Monetize Your Passion And Crush It!

"If you like Smurfs...Smurf it up!" - Gary Vee

Like Gary Vaynerchuk says in his Web 2.0 presentation...there is no reason you should be doing stuff you hate, because you can lose just as much money being happy as hell.  In this presentation, Gary inspires us all to make money doing what we love.  The internet and social media have finally leveled the playing field allowing just about anybody to create a strong market presence and monetize their passion.

I am a first hand testimony of this concept, building both of my businesses in 2009 through social media while having a really fun time doing it.  If you have 15 min, this is definitely a video worth watching.
