  I don’t want to be the next Steve Jobs.

  I don’t want people to say I am the second coming of Bill Gates or Larry Ellison.

  I don’t want my taste of style to make people think I am Johnny Ive 2.0.

  I just want to be the next guy everyone is wanting to be the next of.

  Read “Crush It!” by Gary Vay*ner*chuk

  I am about half way through reading Crush It by Gary Vaynerchuk and I must say that it is a very interesting and motivating book.  It is only about 140 pages but I like books that are around that size because I don’t feel overwhelmed at first and I know I can finish no matter how busy I might be.

  The book is about creating your personal brand by using the Internet.  Now, this isn’t just a book telling you to start a blog or join Twitter.  It is about creating a personal brand regardless of what the platform is , it just so happens that the Internet is the fastest growing and soon to be dominate platform for expressing yourself and creating a brand for yourself.

  I can’t wait to get done reading this book, it has motivated me even more to start my internet company that I have been wanting to start for some time.

  You can get Crush It! online here.
