I attended SEED this year and was blown away by Gary Vaynerchuk’s portion of the day. His power house of a talk hit home when he spoke about building equity within yourself. I’ve wanted to build my personal brand for a long time now. I’ve tried blogging numerous times and have always crashed and burned. For myself the blogging kill factor starts when I doubt my writing skills and choice of content.

Over the past couple of days I’ve been working on catching up on my numerous RSS feeds. During this catch up process I watched the below video post by Gary and was inspired once again by the current online king of personal branding. I’m working on getting my word press install upgraded and then it’s time to tackle a new theme. Keep checking back as I grow my personal brand inspired by some verbal ass kicking by Gary V.

For the last year plus I’ve spent a considerable amount of time working with Amy Rootvik to launch Walla Walla Wine Cellar. The fruits of our labor went live early in December 2007. We are currently offering free shipping through March 1st, 2008. Check the site out and let me know what you think.(coupon code: GOFREE) 

I’ve put off blogging for a long time. As of late the excuse was that I needed to have a stellar first post to WOW my readers. Since I have no idea when I will actually take the time to write a stellar post, I’m charging forward as is. I invite you to follow along as I carve my online trail.
