A Good Listen!

Don't look to this book for inspiration. It's a great listen though, but only f you already have your idea, or your business set up and ready to go.

I do like that Gary believes you can make a business out of your passion, no matter what it is, but it's 2016 and every man and his dog is starting an online business these days. As opposed to 2009 when the book was written and starting an online business was a road less travelled.

Gary lends his own voice to this version which is great, because he often goes off script and adds extra bits and pieces that readers of the original wouldn't have received.

A bit out dated for 2016, the whole book is geared towards social media sales/marketing and growing your business online. However, when the book was written, Facebook and Twitter were still babies, and apps like Pinterest, Instagram and Snapchat didn't exist.

Gary definitely has some great input, and if you are starting a business he certainly has some great tips. But again, if you aren't sure of what your big idea is, or you haven't got your business ready to launch, most of this book will probably be lost on you.

I'll certainly come back to it and take some of his advice when I'm ready, but for now I'm back to the drawing board.

Amazing book for anyone following their passion in business!

This book makes so much sense! Even though it's a few years old now and some new modes on the net have emerged, everything in this (audio)book is spot on!
I love that Gary took the time to be the narrator of his own book too... So much more energy and so much more authentic. The inspiration and motivation contained in this book - let alone the information- is INVALUABLE!
This book is for anyone who is interested in cultivating their personal brand and/or creating a business cantered around something they are truly passionate about.
This is EXCELLENT!

A lot has changed but most hasn't.

The behaviours and headspace Gary promotes in this book are still hugely relevant in 2017. Full of practical steps and clear thinking, Gary crushes it!

NOT for the arrogant, but when listened with humility and curiosity its a practical blueprint for happiness

Gary can easily come off as hyper arrogant, with a self appointed guru like aura. But like a great many things, a closer inspection reveals it was my own biases and misconceptions about what and who Gary is - not a true depiction of reality.

What I’m impressed by is the core difference between what we’ve been told, which is that “you’re special” vs. what Gary pushes which is “you’re special so do something that sets your DNA on f*cking fire and work hard to build that f*cker up into a blaze”.

This all while peddling hyper important values that can get lost in the hustle or be hustled world.

Be well Gary, and good luck to everyone who takes steps towards crushing life.

With love,
H

12 years later, the sentiment still holds up.

Listening in 2021, some of the platforms or examples are out of date but the themes still hold. It’s crazy how far ahead of the game Gary was for his time.
