Crush It! by Gary Vaynerchuk (2009, Hardcover)

Crush It! is a terrific book by a man who came to the United States in 1978 speaking no English. He has worked and strived and attained some huge goals and achievements and shows you in this book how you can do the same.

This book is VERY inspiring, meaty, challenging, and full of HOPE!

Gary Vaynerchuk shares simple lessons and simple rules to success in life, but he shoots ideas and inspiration and logic and honesty with the intensity of a teenager playing paintball. His energetic tone feels like a mentor, teammate, cheerleader, boss, parent, best friend, life coach, and guru.

Vaynerchuk talks a lot about internet presence and social marketing, as you grow a business and career.

If you’ve forgotten or left your dreams and passions behind, those thoughts will come flying back to you as you read. He shows you how you can live and work at your PASSION and not just a job. He warns how to be flexible and change with the times, not just be rigid in your expectations. He shows you how he does it and how you can see the big picture and the end goal and how to get there, even with setbacks, detours, or roadblocks.

This is a book to read and refer to more than once—you will have aha! moments. You can read this in one sitting, but you’ll likely go back to reread it and keep jotting down your ideas. The book is full of HOPE, direction, inspiration, instruction, and even a kick in the rear.

Crush It! is a great gift for yourself and others. A++++
