam and glass Geodesic Dome home; so that’s one for the legacy.
Making money is a nice hobby and to raise the kiddies I need a never ending supply of greenbacks so I’m launching some marketing tools never seen before… Only drawback is no programmer on earth knows how to do what I want since it’s never been done before. One programmer thinks he’s close so were going to try a soft launch in the next few weeks and see if it works or sucks. I’m hoping it works well enough to make enough to pay off the mortgage and all other debt and get enough to write version 2.0 of the same stuff so it kicks ass completely!
I’m just a little lazy so my project is designed for lazy marketers looking for a short-cut to get the word out about their stuff.
I’ll send a Twitter out once were up so you can let your followers know Perry.
Sincerely,
Bruce Nelkin LMT

Perry,
Big fan of Gary V.
I hope this is appropriate, but I will share with your readers that I conducted one of my men@pause seminars with him a few months go.
Completely FREE access to listen to Gary V. and other business change agents at http://www.menatpauseseminar.com
Hey Perry,
Thanks for sharing this video. Hit the nail on the head. Why the hell people do something they hate I don’t know. Hear that all the time. It took me a few years to figure that out, but for the last 30 if I don’t like it, I don’t do it, period. Life is too short.
Thanks again,
Mike
P.S. Today I just met you on twitter & so far I like you. Will probably tweet you soon
WOW – I absolutely refuse to go to my job tomorrow. OK, just kidding – but I refuse to just trudge, I’m going to kick up some dirt. Thanks for posting this, I had heard of Gary, but never had the opportunity to listen. Inspirational – PP!
Perry,
This is something we all have a sense of but have smothered the passion of. Thanks. I’m gonna start hustling my secret passions. Even if it’s just my brother or mom who likes it.
Very inspiring video. I had heard lots about personal branding on Twitter but never understood what it meant till now. I found out I am doing lots of things right in this area. Great to know.
Gary is amazing. I love the passion! Far from the masses with the bovine expressions of resignation…
Passion is very important to me. Lots of people think I am crazy, but its just enthusiasm and passion.
It takes an open mind first (no box to operate in); then when a great idea comes, get emotionally involved with it!
Real passion has a tendency to clear obstacles out of the way…
Great morning! I opened up an email I was just about to delete and it led me to your great YouTube video on social media marketing– then I hit this blog and was able to get PUMPED watching this guy Gary kick it big time. Ready to start the work day with some super-sized passion!
it was great. in financial planning it reminds me how i initially was successful. ADD VALUE! Before any interaction first i had to provide what i call a freebie.; something that would help the client first without any payback. an idea or tip that they didn’t know about before. also, i was passionate about my work. it comes through. this stuff really works and this video inspired me to do what i love and what i know works. thanks.
Yeh definitely love Gary’s passion for life and business and also the Jets, but that’s a different story all together.
Thanks for sharing the vid, adding it to my site as a reminder to stay passionate.
All the best,

Damn… I had to go outside and run three miles just to calm down after watching Gary.
Fired up doesn’t even come close to describing what that 15 minutes did for me.
Thanks for sharing – it’s truly an amazing video.
BIG P, (that meant to be affectionate, not urinary) But really thanks so much for vay-ner-chuck’s vid and I do hope he comes back to read all these comments. passion is a driving force in all we do, and gary is not lacking, thanks for the inspiration, it definitley go me going!
Hell Yeah… What’s up Perry?
That guy Garry’s pretty cool. What a great message. No excuses… Do what you love.
Thanks for everything,
Adam
Thank for sharing this video, it will for sure change the way I think about how to brand myself, thanks again Perry. PEACE
Thank for sharing this video, it will for sure change the way I think about how to brand myself as a leader like your self. Continue to keep up the great work thanks again Perry. PEACE
Wow, this guy is for real.Liking people, the proper tools and do what you have a passion for. Great job Perry.
Perry,
Thank for this awesome video! Gary V is right.
It is all about Brand Equity!
It is the GoldRush now of Brand Equity!
thank you,
Heather Ann Havenwood
Gary is pure, raw and absolutely amazing.
Take a guy with burning desire & passion in what he does and stands for … and he’ll trump some wanna be with all that fancy formal book learning.
Add deep down in the gut persistence and sooner or later, he’ll kick his competition’s ass around the school yard any day of the week.
Top it off with caring for others and he’ll have people beat a path to his door.
But here’s a question for us all to consider. When was the last time we did something entirely out of the blue to help our neighbor … and he wasn’t even home to say thanks?
It’s only when we really care about helping people & don’t expect anything in return … that we truly shine.
And that’s why Gary is a rising star.
LMAO @ this poor guy! WHO IN THE HECK does he think he is? tony robbins! ha ha ha
you gotta chill bro and please STOP cursing in front of people! Very unprofessional..BUT, good luck tho!
Awesome, bring passion to your projects and life and u will be a winner no matter what the obstacles, u will become unstoppable!
He is so powerful because he is so generous. That is it! Everybody is talking about having a free product. I believe Gary Vaynerchuk’s inspiration and existence is the best free product we could have. He is all over the place, and you can watch every time you are feeling down or about to give up.
Ok, I want to give a shout out to both of you. Gary & Perry ROCK!!!
That presentation about doing a business that you love just came in the nick of time. Gary Vaynerchuk is so passionate about helping people in business even though he is a millionaire. All it takes is hard work, passion and positioning yourself to seize the opportunity at hand.
As a website designer, I help alot of people online with their business and I have seen people working so hard only to give up just a minute before their business blossoms.
Another good example is Evan williams who started http://www.blogger.com and then sold it to google. Later on he launched odeo.com but it did not do as well. Instead of giving up, he co-founded http://www.twitter.com which even President OBAMA uses everyday.
Now how is that for a success story!
Love what you do and the rest will follow ..

Another great breath of fresh air!! This is so true. Once I started doing what I love things started to happen. The biggest benefit is I am way happier cuz I know I can make a difference. My first eBook is coming out this week and I am excited and scared at the same time. However I really do have a passion for assisting people in escaping from slave camp or cubicle hell. So I have called my eBook “How to Fire Your Boss and Have Him Hate to See You Go”. Thanks a million Perry for posting this one!
It’s awesome to see someone go after their passion and to help people get a a good kick in the ass to get them on the right track so they can own their life!
You have a choice so, make it a better than terrific day!
