Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter

by Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson

I’ve accepted that the punches are going to come in life, and some of them are going to land. But I’m always going to survive and keep fighting for the things I want. That has to be your attitude, too.

If you don’t have the right people around you and you’re moving at a million miles an hour, you can lose yourself.

Know your worth. Then add tax.

You cannot, under any circumstances, compromise when it’s your vision on the line. You have to be prepared to go against popular opinion and turn down money—even if it jeopardizes your relationships—until you’re confident you’ve found the right opportunity.
