NEW GAME
“It’s important to build a personal brand because it’s the only thing you’re going to
have. Your reputation online matters, which in the new business world is pretty much the game, so you’ve got to be a good person. You can’t hide anything, and more importantly, you’ve got to be
out there at some level.
Gary Vaynerchuk – Entrepreneur, Author, Investor
