About this ebook

Four-time New York Times bestselling author Gary Vaynerchuk offers new lessons and inspiration drawn from the experiences of dozens of influencers and entrepreneurs who rejected the predictable corporate path in favor of pursuing their dreams by building thriving businesses and extraordinary personal brands.

In his 2009 international bestseller Crush It, Gary insisted that a vibrant personal brand was crucial to entrepreneurial success, In Crushing It!, Gary explains why that’s even more true today, offering his unique perspective on what has changed and what principles remain timeless. He also shares stories from other entrepreneurs who have grown wealthier—and not just financially—than they ever imagined possible by following Crush It principles. The secret to their success (and Gary’s) has everything to do with their understanding of the social media platforms, and their willingness to do whatever it took to make these tools work to their utmost potential. That’s what Crushing It! teaches readers to do.

In this lively, practical, and inspiring book, Gary dissects every current major social media platform so that anyone, from a plumber to a professional ice skater, will know exactly how to amplify his or her personal brand on each. He offers both theoretical and tactical advice on how to become the biggest thing on old standbys like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, and Snapchat; podcast platforms like Spotify, Soundcloud, iHeartRadio, and iTunes; and other emerging platforms such as Musical.ly. For those with more experience, Crushing It! illuminates some little-known nuances and provides innovative tips and clever tweaks proven to enhance more common tried-and-true strategies.

Crushing It! is a state-of-the-art guide to building your own path to professional and financial success, but it’s not about getting rich. It’s a blueprint to living life on your own terms.

Ratings and reviews

I just finished listening to the Audiobook for the first time! It was my first audiobook! Im not a fan of books but Gary Vee has really changed my aspect and way of thinking to such a degree that I can actually see beneficial results in my day to day life! If you want to do something, then go out and do it! No excuses or holding back. Failure is the biggest learner. This book also gives a very good insight on social platforms and how they are being utilized! I am quite happy I listened to this audiobook and will most likely listen to Crush It next! Thanks Gary Vee, I have changed my perspective on books and have seriously changed my day to day life since I started listening and watching, but not too much 😉, gotta get stuff done!

Absolutely love it! I haven't finish read it yet, but let me tell you, I'm hooked. I'm not a fast reader. Reading books isn't my favourite (yet). Plus, English is not my primary language. This book is about stories, history, all journeys that those great entrepreneurs (warriors) have been through. It show you the main principles to become a warrior, how to win today's war, and then grab your fantastic future.

I was able to become a full time entrepreneur at 22 which has been my dream for years. Thank you so much Gary, you have impacted my life and I could not be more grateful.
