I suppose soy sauce is how the vietnamese would do it, but Gary explains how to use it for your passion, not what society would initially pay for. Its really hard to understand though. ( )

I like Gary and His sassyness. I like his go get it attitude. But I think he is playing it to low when I say you need to be too 10 to go after your dream. There are room for 1000nds of Gary winelords around the world doing about the same thing.

If you are thinking of taking a leap in to your dream business go with this book or his follow-up crushing it, the worst thing that could be happening is doing what you love. ( )

One thing you cannot deny is that Gary Vaynerchuk is a large personality. Whether you like him and his style or not, he has been successful. In his 2009 book, Crush It!: Why NOW Is the Time to Cash In on Your Passion*, Vaynerchuk discussed how he became successful as well as offer a strategy on how others can replicate his success.

He gives you a way to be successful if you work really hard at it. Surprisingly already dated (Flipcam!) I think his style may suit a small number of his readers. ( )

His enthusiasm is admirable and his advice solid, but there's nothing new here, and his unappealing swagger—repeated stories of how he “crushed it” and “dominated” grate particularly—gives his story more the tone of adolescent peacocking than of worthwhile and sober business advice.
