Crushing It How Great Entrepreneurs Build their Business and Influence and How You Can, Too

I've followed Gary on YouTube and podcasts for a while now, but never read any of his books. His online content can be hit and miss for me, some parts genius - some parts unwatchable.This book for me is genius. There is not much here that you won't have heard from Gary before, but the beauty of the book is that it is all here together, clearly laid out and explained. It is what Gary does so well, it isn't a motivational book (along the lines of Tony Robbins) but it motivates better than any other book that I have read for a long time. You finish believing that you could "crush it". He gives lots of ideas and theories mixed with real examples of people who used the ideas he used in his original book 'Crush it' to create success. It is easy and quick to read - easily labeled so you can refer back to parts that may be more useful and doesn't overwhelm with information. It covers examples from all different types of businesses and professions. He understands social media and its impact better than anyone - I really believe him when he makes statements about where things will have moved to in the future, the chapter on 'voice' is something that no one else is covering at the moment. You will learn from this book, there is not a wealth of deeply practical information, it is a book that will open your eyes to how to use social media for business and 'plant the seeds' that you could now develop.

I was excited for this but I was dissatisfied and have never finished it. It’s far too simplistic and, I know it’s the style of the book, but I didn’t like the interviews with the ‘real people’. Maybe it’s just me but I find it a bit boring, and not really informative enough. No one else’s journey is exactly the same as yours. This book is fine if you want a few tips and some inspiration but his podcast is frankly a better motivator. The book is bordering on recycled info - and the writing is aimed at ‘the everyman’ so it’s not intellectual enough for me (sorry that sounds a bit egotistical!) but you may know what I mean. I’ve gone off Gary a bit now, he’s a bit inflated and too SHOUTY. Calm down, we get it, work hard… ;)

I’ve been following Gary Vee for quite a while now and as a beginner to the entrepeuner journey or going from bricks & mortar to online - this is amazing. However I feel like if you already have social media presence and understand where it’s going etc it’s a little average. I normally read through business books really quick as I absolutely love to learn new things which will enlighten me and help my business but I’m hitting half way and not got that urgency to get through it. I’ll carry on with it since there’s always content that needs refreshing in our brains etc and perspectives can shift in a sentence. Definately a great one for new entrepeuners / those thinking of taking the leap! Thanks Gary!

Gary's follow up to "Crush it!" in which he updates the book in terms of movements in social media and layers on top success stories. That is, people that have contacted Gary and explained their journey and how they have "crushed it" using Gary's advice. If you consume any of Gary's content, I doubt you will find anything in here that you haven't heard before. The fact of the matter is, if you follow what Gary says in this book you will be successful and if you don't, then you are unlikely to be successful. Social Media, like so many things in life, means there are no silver bullets, there are no free rides. If you put the hours in, it pays off.

This guy makes you want to start a business... NOW!Not sure why so many people criticise his work. He is inspiring! He calls you to action!His advices are simple. His words speak loud.I appreciate his wil in helping. Different from other books in entrepreneurship, he is not selling any course or ebook. He is giving a lot that will make a huge difference in everybody’s lives. Well done Gary!
