You have to respect your parents. They are giving you an at-bat. If youre an entrepreneur and go into the family business, you want to grow fast. Patience is important. But respect the other party… My dad and I pulled it off because we really respect each other. – Gary Vaynerchuk
I want to sit with 80- and 90-year-old people more than anyone. They have played this game before. Not one of them has told me, I wish I had more money. – Gary Vaynerchuk
My dad is like a cactus – introverted and tough. Im a people person, like my mom, but I got my competitiveness from my dad. He came to this country from Belarus with nothing and built a real business. Hes my hero for giving me that need to run a business and for having enormous confidence in me. – Gary Vaynerchuk
People who build family businesses are not classically trained. They have to deal with an enormous amount of politics. You think corporate politics are tough? Go work for your dad or your mom. – Gary Vaynerchuk
