Title : Crushing It! 
How Great Entrepreneurs Build Their Business and Influence- And How You Can, Too.
Author : Gary Vaynerchuck

Genre : Self Development, Entrepreneurs

Sometimes, dying in the routine or caught up yourself doing nothing matter is really frustrating, when you find yourself have no idea what you are gonna do next, how you want something, but dont have enough motivation to do it.  Because we are doing the everyday-life and just keep it without thinking anything.  And this is just the book you need.

At first, i know Gary from the instagram that people just talk about how great he are, then i open his instagram, watching his youtube and listen to his podcast.  Damn, yesss he is that good. lol.

The interesting point of his view, i think is about how he is telling the truth, about our circumstances now and not complaining about it, how he changes the perspective that tell you - you are consumed by the social media- things.  Cause YES! people are consumed by the social media now, when most motivators/articles said you should close the social media and be there in the present, he said NO. Just make a great content, create your truly self and persona out there so people can know more about you.  When most of the article said that you should separate yourself from the professional things and the personal things, he said, NO. These days, is the era of mostly people are in the social media, you cant hide yourself out there, there is no way people can be untouchable of their personal self.  Its just will make it harder.  And people can know if the persona you put in the social media is a faker or not- it will have no use if you just lying about who you are, looking so professional just for the idea about you want to be someone else, even when its not.  When some people said it will be great to focus and do one thing a moment, he said just DO BOTH all you passionate about.When you really like it, and want to do it, you will make time for everything you want of.  

Then in this book he mostly tell us about the effectiveness of social media, about how we under-appreciated the idea of - FREE platform (especially when the media sometimes tell us that we give too much data to that platform, he said that, its okay if people use your data, they just can give you ad, but its your FAULT if you eat the shit they give, lol), that we can use it too, make the benefit by put the great content or use the add to raising awareness about what we want to sell.  Hustling long enough so you can know about your craft, be the BEST person at the market, be unique so you can be the one people looking for the spesific-unique-things.  And be patience to just not expect for one big miracle to happen, keep the hustle, have a strategy, do many things you like and be good about it.

Beside the great book that have a good and briliant idea, Gary also have a routine/daily content he share for free! Thats exactly i need for my daily-basis-motivation for keep my self on fire to hustling and doing my things.  Well, its one of the mindset-changing book/content i read this year.  I hope i will practice and absorb it immediately and gonna keep me faster on the track for my next goals and dream! love it!
