Building Community – With Gary Vaynerchuk
It’s been a while since I’ve shared video, and thought I would share one from Gary Vaynerchuk’s talk at the Chicago Tech Report, which really resonated with me.
In this video Gary is talking about why building community is so important in doing business today. He also talks about why building community can give the “little guy” a leg up on the competition.
Small business has a distinct advantage in building a sense of community due to scale, and the ability to give a personal touch to our services. It’s not easy as Gary points out, building community takes hard work and long hours, but as Gary has proven it certainly can payoff.

Favorite quote from the video about what it takes to build a community:
You need to work your friggin’ face off!
Enjoy the video, have a great Sunday, and start thinking about what you are going to do next week to build your community!

Love watching Gary V. Not to mention I’m a Jets fan too.

Gary get’s it, that’s for sure. What’s unique about him is he explains it in a way that we can get “it” too! Not a lot of BS with Gary, just substance.

Gary V is the man! I love watching him speak. Gets me pumped!
@Nick
He really does a great job at getting you pumped up! And better than that he explains things in a way that empowers you to actually start doing them. Great stuff.
