The 20's version of the mail in campaign After going through and taking a look at the core messages of this book, it isn't something I would recommend for people looking to get real insight to how people tick or even how you tick。 Instead, the book is a social experiment of sorts。 Every call to action has either a hashtag, an email address or a handle to tag。 If it weren't for the fact these call to action moments won't be used for an ad campaign, I'd almost call it a scam。Not worth the money I The 20's version of the mail in campaign After going through and taking a look at the core messages of this book, it isn't something I would recommend for people looking to get real insight to how people tick or even how you tick。 Instead, the book is a social experiment of sorts。 Every call to action has either a hashtag, an email address or a handle to tag。 If it weren't for the fact these call to action moments won't be used for an ad campaign, I'd almost call it a scam。Not worth the money I paid for it, but at least it is good to see the message I consistently get in audio format from GV is the same this time around as well。Skip if you are an introvert or you don't have social media。 You won't find value here。 。。。more
Chris Boutté,
Gary Vee can do no wrong in my eyes。 I have some criticisms of this new book, but they’re extremely subjective, and at the end of the day, this book has a ton of value and will help a lot of people。 I actually didn’t even know Gary had a new book coming out, and when I found out, I immediately asked the publisher for a review copy。 I binged this book in one sitting, and it really helped with the headspace I happened to be in the day I read it。 As someone who was recently laid off after two years Gary Vee can do no wrong in my eyes。 I have some criticisms of this new book, but they’re extremely subjective, and at the end of the day, this book has a ton of value and will help a lot of people。 I actually didn’t even know Gary had a new book coming out, and when I found out, I immediately asked the publisher for a review copy。 I binged this book in one sitting, and it really helped with the headspace I happened to be in the day I read it。 As someone who was recently laid off after two years due to the pandemic and is trying to do the entrepreneur thing again, this book was jam-packed with some good ol’ Gary Vee wisdom and tough love。 The book is short, and it’s an easy read。 Basically, Gary breaks down most of his main principles such as gratitude, empathy, accountability, humility, ambition, and more。 Each chapter teaches and reminds the reader how to persevere through the difficult times while also being compassionate towards others。 If you’re someone who has followed Gary Vee’s work for years, you already know where Gary stands on all of these topics, so it’s repeat information, but Gary knows that, and that’s what I love about him。 Many of us have thick skulls (me included), and we need this information repeated multiple times, and even though I’ve heard him say this stuff a million times, I really needed it again today。 As for my criticisms, they’re minor。 It’s hard to explain, but the structure threw me off a little bit。 The twelve and a half “ingredients” are the first half of the book, and the second half is Gary creating scenarios as though someone was asking him for advice, and he uses the ingredients for the answers。 With the book being so short, I personally would have liked it better if it was 75% - 100% on the ingredients, but it was a cool idea to create the scenarios。 But like I said, that’s just my subjective opinion, and I’d still read this book again just like I have all of his other books。 The book is kind of marketed towards business leaders, but every entrepreneur needs to check this book out and use the tools Gary provides。 。。。more
