Book Review: Crush It by Gary Vaynerchuk [5 Stars]

Somebody posted a question in Google + the other day asking if Social Media works for businesses. I watched as hundreds of people chimed in with varying responses. Most people felt that social media would work for other businesses, but not their own.

That's how I used to think.

30 days ago, I decided to get a social media mentor. He doesn't know this, but I cyber stalk Gary Vaynerchuk. He makes it so easy to do. The guy is everywhere on the web.

I've spent every waking moment over the past month learning from him. As I dug through his material, I found several videos, books and more that I could consume. By the way, he has nearly 1 million followers on Twitter, which is a ton for a business guy with his background.
