Affiliate Summit West 09 Wrapup – Gary Vaynerchuck Keynote

Another Affiliate Summit event has come and gone. I’m writing this post as I sit in the Vegas airport on delay back to Cleveland where it’s 6 degrees. I hate the cold but there’s no reason to stay in Vegas now that all of my friends are gone and the show is over.

So as I mentioned, the show is over, and what a great show it was. Shawn and Missy hit once again with a well-run, fun and informative show. Over 3200+ showed up in a poor economy… what does that tell you about this show?

As usual, this is my fourth time, I was the emcee for the show which meant I got to introduce the keynote speaker who was Gary Vaynerchuk of Winelibrary.tv. I’ve pasted the video recording of his keynote below. I highly recommend you watch it and get motivated to be successful!

Now it’s time to get home and get some things done. I always come back with a pocketful of ideas that turn into profitable businesses for me down the road. And that’s a really, really, good thing, no?

If we met in Vegas, it was great hanging out. If not, why didn’t come find me???? :)

Business Around A Lifestyle

The world changed on 9/11 in so many different ways. Since that day, there has been a major shift happening in the way people think and live their lives. Sure, many people still chase the dollar as their ultimate goal. However, many more people have begun to realize that the world could, well, end tomorrow.

That's why people are choosing to pursue a business around a lifestyle, instead of a lifestyle controlled by their business. It makes sense, right? If the world was going to end tomorrow, would you still try to live your life in a way you never wanted to?

Take a look around you and you'll see that this shift to becoming a lifestyle entrepreneur is being adopted by more and more people every day. Some of those people are falling into it because they have been laid off from their jobs and are literally forced into it. Some of those people just figure out a way to make it happen because of the "end of the world" thinking mentioned above.
