Hustle

Come across this post by Jason Calacanis via smallbusinessbranding

The older I get the more I realize that business is about three very basic things:

1. Hustle
2. Passion
3. Resiliency

You have those things it really doesn’t matter what the idea is…

This does not sit all that comfortable with me. If by ‘hustle’ Jason means “Energetic activity; drive”, then OK, I wholeheartedly agree. On the other hand, hustle can also mean …

1. To sell or get by questionable or aggressive means: hustled stolen watches; hustling spare change.
2. To pressure into buying or doing something: a barfly hustling the other customers for drinks.
3. To misrepresent one’s skill in (a game or activity) in order to deceive someone, especially in gambling: hustle pool.

I’ve have experienced this first hand … perception about the lengths one goes to to win business is a fine line!
