Whats A Hustler?

Ian Fernando beat me to the punch on this post but I’m writing it anyway.

Ian, Wayne & I got together in NYC last night for one of our meetups.  A topic came up that I had actually been meaning to write about for a while now and haven’t got around to write.

What Is A Hustler?

This question comes up often since my name is after all Ad Hustler.  People ask me why I would want to be associated with such a negative term.  I’ve been told that creating the business name Ad Hustler was the biggest mistake I ever made since people won’t trust me.

Off Topic Rant:

Throughout my life i’ve had a personality trait that some people find very odd.

I honestly don’t care what people think about me.

For real.  A lot of people say that.  I mean it.  I can’t begin to explain how many people have just hated my guts throughout the years.  It doesn’t bother me.  In fact, I embrace the hate.

Back to the topic at hand:  What is a Hustler?

A Hustler is someone who sees opportunity and ACTS ON IT!  People go through life in a fog.  Opportunities are right in front of their faces and they don’t see it.  Even if they do see it, most don’t act on it.  A Hustler is someone who sees this opportunity, can devise a plan, and benefit him or herself from that opportunity.  Hustlers get a bad name and that’s probably because most are pretty dumb and use their hustlin’ for criminal activities.  Not every hustler is bad.  If you don’t trust me because my name is Ad Hustler, so be it, but your missing out on working with someone who knows their stuff.

Look deep inside yourself.  Are you a hustler?  Do you deserve hustler status?  I hope so, because you aren’t going to make it in this industry if you can’t hustle.

Keep Hustlin’
