Book Review: Crushing It! (By Gary Vaynerchuk)

Gary Vaynerchuk  is the founder / CEO of Vaynermedia, a digital media agency which crossed $100mn in revenue in 2016. Gary, if you follow his Youtube channel is quite an inspiring guy with lots of actionable advice to entrepreneurs (especially the youth). Just for your information, his personal wealth has been estimated at $160mn – he has been an investor in Facebook, Tumblr, Buddy Media and runs a fund as well.

Gary Vaynerchuk’s latest book,Crushing It!: How Great Entrepreneurs Build their Business and Influence and How You Can, Too was released few days back and Gary has offered a lot of useful tips on how to improve/build on one’s personal brand.
Given that Gary’s business is into social media, he has a lot of practical (read: hard hitting) tips on how to use these tools for maximum benefit. Read the book, if you (and your business) are into social media and you are trying to find ways to improve your (personal) brand.
At times, Gary does come across as an overtly aggressive guy trying to sell social media, but let me tell you this – the book is for people who are hustling and not for the ones who think social media is an utter waste of time.
For Rs. 225 (~$4), this is definitely a worth read if you are into online business and figuring out what’s next for your business. Highly recommended, if you are the introvert types and have stayed away from building a personal brand – this book sort of gives you a kick in the butt!
