"Africa is emerging," Social media entrepreneur says

“If you’re good enough, nobody’s stopping you. Not fucking Donald Trump, not the fucking Russians, nobody.”

Gary Vaynerchuk at the Web Summit

Gary is one of the most influential social media entrepreneurs. In the early 2000’s, he started his career by bringing his father’s wine business online. Today, he is the founder & CEO of VaynerMedia, a social media-focused advertising agency. Uber, Twitter and Facebook are among the companies he invested in at an early stage.

Gary is also eyeing business opportunities in Africa. In a recent interview with Larry King, he said: “I’m very intrigued by Africa. I think Africa is emerging. They’ve got cellphones, and at scale. I think that’s gonna be the place everyone’s gonna focus on in the next decade.”

At the Web Summit, Gary had two important messages for you. You can watch the entire talk in the video above. You won’t regret it.

“The minority of angry is much louder than the silent majority of happy.”

“Deal with the reality of the situation. You can cry, you’re just gonna lose.”

“If you’re a minority, if you’re a female, if you’re transgender, if you’re a fucking alien, the market doesn’t give a fuck.”

“Life is phenomenal.”

“The reason so many of you are not doing what you want to do is that you’re scared. You’re scared that your brother will judge you, your wife, your girlfriend, your husband, your mom and dad. You need to eliminate that fear and put yourself in a position to succeed.”

“The government or your mommy are not gonna help you. You’ve gotta do it. Own your shit. It’s never been better.”

“If you make the best shit you will win.”

If you put yourself in a positive mindset and work hard, nothing can stop you. For more content from Gary you can check out his YouTube channel.
