Crush It!: Why Now Is the Time to Cash in on Your Passion by Gary Vaynerchuk

5.0

I had this book gifted to me years ago and read sections but this is the first time I know I've gone all the way from cover to cover. I'm giving it five stars because for its genre, it's fantastic.

This is a great book of encouragement for anyone who wants their income to come from something they are passionate about. Why work in a job you hate? Why do all your work to benefit your boss? This book will help you strike out and build up a life you enjoy.

The catch is that you'll have to work harder than you've ever worked before. It'll be work you enjoy, so in theory won't be as taxing, but the book uplifts entrepreneurs who only sleep 3 hours a night and devote every waking second to the advancement of their brand. It's a trade-off, for sure.

As far as self-help/business/entrepreneur books go, this is one of the best. It's surprisingly not dated, considering it was published in 2009 and talks about all the right websites to be on. The author clearly has a talent for spotting trends.
