Gary: Hey everybody, it’s Gary Vaynerchuk, author of “The Thank You Economy,” and
“Crush It,” and I’m super exciting to be teaming up with Shopify for the Build-A-Business
Contest.
This is really something that I thought about long and hard. I don’t put my name to a
lot of things, but anybody who’s building a business, especially e-commerce, is something
I’m very passionate about, where you can build a store and execute, through the Shopify
platform, really excites me. I teamed up with them for “The Thank You Economy” offer,
and I’m going to be doing three-power Skype sessions with you guys, so I’m looking forward
to that.
And then the winner, the grand prize winner of all this, gets a one-on-one session with
me. Very excited about it. As you can see, I’ve been doing my other job, tasting a
lot of wines today -- I’m still a little sober, which is exciting.
More importantly, I’m very excited to be teaming up with people like Shopify, to do
something like this, to really get… I know this is going to be on Shopify’s website
first, and this is going to be on my personal blog as well, I really want to inspire people
to realize, it’s never been a better time to start a business. It’s never been more
practical. We’ve never had The Cloud, making it so inexpensive. We’ve never had partners
like Shopify, allowing us to execute an e-commerce force so easily. I wish I’d had this and
didn’t drop $40,000 on an HTML bullcrap site in 1997. I wish I had platforms like
this. I wish I grew up in this generation, this era. I wish I was 25 years old, or heck,
75 years old with an idea I wanted to execute.
Looking forward to the three sessions with you guys, tons of q and a, going to give you
all the practical advice that spews out of my body. Congratulations right now to the
winner, because our one-on-one is going to dominate. I’m going to help you build your
business.
Hope you jump in, hope you’re part of this, hope you enjoy it. Hope I get to speak with
you quite a bit during this process. Thanks Shopify so much for allowing me to team up
with you on this, I will see all of you shortly.
