 Great Motivational Tool November 19, 2009

This book was very enthusiastic and made me want to jump right up and get started with my internet branding. Had lots of great pointers!
 Exactly what the nation needs November 18, 2009

I'm tired of hearing that the world is collapsing because the economy is failing because people aren't spending money because because because... Lets stop that cycle - look inside, instead of at the outer circumstances we face, and evaluate how each one of us can be our best business person. This book inspires one to look critically at what you have to offer, how you can use it and most importantly, is that what you want to do?
This is a fabulous book even if you have no intention of going into business. I love that it makes you really look at who you are being - what do you bring to the table.
My favorite all time quote is "Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you." by Nelson Mandela This book totally speaks that idea.
Cuts through the crap and gets to the good stuff November 18, 2009
J. Thomas
I highly recommend purchasing Gary's book if you're someone who actually cares about building their personal brand and following your passion. If you're not...if you're someone who loves the 9-5 and working in middle management and plays Call of Duty for 3 hours once you get home, then this isn't for you. I warn you actually...if you don't have the hustle to live your passion, then this book will depress you. Why? Because this book tells you exactly what you need to know to build a business around YOU and what YOU care about.
The book itself is a short read. Took me about 2 hours. While short, it doesn't lack anything. Many books fill over 200 pages (this has 142) with fluff, failing to deliver on whatever the tagline of their book was. Crush It cuts through the crap and gets right into the good stuff. Every page is important. Not only that, but he clearly lays out (with a step-by-step list in the appendix) of what you need to do to start cashing in on your passion.
Please note that even though the book is lean and mean, he doesn't give you a "simple/easy" path to riches. He clearly explains that it takes blood, sweat, and tears to truly Crush It. If you're looking for an easy way out of the 9-5, then again, this book is NOT for you.
If you're truly ready to Crush It, I highly recommend.

Hate your current job? Crush It is here to rescue you! November 18, 2009

Seriously, if you are tired of not enjoying what you do for a living, stop reading this and buy Crush It right now!
There is ABSOLUTELY no reason for anyone work somewhere they hate these days with all of the possibilities the Internet and sites like Twitter and Facebook offer.
This book isn't just about enjoying what you do for a living. It's about enjoying life and making the most out of it. You only live once, after all. Gary shows you how to get out of your current situation and start enjoying life.
This is an honest book. Very honest. It doesn't lie to you and tell you it's easy. It doesn't tell you that it will happen overnight. It does, however, show you that yes it is possible (guaranteed even...if you care about it enough) to make a living doing what you enjoy most and yes, YOU can do it with enough passion and patience.
Buy it for yourself. Read it. I guarantee you'll want to buy it for everybody you care about.

Gary's book provides a great road map for those just starting out in online business and provides motivation for those of us who continue to toil in the trenches. Quick read, but full of information. I love that there isn't 200 extra pages of filler.
