What we are talking about

I have been staring at the site for few days now and not quite sure how to start. I know that this will not be a site of candy coated, feel good slogans. This is a serious site full of focused and targeted information for people who need a better life.

Yes, NEED.

Having grown up with very little, I am tired of people telling me and those around me that a positive attitude is all it takes to make it in the world. Well I am POSITIVE that doesn’t work for everyone.

My favorite advice is “Find a millionaire and do what they do!” How does this help the person when meeting a millionaire is as likely as meeting a space alien? What if the millionaire in question made their money in newspaper publishing? Are you then supposed to go and start a newspaper? This is crap advice from someone who obviously never met poverty face-to-face.

What seems to be missing out there are realĀ  people who have seen real poverty and made their way out. These are the trailblazers that have made a path for anyone to follow. They have shown that you can make something using only what is at the end of your arms and what is between your ears. Yes, you can make your wealth with hard work and a solid hustle.

I hope you join us on this journey. You will hear stories about my life and the lives of close friends and acquaintances. You will get a little wisdom that has been passed down to me from those older and wiser.

Mostly, you will learn the art of the hustle from true Hustlers
