We also talk about:
Why his original idea was to simply be a conduit to share personal and professional resources as a hobby.
What he thought his only option was because of his Tourette’s syndrome.
How the opportunities that came his way shaped his philosophy of “It’s Your Life, Live BIG“.
The revelations Josh learned at an early age working in the family business and how helped him become a pioneer of personal development online.

Gary Vaynerchuk is one of the best examples of personal branding we’ve ever witnessed. He “brings the thunder” to his online video show, Wine Library TV. He also hosts a show about personal development.
He took over the family business when he was 19 – a single liquor store – with annual sales around $5 million. He taught himself everything he could about wines and then turned the family business into a wine store. Then he gambled bigg with a full-page ad in The New York Times, bringing a flood of new customers to his store.
Now he’s doing over $45 million in business thanks in no small part to his show about wine. He’s become one of the world’s foremost authorities on wine, with a reported 60,000 people checking out his daily shows. He’s been given credit for helping the entire wine industry attract consumers that weren’t there before.
He’s also been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, GQ, and Time. He’s been on The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and Late Night with Conan O’Brien where he got the late-night comedian to taste grass, a cigar, and more to help him “develop his palette.”
Now, he’s the only wine merchant in the country with his own Hollywood agent! He’s garnering bigg speaking fees. He’s living his brand.
We were fortunate to see him speak recently. He emphasized how important it is to know your own DNA – what makes you … you. He said he has succeeded bigg (okay, he didn’t say it that way, but we had to put our “bigg” spin on it!) because he has remained true to himself.
He says we’re in the “gold rush of personal branding.” Gary Vaynerchuk has found his mine … and it’s a bigg one!
Some people are just likeable. There’s just something about them. You sense it instantly and it draws you to them.
Being likeable is important personally, but it’s also very important professionally. Here are five things we’ve observed from meeting people who are likeable:
#1 – People who are likeable are confident in themselves. This confidence exudes from inside themselves. They are comfortable with themselves and as a result you feel comfortable with them. If you want other people to like you, you have to like yourself. That’s the starting point.
#2 – People who are likeable are welcoming. From their posture, their body language, and how you see them interact with others, they seem to invite other people to reach out to them. #3 – People who are likeable give you a warm reception. They have a good handshake and let’s face it, there is such a thing as a bad handshake. They smile and greet you sincerely. They instantly make you feel like a friend.
#4 – People who are likeable are engaging. Sure, they have plenty to say, but they don’t dominate the conversation. They ask you a lot of questions and listen attentively to your answers. They take a genuine interest in you.
#5 – People who are likeable are just plain fun. They’re light-hearted. They don’t take themselves too seriously – often exhibited by a certain self-deprecating humor. Or they just look at life through a lens that brings a comedic sense to the things we all experience.
The underlying secret to being likeable The thread that holds all of these things together is that people who are likeable …
… make other people feel good about themselves.
It’s really very simple, if you make people feel good about themselves, they’ll feel good about you. They’ll like you!
And the reward is that by being genuinely interested in other people, you’ll learn more from them than you can learn any other way. From what they do, to what they’ve experienced, to their philosophy on life. You’ll come away from almost every conversation enriched.

Our bigg quote today is by Mark Twain, who said,
“He liked to like people, therefore people liked him.”
So to connect with human beings, enjoy humans being.
Next time, we’ll blog about the billionaire and the batboy. What Warren Buffett learned from Eddie Bennett, perhaps the most famous batboy of all time. Until then, here’s to your bigg success!
