Have you ever noticed the negative stigma that is sometimes associated with the title “Hustler” within our society?
Usually when most people hear this word their mind automatically thinks about a guy in the park after dark with 45 stolen Rolex watches underneath his jacket, or maybe even a drug dealer, booster, thief or at least something along these lines.
However a hustler in my opinion is everybody right here at this network! Sure entrepreneurship offers the opportunity for unlimited income, financial freedom, a lifestyle that one dreams of and possibly even fame equivalent to celebrity status!
However is this really the lifestyle of the average start-up entrepreneur who is young, fighting against the odds, working from a home office, trying to acquire financing, constantly pitching ideas to companies and investors, trying to overcome their constant discomforts and fears, fighting with friends and family who want them to pursue a different career path, up all night and back up early in morning.
Doesn’t sound like glamour and glitz to me! As a young and hungry entrepreneur you have to find that hustle from within and use it to propel you towards your goals. Everyday when you wake up out of bed, you have to constantly hustle and fight against the grain.
You have to hustle with your marketing campaigns, you have to hustle with your networking efforts, you have to hustle to make sales, hustle to make contacts, hustle to get your name out, hustle to fight against the big name companies, hustle to pay the bills, hustle, hustle, hustle and hustle some more.
Just remember that Trump wasn’t always a big timer, he had to hustle to earn the respect he receives when you mention his name. Bill Gates didn’t wake up with Billions under his pillow, and he had to hustle to make his “stupid little idea” into a world dominating company!
Going back to the great article that David wrote earlier this week on Wednesday entitled, “It’s So Easy to Give Up,” you better know that Chris Gardner was a hustler!
Anybody who sleeps on the streets at night and continues to fight his way up the ladder in the financial services industry, only to end up owning a multi-million dollar firm most definitely is a hustler!
Discover the hustler that lies within yourself and embrace it as a positive; it could be that extra link that will help your business eventually break through in a major way!
