Finished another book today. “Crush It! – Why Now is the Time to Cash in on Your Passion” by Gary Vaynerchuk. This is more of a motivational and informational primer to get you started on your own personal brand using online social media tools to help reach a broad audience.
We get to learn about his life growing up and how he’s “Crushing It” everyday building upon his wine business and how he used tools like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to broadcast his message to millions of users around the world. We never really get the definition of “Crush It” but somehow you develop the meaning of it.
The book is in a very casual non formal style of writing. A short read at only 142 pages. Comes only in hardcover, although he is coming out with an updated version in audiobook format I believe. I wish it was longer, but really, it was just right. I thought the retail price was a bit steep: USD 19.99 and CAD 25.99.
All in all the author is very honest and open to share such information in this book with everyone. His underlying message to “Crush It” as much and as hard possible doesn’t necessarily require you to follow his word to the letter, rather if you apply his idea and notions about the work required to become an entrepreneur, we all may have a shot to stand for ourselves. It’s definitely a wake up call for those who want to achieve their dreams in this day in age with the modern tools to do it. Vaynerchuk and his message have quickly become an icon for the social media world.
RATING: 4/5
