Brent Hathaway…in my own words

I read a really good book recently, and thought I would mention it. It is called Crush It, written by Gary Vaynerchuck. 

It is a really good read at approx 170 pages, and basically it was a “Here’s how I increased business by 10x by creating a personal brand, using blogging and social media.”    The author has close to a million followers on Twitter, and over a hundred thousand fans on his facebook fan page.  Based on that alone, it peaked my interest.  I went out and bought it at Chapters for $25.99, although it can be found on Amazon for less.

I read it in the span of two days, and I thought it was filled with great nuggets, as well as free tools and sites that worked for him. Sometimes it takes someone connecting the dots like this. There are ways I hadn’t thought of that can make all the difference in the world.  It gave me excellent ideas on some things, and it made an immediate difference.

If you are looking at building a personal brand, increasing your sales, blogging, or using social media at a corporate level (or individual level) – be sure to check it out.
