Crush It!: Why Now Is the Time to Cash in on Your Passion

Author Gary Vaynerchuk is a 33-year-old entrepreneur who grew his family wine business from $4 million to $60 million in five years. Crush It!: Why NOW Is the Time to Cash In on Your Passion shows readers how to find their passion, then step by step how to turn it into a flourishing, monetized business.

Thanks to his pioneering, multi-faceted approach to personal branding and business, Vaynerchuk has built his family's local wine business into a national industry leader. He's rapidly leveraged social media tools such as Twitter and Facebook to promote Wine Library TV, his video blog about wine. As his viewership swells to over 80,000 a day, and the wine business grows to over $60 million a year, he's begun making national TV appearances including the Today Show, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Ellen, and others, consulting for Fortune 100 companies, and giving keynote speeches around the world. Gary's dual identity as both business guru and wine guy has made him the "Social Media Sommelier."
