Even at a young age, the entrepreneur blood can
already be sensed through his personality. Gary Vaynerchuk, a Wall Street Journal and New York
Times best-selling author first showed actual interest in business when he
operated seven lemonade stands at the age of eight. At 10 years old, he already
began selling baseball cards in malls at the local neighborhood.
During his high school years, while working at
his family’s liquor store, Gary began reading a number of wine books and found
that wine excited him as much as baseball cards did. As he went on to college,
he spent weekends at their store and recognizing the emerging importance of
e-commerce, he launched WineLibrary.com in 1997 which helped their business
grow significantly.
In 2006, he launched the Wine Library TV where
he posted wine reviews, getting about 100,000 views daily. He also ventured in
video blogging. In 2009, he signed a 10-book deal with HarperStudio and
released his first book entitled Crush It! Why Now is the Time to Cash
in on Your Passion. In 2011, The Thank You Economy, the
follow-up to his first book, was released.
As of today, Gary continues to influence
different people in different industries, with his different views on different
things.
