One of the most inspirational speakers at the Rockin Conference I attended in Orlando was Gary Vaynerchuk. He has his game on 100% and will no doubt own the NY JETS one day
. His passion is palpable and he literally sat there for HOURS after his speech, definitely hungry and tired.. until everyone felt that they had whatever piece of him he could give before moving on.
Some people, as Frank Kern so expertly delivered at the conference, have to do deep introspection to figure out WHO THEY ARE before being able to take over your market. You become 100% true to yourself, be 100% true to your Market, and the rest will follow.. Gary was BORN with it, and it seeps from his being. He was trying to teach it, and yeh.. some people will get lucky, and will train themselves how to market from their CORE.. but it may just be you either HAVE it or you DONT. Well let’s rephrase that. Everyone HAS something.. its just owning up to that and being great at it.
So can I make a living being a flirt lol.. I probably could.
As I went over to winelibrarytv.com to see Gary in action, I thought it was pretty ironic that the episode of the day, #422, is all about Kosher Wines. Do you know Gary that the symbol for tourism in Israel is 2 figures holding HUGE grapes! Well some of you may know where that Biblical story came from, and it didnt exactly turn out great, but the logo stuck.. - Check it out —>
I especially love how Gary says one of the wines smells like Bacon. Wonder if he knows Bacon is way up high on the NON Kosher list . So Gary, this chick from Israel thanks you and appreciates you for your appearance in Orlando, your personal time, your inspiration, and the support you gave our products today!
Right back at ya:
P.S - One thing that Gary has are FANS. TRUE fans. I dont think you would believe me if I told you HOW many people visit this blog, and READ, but DONT comment! Be a part of the conversation. It’s so much more fun for both of us, and then I can get to know you better, and maybe share with you some of my secrets hahaha.. seriously dont be scared. I know you are out there!!
My favorite Disney Picture (I was at the conference, so didnt get much Disney time therefore my Mom and Sis have all the pics!) so my ONLY picture from our trip - 2 of the kids sleeping on the plane.
Parting words of the day: Brand Yourself through Your strengths and Talents, Fans will Follow, and the rest will Happen.

You are SAFE on this blog. I have gone into my backend and removed EVERY affiliate link. The only stuff that exists are Google Adsense blocks, and it’s just cuz they fit in nicely! I wont be running away from blog posts promoting affiliate products, but how many have I done of those anyways?? I am extremly selective. I know what its like to unload tons of cash for one dream or another.
Suddenly the idea of earning money off of people who innocently come by here interested in hearing what I have to say does not sit right with me.
Regardless of recent slacking off on posts here.. for various personal reasons, I find this decision to be a big step for me..
Can you see that or do I need to spell it out for you? I dont mean to sound like some father berating his teenage son for his bad behavior.. I REALLY want to know if you GET this.. or if you need it explained.. I would love to explain it.. but I would also love to read a comment from anyone FIRST that you get it..
wow.. pretty long winded there..
Can you add to this conversation below?

Hey Mikey..
What did the Eclipse look like up close?
What does an Eclipse really mean today when the moon is just a backdrop to all the lights from Starbucks, Mcdonalds, and miles and miles of highways..
Imagine yourself in the middle of a desert, on top of a mountain, with no lighting.
Then relive tonights experience..
and that Mikey, Meir Volk .. that is what the world is like without YOU.. There is a black cloud and complete darkness. “Nothing I can say.. Total Eclipse of the heart” - Yes I am a product of the 80’s..
.. on my way to a business convention for our company in Orlando.. going to help inject us with more of what you were looking for in the first place.. Longevity. Read that and weep…
I know you are sooo angry to have this in writing, and drawing even more attention to you!! Especially since you know I can get this up high on the search engines Meir Volk .. so I will respect your wishes
and not write anymore..
for now..

I have recently been trying to move my blog away from the personal towards the educational.. ya know real value, blah blah blah
I always have about 10 posts half written that get tossed aside for the next great thought.
However, today, and for the last 5 days I am just going through the motions..
My friends.. I have lost my direction, my purpose, my taste, my drive..
I am a rowboat in the middle of the ocean. I have oars, but I HAVE LOST MY COMPASS…
My business partner, who appeared out of the middle of nowhere, dove in with 2 feet, and said I trust you, I believe in you, You have talent, and this is going to be amazing.. oh and how much do you need to live on until it happens… well he was tragically killed in a car accident outside Los Angeles. He was a 30 yr. old beautiful and generous without limits, father, husband, son, dear friend to many, and a True Rock Star at affiliate marketing.
Meir ‘Mikey’ Volk … Thank you.
I never saw ‘The Secret’ .. but read back to my next internet millionaire quest and TELL me if you didnt see it happen. Yes I was too busy working towards it to write as much as I should have (as much as YOU would have like to see rather). This stuff is out of control..
oh, and If you think I am writing about money, just turn around and leave right now… the only money I wanted to earn was to show him gratitude for his faith in me.
I am on my way to the states tonight for 3 weeks. My main consideration to NOT go would be the inevitable absenses from my computer. Just traveling is a day off each way, forget the obligatory Target and Walmart expiditions.. (even internet millionaires shop there). Now I turn on my computer and feel the bile rising in my throat.. yeh TMI.. sorry.
So what now?

Hi.
Based on some feedback from the video.. I just wanted to clarfiy the following point regarding consultations…
The goal is NOT to prey upon local businesses with ideas of getting rich quick from their websites. Here is a story to clarify:
Caroline has a local stationary store. She makes invitations, customized party stuff, business cards and the like. She has a cute little shop in a strip mall in any city, any state, USA. Caroline paid a web designer friend of hers $500 to throw together a website since everyone needs a website. To order you would have to call her during business hours, or send emails! She used it like most small businesses - as an online business card. But she never got any action or extra business from it! Her website designer friend knew how to make it cute, but not google friendly!
Enter YOU.
You tell Caroline that when locals start searching for items which she sells, they will be able to find her site sitting smack on the first pages of Google, that she can offer a coupon on her site, after retaining some personal information, and continually pitch those people via email with promos for her own products. If she starts to gain some exposure, she can offer advertising slots on her site to other complimentary local businesses.. like a caterer, or wedding planner. There is ecommerce, enlisting affiliates, doing affiliate marketing herself, social marketing stuff like contests.. invite people to design a winning logo in exchange for more work, etc.. Just scratching the surface here.. the list goes on and on..
To repeat myself.. I just had to make it clear that we are talking EASY work and not approaching people to become internet marketers.. rather to market better on the internet. Clear? Want to see if that report is still available that gives you the tools to follow through? Check it out here. Just comment here if you have any questions or contact me if you want more assistance.
