About the Book
Curtis 50 Cent Jackson opens up about his amazing comeback--from tragic personal loss to massive success as a thriving businessman and cable's highest-paid executive--in this unique New York Times bestselling self-help guide.
Curtis 50 Cent Jackson rose to the top of the music industry then crashed. People wrote him off. They said he was finished. Yet today, he is more successful than ever.
Presented from two unique perspectives--the edgy street-smart rapper, and the influential businessman--Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter reveals the bedrock principles that propelled Curtis 50 Cent Jackson to make one of the most remarkable second acts in show business history, including creating Power, one of cable television's most popular series.
As Jackson sees it, the streets and the business world are similar. Neither plays fair; both are ultracompetitive and ruthless. Drawing from life lessons he learned from his youth on the dangerous Southside of Queens and his experiences with a seat at (and as head of) the table in corporate America, he enthusiastically shares the rules he lives by--rules that have not only helped him to realize success again, but sustain it. He shows that the strategy behind each action is battle-tested and proven to work.
Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter overflows with make it happen, sensible, and doable advice, and makes clear that no matter what you do or want in life you can achieve your goals with purpose and confidence.
