Product Information

Gary explains why that’s even more true today, offering his unique perspective on what has changed and what remains timeless.

Those who have been at this for a while will find useful the little-known nuances, innovative tips, and clever tweaks that have been proven to enhance more common tried-and-true strategies. It’s the kind where an eleven-year-old kid and his dad can become millionaires by creating a YouTube channel where they share online videos of themselves cutting things in half.

If you’re not crushing it, it’s not because you’re too old or poor or have too many other responsibilities. To succeed on a grand scale, you need to work for free, nearly nonstop, and probably for years before any substantial payoff. I'm not rating this book as I have not read it, but I thought I'd leave my thoughts so that the author/publisher can pick a more representative excerpt (I personally like to read the first few pages of a book instead of some random section without any background). For example, while Amy Schmittauer was working to become a lawyer, she created social media marketing videos.

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.

Jennifer’s mum insists that she do things differently, so gone are her jeans, T-shirts, skateboard and short hair. If you are a parent, please give it to your children as they start to imagine what and who they want to be.

The author boils it down to a pretty short list: “What really matters is a pretty short list: intent, authenticity, passion, patience, speed, work, and attention. 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. Stories like that are no longer uncommon, and they illustrate why we need to give our children as much freedom as possible to gravitate toward what they love doing. This is dedicated to all the people who are visionary enough to recognize the enormous opportunities we’ve been given in this new digital age, and who are brave enough to demand and seek out happiness not only in their life but also in their work.
