What is Crush It by Gary Vaynerchuk About?
Gary Vaynerchuk has three rules that he lives by:
- Love your family.
- Work super hard.
- Live your passion.
He measures his success by how happy he is. How happy are you? Yes, we are going through a world crisis, but are there moments in the day when you realize that you’re feeling happy? There’s always hope in the midst of despair.
Are you happy in the job you’re doing? If you got laid off, were you happy in the job? Could this be the perfect time to switch? When you’re happy in the work you do, you’re pumped to get up in the mornings. Time flies for you and you never feel like you need a break because the work energizes you.
Vaynerchuk advises us to pay attention to where people go because money goes where people go. All of us have hurdles to jump over in life. But social media is the equalizer. Channel your passion into a blog. People appreciate great content. Tell your story. In the midst of this world crisis, you have an unbelievable opportunity. Use the extra time to reinvent yourself. Have the courage to get into the game and don’t place barriers in front of yourself. When you do what you love, you achieve professional happiness.
Become focused and give stellar customer service if you currently own a business. There is room for everyone to operate successfully. Put your dreams and plays into action. Implement your plan and adjust as necessary.
According to Vaynerchuk, skills are cheap, passion is priceless. Can’t say that I agree with him completely though because skills are very important. Passion is contagious. Live every day passionately. Navigate social media tools to share your passion. If you use it the right way, you can achieve success. Another sound bite is success is DNA. Believe in yourself. You have a unique DNA and you’re capable of taking your business and career to the next level.
To succeed, especially on social media, you need to be a people person. Never settle in life. Don’t work a job you hate. Experiencing hardships shape us. You have an opportunity in these trying times. Scarcity breathes desire. People want to be told what is valuable. Authenticity is the word. Know what you’re talking about. Opportunity lies within transparency.
If you have a blog, be yourself. Platforms are everything. Don’t sit on information, share it. Become a trusted advisor. A blog communicates your brand. Your brand is unique and interesting. Know your DNA. Create and push out great content. Social media is word of mouth on steroids. Additionally be a multidimensional person. Everyone has many roles he or she plays in life. As mentioned before, know what you talk and write about. And have call to action buttons on your blog.
Passion + Expertise = Great Content.
Absorb the resources you have access to — books, virtual conferences, workshops, TEDTalks and so on. Tell a story. Talk about the things you find interesting. The best communicator wins. You can monetize any niche. Choose the medium carefully. And choose the right topic. Talk about a topic that enables you to shine. Create content and post it. Look for opportunities to insert yourself into conversations taking place online. Add value. LinkedIn is a great place to do add value and insert yourself into conversations.
