Thanks for what you’ve shared in this book. Ditto to the “Shot in the arm” and “Kick in the butt” comments.
I believe all your fans should have a contest to see who can quit their job and make their first Million the quickest, by applying the principles in your book. Something along those lines anyway. Ready? GO!
s.c.
How does one do WHAT ONE LOVES, that is, his or her art, and do what Crush It suggests?
No doubt Gary is a great salesman, very loquacious, but these sorts of people (the Lee Iacoccas of the world) have always been successful.
I just don’t see anything new here.
Great salesmen have always been great listeners. And, great salesmen have always been passionate about what they SAY THEY love.
What about the guy or gal with wonderful artistic skills, but one of them not being wordsmithing?
I suppose I need clarification here.
With the limited real estate on the net for a business worldwide (that is, instead of tens of thousands of wine experts -or anything else- on the net, we are limited to the first two search engine pages)if we don’t get there first, we are dead to the consumer.
We are seeing this for example with Christmas ornaments (Just a small example). While there used to be two wonderful artisans for every mid-sized community, now we are moving toward having 20 manufacturers for the whole world, and these are not necessarily the best artisans, but rather the people with the most money for advertising or the most time to spend on the internet.
I remember that Henry Ford, and Wilbur Wright were pretty quiet guys. In the world Gary is talking about, how can Crush It work.
Ford or Wright certainly wouldn’t be spending any time on Twitter. Nor would Michelangelo or Da Vinci. Ross Perot and Jesse Jackson, yes.

I read Crush It last week and already started implementing videos in my blog. I am a photographer and it was perfect timing getting this book. I’m already seeing some positive effects from all the work. I’ve been staying up late every night trying to comment on different blogs & forums. I’m in it for the long haul because this is my livelyhood and I already see that I’m going to be light years ahead of my competition by making my business transparent.
CRUSH IT has changed my mindset regarding internet marketing. Previously I believed that I had to use email capture pages/squeeze pages, but Gary has helped me realize that with social media capture pages are obsolete… Gary V is like Seth Godin on speed!!!
Thanks Gary!

Gary-
LOVE your book. I have a select number of titles from an exhaustive list of books I have read in the last several years that are in my “MUST READS.” Yours is now in the top 4.
1) Crush It! Gary Vaynerchuk
2) Four Hour Work Week Tim Ferriss
3) Rich Dad Poor Dad Robert Kiyosaki
4) Cash Flow Quadrant Robert Kiyosaki
I use these books anytime I need to give a special gift as an education is the most valuable gift one can provide a friend.
Inspired by your book, we have not simply reviewed your title, but we are actively putting your principles to work. My business partner and I have started a webshow/video blog that covers the principles of Lifestyle Design. I know you have a different opinion on this than Tim Ferris, but I believe that the two of you are preaching the same principles. We are marrying peanut butter and chocolate. We place your work, Tim Ferriss’ work, and the fundamentals of Robert Kiyosaki together to create a community that will explore the potentials of following your passion to develop systems that create as much passive income and freedom as possible. We do this so that we can concentrate on the most important aspects in life; family, friends, and legacy.
We would be honored to have you check out our show as it is high energy and full of references to you and your book – In the first episode we share how each episode will be full of “All Star Shoutouts” to our favorite authors. (You, Ferriss, Kiyosaki)
We also issue ourselves a Big Out of the Box Challenge – we have one week to make contact with you and get a response. – (Inside Scoop – WE SUCCEED and the episode that reveals this publishes tomorrow)
Our webisodes can be found here:
Episode One ——-> http://vimeo.com/7695888
Episode Two ——-> http://vimeo.com/7714650
Episode Three —–> Publishes tomorrow
I so HOPE this causes you to take action!
We will share a glass of wine one day.

Get out there and make it happen! It’s all about the passion!!

Amazing Book, how long do we have to wait for the next one??? It felt like you were jumping out of the pages and giving me a well needed, yet compassionate, kick in the rumpus! Thanks Gary!
i really did enjoy your book, thank´s
Matt S. did an awesome job slamming the video together, mine didn’t catch his eye, but here’s my thoughts on the book anyways!
http://anothersamchan.com/gary-vaynerchuck-crush-it-book-review/
This is a great video. Your book has inspired me to move forward with my media marketing plans: Ustream, Videos, Podcasts, Blogs…all coming very very soon. Thanks to you Gary.
Finished it last night! Just posted a blog on my site about it, too: http://swbates.squarespace.com
Amazing book, great biz advice, and seriously, the most inspirational, not only business book, but BOOK.PERIOD I’ve ever read. Not following your passion? Why not? Not earning money from doing what you love? Why not? I mean, you read this book and you realize these are serious, legitimate questions you should be asking yourself. Every day. Then, you should be figuring out what you can do to live your passion, follow your dream, and earn your living from it. And if that means working for 6 or 7 hours or more every single night after you get home from your day job, so be it. No excuses — that’s the other thing I love, love, love about this book: there are no excuses for not pursuing your passion, and reading the book gives you the kick in the butt you need to start doing it! Did I happen to mention how much I LOVE THIS BOOK?!
Gary, you are the man! I LOVED Crush It! I have it on Kindle and in hardcover and recommended (by recommended I mean forced) friends to buy it. They LOVED it as well.
We’re all at the forefront of a new media and personal branding revolution and you’re the pied piper of this movement.

I had a great time making and posting the video. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the book and swinging by Seattle, Gary! Here’s the review I did of your Vook (yes, I meant Vook!).

I bought the book immediately after hearing you on TWiST, and it’s been really inspirational to me. Over on my blog, where I’m reading a business-related book every week and then writing about it, I did a review last week. Crush It! is a large part of the reason that blog even exists–I don’t know how anyone could read the book and not feel inspired to get out there and do something.
My review is here for anyone who wants to take a look: http://ryanholliday.tumblr.com/post/261638278/hitting-the-high-points-crush-it
Gees, I just typed a huge comment and when I hit the post button I got a page that just came up blank??? Please tell me that post got posted? I do NOT want to write that out again…lol. I don’t know what happened…anyone?
Your passion is inspirational. Your straightforward demeanor is unique. You embody the definition of “entrepreneur” throughout your journey with this wine business and especially of your foresight of social marketing. your tips are invaluable and I have applied everyone of them. For that I thank you.
Thankyou for the great information – I had fun reading it! I always enjoy this blog.
I wouldn’t mind having this to put on my MP3 player …
Where is the beginning sample from? the one starting from 0.04 lasting till it melds with deeper and deeper. i’ve heard it somewhere but i cant remember! and its killing me!!! could someone help? …
I totally am in awe of this site!!! totally gonna need to add this to the list.
I heard that he that he wanted do a Coronation Street appearence! lmao. do you know if this is true? There’s a part of me that kind of hopes this is true lol.

Kudos for creating such a useful site. Your site happens to be not only useful but also very creative too. We find a limited number of experts who are capable of write not so easy stuff that creatively. I look for content regarding a topic like this. I searched through many websites to acquire knowledge regarding this. Keep up the good work !!
Thank you so much, Great information… You keep writing and I’ll keep reading.
Loved your book. Lots of great lessons packed into a quick read. I’ve had a blog for 2 years but have not maximized it and your book inspired me to jump back into the deep end and market my personal brand with gusto. Fortunately I love what I do for a living so I’m not looking to monetize my brand but rather just build it out given the all digital future of business. Now I just need to overhaul my blog design since it is painfully bad.
I wrote a short review at http://toddebert.typepad.com/bad_marketing/2010/01/ignore-everybody-and-crush-it.html
Thanks for sharing your passion and keep on Crushing It.
This is the first time I’ve ever visited your website and I think the information here is simply awesome!
Crush It! Why now is the time to cash in on your passion
Start living the life you want now! See my blog post…

Great work! Those dudes at your competition (you know who) don’t even have a clue! Let me know if you would like help! Thanks!
I do believe the amount of sites that make an effort to “grow their supporter base by communication” is actually increasing. Many individuals jumped into building web pages and posting without realizing the importance of creating a connection with their visitors. Like you’ve here, congrats.
Maybe you have ever considered having much more video clips to your weblog posts that will help keep on the readers even more ideas? I mean I truly read along the entire post created by yours and also that ended up fairly quality but due to the fact that I
Hi how are you i really liked this.
