While I appreciated the brevity of the book, it did come off as though he was trying to get you to read his 2009 book, Crush It. Which, is a bit weird. Some of the information in the book is out of date now, specifically the chapter focused on Musicaly and the chapter on Voice First seemed out of place.

It goes like this: and then read his book Crush It! and his life changed of course. Brian Wampler even said: “I probably owe my marriage to this idea. " (from the book, yes?).To overcome these anxieties, Gary advised starting with the right intention. Why do you want to be an entrepreneur?

Creating your personal brand opens countless channels you can use to talk about any topic that inspires you – while you get paid for it. But it won’t come easily. First you must identify and use your skills. Making lots of money requires working nonstop.
