Product Information

Everyone has a passion for something in their life. There is no limit to the variety of creative pursuits that may be pursued. People nowadays are just too busy to read or watch films when they have time. Because, well, they never do: most of the time they’re doing something else. Perfectly suited for young and aspiring entrepreneurs. Crushing It Summary I: Get Pumped 1: The Path Is All Yours You are better off being wrong ten times and being right three than you are if you try only three times and always get it right.” We have seen a tremendous surge in business, be it of any kind, in the last two decades. With this growth comes the companion-competition. When this is a boon for the economy, it's not the same for a new entrepreneur. The time that a new enterprise takes to reach the break-even point has increased to twice or three the earlier and many quits trying before that.

one thing that did frustrate me is the main advice about how much time and energy needs to be put into being an entrepreneur. I don't mind the idea of hard work for a long time—I have a disability that strictly dictates my sleep schedule, my energy for a given day, etc. I can wear myself out by doing something silly like walking too much one day, and then I'll be in bed unable to do anything for the next day. I firmly believe that I will not be a failure because of my time limits, but accept that they affect my pace. Start with the annoying parts so I can move to the great ones.

Gary argues you will never be genuinely yourself and passionate about what you do if you work for someone else. It isn't easy to establish your own successful brand and eventually monetize it -- it requires countless hours of studying trends, producing content, and engaging with others on the various social media channels. There is no time for leisure. The first months or even years can be hard, so you'll probably only make it through the trough of disillusionment if you are truly passionate about what you are doing. Of course, you may think that you’re not interesting and that you’ve got no video skills whatsoever, but, as we said above, that is beside the point.

First, Gary does a very good job in explaining what each media is for. I think that some of them I really understood better (or for the first time) thanks to him. Speaking of mastering things—there’s apparently one you don’t really need to master. And that one is the eighth thing that matters, the eighth essential: content. Intent” – Don’t fake anything. Don’t try to start a business or build influence if you don’t believe in the business you’ve chosen. Don’t move forward if your goals only or mostly involve making a lot of money. Care more about the good your work does than the money it earns. In other words, Crush It! was one of the very first books to suggest that now was the time to build a strong personal brand and earn money out of your own likes and dislikes—literally.
