Gary Vaynerchuk

When I decided that I was going to be profiling Famous Entrepreneurs on Successfool I didn’t know initially who I wanted to profile first. Now keep in mind, these are people I consider famous entrepreneurs either because they’ve been very a successful entrepreneur in the past, are one now, or are an up and coming famous entrepreneur.

The week I was thinking of who I wanted to profile first, I watched an episode of the “Big Idea” with Donny Deutsch and I saw someone that I had been following on Twitter for a long time named Gary Vaynerchuk. What he shared in those 8 - 9 minutes where pretty awesome. The reason I chose Gary to be first is because everything he said on that show that night is relevant to what entrepreneurs need to be very aware of.

Gary Vaynerchuk of WineLibrayTV has helped take his family business from $4 Million to $50 Million in just a few short years. He has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, GQ, and Time, and has appeared on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Ellen, Nightline, and Mad Money with Jim Cramer.

Over the next few days I’m going to share with you the 5 things that you can start implementing RIGHT now in your business and start seeing some results. Here’s a couple questions in the meantime.

What do YOU love about what Gary’s doing?

What’s the ONE question you would as Gary Vaynerchuk?

14 Year Old David Wilkinson - Webkinz or Web Kid?

March 31, 2008

Breaking News at Successfool!

In his first ever Internet Marketing interview, David Wilkinson gets to answer the question for himself that so many people are asking…”Is 14 year old David Wilkinson a Fraud or a Fake?”

For those that don’t know who David is, here’s a few interesting articles on him when he was featured on the BBC as well as Darren’s Problogger. David has done some pretty amazing things at such a young age, but people are still doubting his legitimacy.

Shortly after those articles was released, you started to see all these other “kids” pop up and start trying to copy what David was doing…exploiting their age for an angle (which is genius in my opinion). the problem was there’s been a lot of fraud’s out there. I’m not going to name names, but there’s some kids out there that you can clearly tell that their mother, father, or even marketer is using them to make a profit which in my opinion is wack. It’s almost they’re saying, “I couldn’t come up with a good enough brand for my own name so I’m going to use this kid.

Before I go off, why don’t you just listen in to hear and see for yourself if David is really 14 or not…it’ll be entertaining I promise.
