Crush It!

Gary Vaynerchuk's "Crush It!" makes for a fast and easy read.

I read the book a couple of months ago over a couple of days, as I'd seen someone interviewing the author and it piqued my interest.

Vaynerchuk will never win a Nobel prize for literature, but his "voice" is genuine and full of energy.

Vaynerchuk rose to fame with his online TV show - Wine Library TV and in this book he talks about "cashing in on your passion".

Whether you're already running a business or thinking of starting one, "Crush It!" will probably give you some encouragement and ideas of how you can share your passion with others and make more money while doing it.

Vaynerchuk isn't a social media wannabe guru. He's actually built a real business using social media marketing. He's not a consultant trying to sell you his ideas - he's simply sharing his own experiences and passions, which makes it a lot more interesting and genuine.

Well worth reading.
