Hey guys, it's Gary Vay, Nerd Chuck, and this is the GaryVee audio experience.

So at 30, I started Wine Library TV, YouTube blows up at 31. I'm on Conan O'Brien, Ellen.

There's articles being written about me. Now they're writing that the business group

from three to $60 million in sales on becoming this guy. I got so many goddamn emails from

friends in high school during that period when I was showing up in all these magazines

and TV shows and every single one of them. I was like, hey Gary, you remember me from

high school? Oh my God, you're so lucky. I wrote back every single one of them and said,

let me just clarify one thing. I'm not lucky. I worked. I worked every goddamn weekend

at every holiday since I was 14 years old. So you can keep that luck shit in your pocket.

Every day that I live my life, I get five to 27 emails from people that are telling me

that they are quitting or they should quit or are really coming to me as a last resort

to convince them not to quit. I think a lot of times or maybe give them confirmation

that they should quit. Hey Gary, this is Sally. I've been doing my blog now for nine months

and I'm not getting the results that I like to see or that I was promised or that you and

you endo. Should I give up? Is my content that good enough and my voice not good enough?

And I think about it every time, every time I see these emails, every time people ask me at conferences,

I think about it. I think about how sad I am that I wasn't documenting my life or putting out

content or doing the Ask Gary V show, during those five and a half years of Wine Library TV,

especially those 18 months when nobody was watching. You know, the story that's never told

is the story that I was building Wine Library to a huge company long before Wine Library TV

and that the first month that I did Wine Library TV was the first time that Wine Library had not

grown 30% over the prior year's revenue. So not only did I have the patience to let it play itself
