There’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.” It sounds cliché to say that hard work is the most critical ingredient for success, but it’s a fundamental truth that has to be repeated over and over again. If you’re not hustling your absolute hardest, you’re never going to reach your full potential in life.” 50 Cent Imagine getting shot nine times. Now imagine surviving it, going through the therapy to recover, and feeling the intense pain of every wound for an extended period of time. His idea of hiding his street persona because he loved he grandma is not logical- if he really loved his grandma he wouldn’t lie to her

Besides gaining the skills you need to overcome your fear, preparation also gives you confidence. It doesn’t completely remove your fear, but it does bring you peace. That peace is rooted in the knowledge that you’ve done everything you can. A study by Dominican University found your 42 times more likely to achieve your goals if you write them down These days internships seem to get a bad rap. Many young people complain internship as exploitative. Some even want to make unpaid internships illegal. Hard work and dedication are two of the characteristics found in all true hustlers. Another is focus. Because if you’re not able to focus and direct your hard work, you might be hustlin’ hard, but you won’t be hustlin’ smart.” 50 Cent Insgesamt ein gutes Buch, welches ich auf jeden Fall empfehlen kann. Es ist ein sehr inspirierendes Buch einer polarisierenden Persönlichkeit, die im großen Ganzen aber doch deutlich ehrlicher und verletzlicher ist, als man erwarten könnte. Auch wenn man vielleicht mit Hip-Hop nicht so viel anfangen kann, ist das Buch trotzdem absolut lesenswert, da man auch mal eine andere Sichtweise auf die Dinge bekommt.If you frequently veer into the stairwell because you see an intimidating boss stepping into the elevator, you’re avoiding fear. Not going to an audition, saying no to an invitation that could help you network, not raising your hand in class when you have the answer –these are all examples of avoiding fear. 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!!

Wenn man einen Haufen Wölfe in seinen Kreis holt, sollte man sich darum kümmern, dass sie gefüttert sind." Man sollte auf langfristige Erträge aus sein. Nimm deswegen nicht die erstbeste Gelegenheit, sondern die beste. Bei Verhandlungen verliert immer der, der etwas Bestimmtes mehr will und weniger flexibel ist. Man sollte in Verhandlungen immer dafür kämpfen sich nicht unter Wert zu verkaufen, aber nicht beleidigt sein, dass man überhaupt kämpfen musste. Man sollte einfach anfangen; sog. "Gatekeeper" (Menschen oder Institutionen, die dich von Ressourcen abhalten, also bspw. früher ein Musikstudio) gibt es immer weniger (Bsp. heute kann man einfach am Computer einen Song aufnehmen und auf YouTube veröffentlichen). Praktika (damit sind auch Dinge gemeint, die eigentlich nicht als Praktikum bezeichnet werden können), wo Erfahrung gesammelt werden kann, sind unbezahlbar.When I get in I’m already feeling fully in control, energized, and mentally prepared. It’s the only way to show up at the office if you want to make things happen.” 50 Cent When you pattern yourself too closely after another person, you’re putting weak, ineffectual energy out into the world. You’re running away from your most inexhaustible power supply: being yourself.” 50 Cent 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. Chapter 6: Power of Perception- control the energy in the room —> easier to set the agenda (subconsciously more agreeable towards you/receptive), when you are around people and everyone is trying to be heard, the secret is to speak as softly as possible (low voice —> transferring of energy), the more quietly you speak, the more intently people will listen, use non verbal cues to your advantage (don’t react with your body language but stay engaged/listening —> high level executives look for non verbal cues —> throw them off guard), act like you don’t need it strategy
