Gary Vaynerchuk For A Day !

Gary Vaynerchuk talking

I’m Mars Dorian, the creator of this blog.

But for a day, I’m pretending to be Gary Vaynerchuk.

Hello my Vayner Stars,

I’m Gary V and I’m going to totally dominate you with this post.

You may know me, I’m the host of “The Thunder Show” -The coolest wine show in the galaxy !

And yes, I’m not just the frickin’ Wine Guy, I actually have a real business !

But hey…

This is not about me, this is about you !

Too many people are wasting their life doing a job they hate, and I’m going to change that. After you finished reading this post, you’ll have all the tools you need to really, really crush it !

Listen, I don’t want to say it, but I really am the coolest guy on this planet.

People always ask me – Gary, what’s your secret ?

And I always say it’s my DNA.

My writing sucks, thanks mom, I know that. But hey, thank God there’s video. Some people pee in their pants when they see a video cam – not ME -– put the lights on me and I shine !

I was born to do that. And you know why people love me ? Because I am 100% authentic – I’m the real thing ! Sure, some people hate my guts, but I can live with that.

No one can copy me. You can’t. Your mother can’t. Try to compete with me and I smoke you out of the water. Try to compete with and I will destroy you.

But hey, there are plenty of other niches you can dominate.

Open your ears and listen to me

Listen, writing is cheap. I’d love to video blog this post, but my little Misha toilet-flushed my Flip Cam and now I have to write this stuff. I don’t care. I’m a Vaynerchuk !

Anyway, here are some tips you really need to crush it:

  • You are your own brand. It’s not an option, it’s a necessity now. People want to work with real people.
  • Passion. I know it’s so cliche, but it’s really about passion. Breath your passion and you’ll be able to work 17 hours a day, just like me !
  • Care. Care a lot ! I mean it. Answer every comment, every email, and every blackmail for the rest of your frickin’ life ! Go into every forum you can get your smelly hands on and do the work: Help, answer, help and so on. Build reeal relationships !
  • Be authentic and real. Give me your RAW side. Don’t try to be perfect; we’re sick of that. Write like you talk, don’t worry about the mistakes. Don’t ever edit yourself. Make a video blog and show me your little kid throwing up on that cashmere carpet. NICE ! It’s raw and it’s human.
  • Choose your medium carefully ! Not everyone can be a son of gun like me. Give me a frickin’ Flip Cam and I’ll blow you away with my awesomeness. Video is my domain, that’s where I shine. But that may not be true for you. Maybe you’re a 28 old geek still living with your mom. Cool. Then write a blog with all your geekness. Podcast, video, writing – whatever. Choose whatever fits you 100% and dominate it !
  • Trust your instincts. Seriously, the online world is full of that analytics and SEO crap. I don’t give a sh%t about it, I just follow my guts. Produce content that’s straight from your heart, and people will find you.
  • Serve your community. Listen, you can have a triple-sized ego like me and still help your audience – I don’t know how, but it works. Just tweet a message like “What can I do for you ?”

You’re in business to serve your community. Don’t ever forget it.

Listen, don’t start whining now : Gary, this is so hard, I have a day job, what about my family ?

Stop crying and start hustling ! Ladies, we’re building a BUSINESS here. Go home,

spend 10 minutes with your family (remember: family first!) and then work your face off !

If you don’t hustle every single second, you’re toast ! Some douchebag like Mars Dorian will out-hustle you and he’s going to kill it.

If you have a day job then forget about sleeping. 8 hours after your work is plenty of time to do some serious damage.

Go crush it !

And remember:

Love your family.

Work superhard.

Live your passion.


I’m done.

I’M DONE.

    This is awesome! GV is the man and you presented his awesomeness well!

    • http://www.marsdorian.com/ Mars Dorian

      Thanks Matt,

      I really tried to capture his essence here :) And I went a little overboard, because it was so tempting !

  • http://www.theinfopreneur.net/ TheInfoPreneur

    Ha ha I liked this, have you ever met him?

    • http://www.marsdorian.com/ Mars Dorian

      Hey James,

      No, I've never met him. His web site was the closest I ever got to.
      But who knows ? The future is full of possibilities !

      • http://www.theinfopreneur.net/ TheInfoPreneur

        Yeah brother, maybe we should do a double team ! I think we could be bigger than Gary dude

    This is just too good by you and oh God the way you have illustrated everything is just too cool.

    • http://www.marsdorian.com/ Mars Dorian

      Hey thanks for the comment,

      But I hope you understand that this is a Gary Vaynerchuk sketch :)

    Freakin' great dude. Solid work. How'd it feel being Gary V for the day?

    • http://www.marsdorian.com/ Mars Dorian

      Thanks Alex,

      It was vaynertastic !

  • matthewneedham

    Are you sure this isn't a guest post by Gary V?!!

    I think you really capture the essence of him here, thanks for sharing!

    • http://www.marsdorian.com/ Mars Dorian

      Thanks Matthew,

      Yeah, I'm pretty sure this isn't a guest post :)
      I think there's a little Gary inside of me :)

  • http://www.ameaningfulexistence.com/ Karen Ruby

    Mars! This was fantastic and so creative. I've read his book and you really nailed him and his style.

    No one has to read his book – they just have to read this post and will know what he's all about.

    Great job!

    Karen

    • http://www.marsdorian.com/ Mars Dorian

      Thanks a bunch, Karen !

      I really tried to make as authentic as possible, while adding a slight humorous flavor to it :)

    Thanks for sharing… I enjoyed the talk at U of T in Toronto on this tour & it's nice to have simular talk to review again along with sharing with my friends on facebook. ( That's proof of the “tribes” – word of mouth economy )

    On the point about family vs. hard work for Gary, I’d say that he is working so hard for his family so they can continue to have more, still putting them first. They would probably tire of seeing him all day, as any of us would with anyone.

    I have read and cherish my signed copy of CRUSH IT! This is the first of a 10 book deal that Gary made with his publisher and he came out swinging. It was an easy and entertaining read that really motivated me to get the ball rolling with social media. I also purchased the audio version because I like to listen to Gary's passion.

    • http://www.marsdorian.com/ Mars Dorian

      I just have the book, which really is an awesome read. I didN't know that there's audio version as well. I might get that one, I love his over-the-top personality !

  • http://www.virtualbusinesslifestyle.com/ Chris C. Ducker

    This sounded very much like Gary himself… Sure you're not Ghost Writing on a Guest Post by him – er… on your OWN blog..!?? lol

    Nice piece, Mars.

    Been reading your blog for a bit, this is my first comment. Funny to see you also commenting for the first time on my blog the other day, too. Thanks!

    Chris

    • http://www.marsdorian.com/ Mars Dorian

      Well, I'm not entirely sure ! Maybe his spirit infiltrated my mind and made me write this post, I guess I'll never know !

      I appreciate your time !

  • http://www.zoomwhitening.com.au/ whitening teeth

    I will never stop watching lost! man you're so high, truly a psycho… but who cares, if you do what you like to do, I give you tons of credit for that!

    • http://www.marsdorian.com/ Mars Dorian

      Thanks a bunch,

      It's just about being your true self :)

  • jeff_goins

    Hey Mars, thanks for the comment on my blog. Cool site.

    • http://www.marsdorian.com/ Mars Dorian

      Thanks, Jeff

    Hey Dorian,
    You look so real, even more real as Gary V. I've always tried to be perfect and at times, i find it difficult expressing my self the way i ought to, simply because i want to find favor in the eyes of men.
    Your post is so real and it has just transformed my inner self. I will go real from now on.
    No one can copy me when i go real.

    • http://www.marsdorian.com/ Mars Dorian

      “No one can copy me when I go real”
      Awesome.
      And that should be the essence of your brand !

    It would be totally cool to be GV for a day. The guy, simply put, lives “the” life. I'd trade in a heartbeat.

    That was great. Lots of energy just like Gary V. I need to let a little bit of craziness out myself.
