Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter

Product Information

I am not a huge 50 fan, by any means. I think he’s problematic but he’s very much a part of the culture. He’s one of the founding fathers of modern-day hip hop and continues to push the envelope as a creator. Cent is a man known for his persistent rise to icon status. Breaking into to the hip hop scene after accumulating a grassroots following in the early 2000s. His unorthodox grind—using the mixtape circuit—led to him catching the attention of Eminem, and the rest is history. We know 50 for being an outspoken and sometimes aggressive force in hip hop, but in his self-help book Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter, 50 Cent reveals a humble side of him that the world may have never been exposed to before.

Hustle harder, hustle smarter” was a bit more personal where 50 Cent mixed anecdotes with lessons from both his life on the streets, a superstar rapper and entrepreneur. Those 3 perspectives give this book a certain edge. When people don’t respond to what you give them, they’re telling you they’ve moved on, loud and clear. If you don’t hear them, then you’re just not listening.” he wrote. “If one generation knew me as a rapper, there’s going to be another that knows me as a TV mogul. But only because I was willing to change with the times and audience.” While Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter has practical information for any audience, there’s no doubt that fans of 50 Cent himself will get a lot out of this too. The memoir side of the book over delivers. Ford “there is joy in work. There is no happiness except the realization that we have accomplished something Age isn't about what year you were born it's about it's about how you approach the year you're in right nowThere’s no happily ever after. No matter how many records I sell, cases of liquor I move, and hit TV shows I create and executive-produce, there’s never going to be a moment where I say ‘Okay, this is the end of the road. I’ve finally made it.’ and then take my foot off the pedal.” s previous memoir— From Pieces to Weight—highlighted his life from birth all the way up to him signing a record deal with Eminem and Dr. Dre.

From why the G-unit music group split up, to conversations he’s had with Robert De Niro, to his 2007 sales battle with Kanye West, and to why he left Interscope records and hasn’t been as focused on music for the past 10 years. He also shares how his hit Starz TV show, Power, came about. Am besten ein Freund, doch lieber ein Feind als gar nicht auffallen. Wer auffallen will, sollte polarisieren. Führe Buch über deine Konkurrenz, um Schwächen und Stärken herauszufinden. Es sollte nicht dein Ziel sein Konflikte oder Wettbewerbe zu suchen aber es sollte ebenso kein Problem sein dich auf welche einzulassen, wenn sie kommen.

My hope is to see him come full circle in stepping into the full power he has acquired in business within his broken personal relationships. It would be a true demonstration of actualizing acquired knowledge only time can tell. Anywho... there is a lot of truth and tools on this man's tool belt and it would be nice to see more of this side of Curtis. I look forward to his next projects... Lord knows I can't wait for Power Book II !! WHEW!!

Now imagine surviving it, going through the therapy to recover, and feeling the intense pain of every wound for an extended period of time.He also humorously describes keeping his sobriety low-key in the VIP where, after pouring drinks for everyone there, he has one of his people fill the bottle with ginger ale. “Being able to hang out still is an advantage for me,” he adds.

Chapter 7: If We Can’t Be Friends - we only bring up things we love or hate —> being neutral garners no attention (turn hate into something positive), move off strategy and calculation , the better your opponent —> the better you become, study your opponents rigorously and write down their strengths and weaknessesIt’s a level of self-awareness and honesty that many hip hop artists wouldn’t show in public. 50 even opens up about his damaged relationship with his first son and his son’s mother. A topic that can’t have been easy to write about. Honda quote- many people dream of success. To me, success can be achieved only through repeated failure and introspection

Everyone seems to love each other in the beginning. That handshake agreement you’re about to take feels firm right now.

It is still an excellent book with tips on how to hustle and move forward in life.
