Gary Vaynerchuk: Honorary Renaissance Mom

Posted by LisaYoung in Big Ideas | 0 comments

So I just read “Crush It” by the ‘thunderous’ Gary Vaynerchuk (@garyvee on twitter).  You’ll see a video book review in a later post.

But today, I decided to make Gary an honorary Renaissance Mom, and here’s why:

Gary's '3 Rules' make him an Honorary Renaissance Mom

Gary’s 3 Rules

1. Love your family
2. Work super hard
3. Live your passion

That’s the foundation of what The Renaissance Mom is all about. So many women think they have to sacrifice their career to have a great family, or that their family has to suffer in order for mom to be successful.

That’s crap. I say that in love.

The truth is, you can have both, but you have to work like heck to make it happen (thus, rule number 2).

And you have to do all three, or success will never taste sweet. Don’t want to work hard? Forget it.

Terse words, but not near as terse as what Gary offers in his book:

“With enough passion and swat, you can make anything happen.”

“The person who can dominate in hard times is the person who can dominate, period.”

“Skills are cheap. Passion is priceless.”

“Quality is a tremendous filter. Cream always rises, no matter how many cups of coffee you pour.”

‘Nuff said.

And for that, Mr. V, you become my first honorary Renaissance Mom.

Let me know where to send the shirt (and what size you wear).
