I've known about Crush It by Gary Vaynerchuk for some time now, but only recently decided to read it. You see, I thought I already knew everything there was to know about using social media to promote your business.

The bottom line is: I was pleasantly surprised.

First off, I resonated with Gary's experience of being immigrants and starting over in a foreign land.

Secondly, I totally agree with Gary's statement that life is too short to spend it doing a job you hate.

Crush It is all about pursuing your passion, doing what you love, and making money while you're at it.

Gary doesn't say everybody can be millionnaires doing what they love. But you can certainly make a decent living. Crush It shows you how–if you're willing to put in the hours and sacrifice some of the time you'd otherwise spend playing videogames.

You'll want to pay close attention to Chapter 10 (Make the World Listen), where Gary outlines his 12 steps to building your brand online.

Crush It is perfect for the beginner who's looking for a blueprint to using social media to build a business. If you're an intermediate or advance marketer, you may still like Crush It, because it is an inspirational success story.
