Do what you love and you will always be happy.

In 2008 at the Web 2.0 expo Gary Vaynerchuk spoke and spoke straight to the point on how it is important to do what you love. I feel the same way that he does, in 2006 I left a job that I had been on for 7 years to go to school and make a change in my life to do something that I love to do. Since I have begun a career in photography I have met a lot of amazing people. I may not be the richest person in the world but I am happy.

Vaynerchuk mentioned in his speak how he had taken over his family business and increased the profit margin over the years he was running the business, but he wasn’t happy so he stepped aside as the CEO and started a new business Wine Library TV.

Another thing that Vaynerchuk spoke about that I completely agree with is to treat your customers as friends and with respect and care about how they feel and what they think. The better you understand your clients or customers and have that one on one connection the better your company will be and the happier you will be. Vaynerchuk explained how he personally responds to each and every one of the emails.

One other thing that Vaynerchuk mentioned as well that I hear a lot from people is how everyone says they don’t have the time to start doing what they love, but like Gary said stop going home and sitting on the couch and watching TV, stay up late and work hard at it and give up some of your personal life now and later you will see success and be happy while doing it.

So with that being said if you haven’t watched the video of his speech then I would strongly suggest that you take the fifteen minutes to watch it and take the chances that are needed to do something that makes you happy.
