Gary Vaynerchuk, whose latest book “Ask Gary Vee”, I won in a video competition last year (it’s great)

 

Is often stopped for a selfie or a quick word when his car is stopped at traffic lights en-route to meetings in New York 

 

He often films these exchanges on his phone and puts them on his Youtube channel - he also discusses then in his books 

 

One of my favourites is a very short exchange he has with a young woman who spots him in the back of his limo while stopped in traffic and waves at him with great excitement, phone raised in the “selfie?” position

 

Gary opens his window and says hello 

 

After the initial “I’ve read all your books and I’m your biggest fan” exchange she says after getting her selfie 

 

“ Can you give me one sentence that’ll change my life?” 

 

Gary laughs and says “Ok here it is” …….

 

“You are going to die”. 

 

The young woman totally gets it - “OK so DO SOMETHING right?”. 

 

“You got it - good luck” says GV as his car pulls away 

 

So true isn’t it.

 

Gary Vaynerchuk knows more than most that the place to DO SOMETHING with your limited time in this world is the Internet 

 

He used the Internet to turn his family’s flagging wine business into an “overnight” success and to  create numerous 7 and 8 figure businesses for himself and many others 

 

And he’s done it just by being himself on multiple online platforms each of which he has mastered and leveraged fully

 

Could you do this? 

 

Maybe, maybe not - we don’t all have his drive, energy and personality 

 

The point is though the internet gives us all this level playing field to work on - like nothing else on earth 

 

You don’t need to be rich to start with, you don’t need to be young, pretty, a genius, whizz kid or to be born with a unique talent 

 

All you need is a strong WHY (The clouds you aim for as Gary V describes it) and a willingness to learn the ropes (the dirt as he describes it) 

 

Those are the exact principles that SFM built their unique platform around - and why “Ask Gary V” was the prize they gave in that competition I mentioned 

 

Most of us can’t afford to hire Mr V’s services and most of us won’t stop him for a quick one liner 

 

But most of us can learn how to leverage modern technology to build the kind fo lives we ideally want to live - in the time we have 

 

When we have the right mentors, plug into the right systems and learn the right ropes 

 

All of which can be found at SFM - you just need to apply 

 

 

 

Cheers!
