- Just gonna make a one off video for YouTube,
or this might be stripped for audio, we're just gonna
freestyle here, you know, Weezy inspired.
(laughs)
Sitting here in a hotel lobby about to do my
Shoe Palace drop, the case was a collaboration I did with
Shoe Palace, a retailer, just super grateful as we wrap up
the year, it's December 11th, twelve-eleven, just thinking
a lot about 2019, feeling very fresh, thinking a lot about,
you know, a lot about a lot of different things.
Facebook's on my mind, very fascinated
and excited about exploiting it next year,
I think the world's running away from it
which makes me feel passionate to run into it.
Thinking about my team a lot, a commitment to making
more content, very excited about the Team GaryVee handle
for 2019, a lot of good, young talent, big shout out to Max,
I feel like, a lot of like, our vibes,
I think we're getting tighter.
Continuation of written content.
Twitter, if we're doing a little bit of 2019 predictions,
I'm gonna dominate 50 to 80 year olds on Facebook,
I'm gonna put out a hundred tweets a day on my
Twitter account, which would mean that I'm gonna give up
a little bit of the control, not every tweet
is gonna be me, but I want to indicate
that DRock was the one who tweeted it.
We're just sitting on so much content,
just want to get a lot of stuff out.
I think next year's gonna be the decline of the
organic reach of Instagram, I think people are gonna be
crying about the numbers not being as good,
so that's running through my mind,
because everybody's become one-dimensional on that platform.
A lot of selling for me next year,
and not like, selling, like, I mean more like,
Empathy Wines is gonna have to pop,
we haven't started the marketing,
we announced it, but I'm excited about that.
I got at least one more sneaker
in me next year, likely two.
Feel like there might be one or two new little things
that I want to work on, accessories, apparel, different shit
like that, so I'm excited about selling, but in the form of
branding, continuing to disproportionately be the singular
entrepreneur that's bringing the most value for free to
every other entrepreneur, and then creating products that
have nothing to do with my information,
that people are consuming and if they are curious
to want to purchase those things 'cause they drink wine
or wear sneakers, then that is phenomenal,
but never giving with expectation.
The great downfall of what I observed in 2018 is how many
people think they're tricking their audience
and putting out shit, and then creating a VIP rope
or a closed group, or cutting off the video
half way through and if you want it, pay for it.
The inability for the market to understand that,
just build a brand then everything good will come of it.
1:37 pm, big year in 2019, the men's publishing company
that I own, I'm excited about that,
the global expansion of VaynerMedia, Singapore,
South America, Canada, all in play, Singapore's a lock.
VaynerSpeakers forming the best speaking bureau
in the world, VaynerSports, AJ is now certified.
It'll be fun to watch my brother become the best
football agent in the world over the next half decade.
Continuing to go into E-Sports and hip hop
and things that I naturally just like.
Investing, you'll be seeing more content from me
about taking investing meetings, by the time you watch this,
I'm not sure if we're gonna put out our first piece,
but I sat through a pitch, we filmed it, so we had a
great two years of my meetings that I used to take
with hip hop artists, that was content.
Well, the investment pitches I take, again,
creating a media platform, the people that pitch me,
you know, they're either gonna get my money or your money,
or exposure to VCs, I've got a knack, an ability
and a growing capability of putting people on
without asking for anything in return.
Whether that's a hip hop star, or now
a start-up, that's exciting to me.
I'm excited to see some of my predictions play out
next year, I think you'll see some of the things
I've been talking about play out,
so, that's good, that's always good.
Penetrating basketball culture, a lot of
NBA superstars fucking with me on Instagram,
DM'ing with them, I'm excited for NBA All Star weekend,
Charlotte, Super Bowl party, the VaynerSports
1:37 pm Super Bowl Party is gonna be real in Atlanta.
Bartering, I'm all about that barter life.
You know, trying to sell hundreds of cases
of Empathy in one shot, what can I do for you.
Same for the athletes we sign in VaynerSports,
that'll be fun, training talent,
like this Team GaryVee, I would rip my arm off
to be on Team GaryVee as a creator or a general manager,
just, we've got it down now, it's like
designer, writer, gif-maker, creator, video,
pictures, animated gifs, animator, or general managers.
The kind of like, if you're not a creator,
Max, like, will try to make you a GM, that's good.
These are things I'm thinking about
for my business life next year.
What's that?
Sports cards, absolutely, sports cards
is something I'm gonna lean in more
- [DRock] You forgot a really big one,
like, one of the biggest ones.
- I'm sure.
- [DRock] Trash Talk.
- Trash Talk is gonna be huge next year, flipping,
it's all the same, you know what's so funny DRock?
There is only one thing we do,
how can I have the greatest legacy as an entrepreneur ever
is what I'm thinking about, it will take me creating
businesses, like, I need Empathy to sell for
half a billion dollars to one of the biggest wine companies,
I'm gonna need VaynerMedia to be a billion, VaynerX, to be a
billion dollar revenue organization, I'm gonna need
VaynerSports to be a top five firm, I'm gonna need that,
but there isn't an entrepreneur within fucking striking
distance of the obsession of bringing the most value
(bell rings)
to his or her audience, and I'm doing it in all four.
Trash Talk is a free education for the people that have
a hundred thirty-seven dollars in their bank.
This, you know, Daily V, the White Papers, the all that,
the deck that I made, that's for the people, you know,
make, you know, the unbelievable commitment I'm making
in 2019 to service, small businesses, entrepreneurs,
and start-ups in the form of a
disproportionately big announcement in January.
I'm hungry as fuck to be a generational entrepreneur.
And I'm well on my way, and I haven't even fucking
stepped onto the field for the national anthem
of what I'm up to, so you can imagine, so I'm not in the
first quarter, I'm not on half time, I'm still putting on
my cleats in the fucking dugout.
We haven't even sung the fucking national anthem.
People are confused, I tell kids to be patient,
I'm 43 and I'm patient as fuck.
What the fuck do you think I think you're up to at 29?
(heavy bass noises)
It's gonna be a great year.
