I picked up The Thank You Economy by Gary Vanerchuck on Friday afternoon and had it finished last night. It was just another book I just could not put down. Gary is very authentic and real and that is what draws me to his books and anything he posts online. Here is a list of the main take away points from the book.
All this seems like DUH! but there are so many companies out there that are not doing it. I can proudly say that I work for a company that can answer yes to almost every point on that list. That company is Cherwell Software. Vance, Tim and Arlen started the company from the ground up. Doing what is right for the customer and actively listening to what the customer wants and making a product that suits there needs. How can they do this? They did not seek venture capitalist money to get the company going. So they only answer to customers!! Cherwell also really cares about there employees. No one is micro managed and everyone gets there job done plus some. The attitude is this is a work place that you will stay at until your retire.
As I start up my small side ventures I am taking in all this information from Gary and also the culture at Cherwell. I am good at computer and customer service so I have started up Peak View Computers. I also have decided that when I do retire that I would be a mechanic. So why not start planning for retirement now. I am also starting up Vdubs and Jeeps. As that last point states “Do not be afraid to crawl before you run”, I am starting Vdubs and Jeeps at a crawl. Right now I have seven books on my desk on the history of Jeeps and the Volkswagen bug. I would call it building the foundation so I can engage with my customers and speak there language when the time comes.
Thank you for reading my post. If you have any comments or questions or just want to say hi, please feel free to do so.

I do like to read but only when the subject relates to my passion in life. Growing up I had to read books because that was the assignment and some report was due about the book. Even in college I had to take classes that really did not pertain to anything I was interested in and I was stuck reading material that put me to sleep.
I also would not consider myself a fast reader. However, tonight in the matter of two hours, I read a 142 page book. The book is by Gary Vaynerchuk and is called CRUSH IT! The book talks about how to use the Internet to capture an audience and communicate to them using Twitter, Facebook, Blogs and the countless other platforms that are available. But how did I get through the book so fast? It is because Gary talks about passion, caring and being very real.
I have read other books about using the Internet to capture an audience, but they are just preaching there ideas and this is the way you should do it. Sure Gary gives some very specific steps on what you should do, but he stresses that his answer is not the only answer. He is just giving you a push in a direction and showing you what tools worked for him and helped him build his personal brand.
If you have read the book what do you think?
