“Crush It! Summary”

You’ve probably heard a lot of motivational speakers and experts that say: A happy person turns his hobby into a regular job, which an individual would enjoy doing it on an ongoing basis.

This statement was not supported by Gary Vaynerchuk who is an internet and business expert; he twists this idea into something more profound.

He says: quit the job that makes you sad and start looking for a profession that would bring you joy, excitement, and happiness.

Okay, let’s move beyond the concept of an idea and take his example. How did an immigrant from Belarus, climbed the economic ladder so fast and rose to fame in his 30s?

Vaynerchuk only realized that the Internet is not something that he must take advantage of, he just made the best out of it with his Wine Library TV, the popular, a video blog that was published back in 2006.

Here’s the best part:

As an expert in brand development and internet marketing, Vaynerchuk unintentionally made his name a brand(well-known throughout the entire industry) in short amount of time, he is also a leading authority on wines through his many imaginative Internet Webcasts.

During his career, he faced a lot of criticism based on his style simplicity, according to many a much-needed change from the reserved mien of mostly wine critics.

The development of step-by-step programs has become a very popular method for educating people considering the unpredictable digital era that we live in.

Stay tuned for more:

Gary Vaynerchuk became a cyber celebrity with his kooky wine blog, and he believes you are also capable of living your online dream.

So, Gary created his step-by-step program a person should promote its brand using only social media like Facebook, Twitter leading to lots of benefits like increased sales and profits.

Nevertheless, once in awhile his approach can carry a dose of complexity– because Vaynerchuk somewhat childishly believes that anyone can emulate his success by following his methods.
