The book I’ve discovered– Crush It: Why NOW Is the Time to Cash in on Your Passion by Gary Vaynerchuk– offers some pretty simple, straightforward advice about how to get what you really want out of life.

You might think it’s kinda weird or geeky, but I have a different viewpoint. I consider this quirk to be my core genius.
Yes, my core genius.
You’re going to be really busy today.
Some people strive to make each day count. You’re a little different. In fact, your goal is to make today the worst day ever. Good thing you have 29 ways to make this happen.
You’ve got a lot of work to do, so let’s get started….
Forget Dr. Phil. Screw Tony Robbins. And don’t listen to Oprah.
The smartest person out there is Homer Simpson. After 20 years, this self-help guru is still going strong with his words of wisdom.
Don’t believe me?
One of the main topics I’ll be covering on this site is Lifestyle Design. So what is it? In his book The 4-Hour Workweek, Tim Ferriss describes lifestyle design as a way to structure your life so you enjoy it right now instead of waiting till retirement.
Tim discussed how there’s a lot of misinformation about wealth. His ideas challenge the premise that you need millions in the bank before you get to fulfill your dreams.
