Crush It! Book Review: Bathroom Reader 2.0

I’ve actually been able to read quite a few books lately. I’m trying to alternate between reading for entertainment and reading for education. Right now I’m just wrapping up Gary Vaynerchuk’s Crush It!: Why Now Is The Time To Cash In On Your Passion.

It’s a short read, but as Gary likes to say, there’s no fluff. He’s right. Each of the nuggets are pretty short but definitely inspiring. I feel like I’m already on the path that Gary describes in the book, but I’ve definitely got a ways to go before I consider myself a success. Crush It! definitely opened my eyes to some of the things I could be doing to speed my business growth process along.

I have to admit though, I read most of it while in the bathroom. The short chapters are perfect for this. 5-10 minutes per chapter and your done. For some reason I don’t think Gary would care.

I read the hardcover version of Crush It! but one thing I still might check out is the Vook for Crush It!. According to their website a Vook is:

“…a new innovation in reading that blends a well-written book, high-quality video and the power of the Internet into a single, complete story.

You can read your book, watch videos that enhance the story and connect with authors and your friends through social media all on one screen, without switching between platforms.

Vooks are available in two formats: As a web-based application you can read on your computer and a mobile application for reading on the go. With the web-based application you don’t have to download programs or install software. Just open your favorite browser and start reading and watching in an exciting new way. You can also download and install the mobile applications through the Apple iTunes store and sync them with your Apple mobile device.”

The video content with Gary looks great (you can see a preview here) and the price has come down quite a bit since I first checked it out (now $6.99…it was $11.99) so it seems like a great deal.

But no matter what format you prefer, check out Crush It! and get ready to be inspired and motivated to take those next steps in getting your business up and running.
