I always been an entrepreneur.
I always been a hustler.
But I realized one thing, if you hustle with no knowledge, you just always going to hustle.
Being a hustler is good.
But if all you got is to keep hustling without being able to reciprocate the ROI of hustling,
you just hustling the hustle.
And that don't feel good because you look up 10, 20 years later and you're like, yeah, man, I've been hustling for a long time.
And then just like you said, where's the pinnacle?
What do you have to show?
Where did you get to in that career?
And the only way you could do that is if you learn the business of anything you're doing.
When people say they're a hustler, you're not saying that's good, but are you learning your hustle?
Did you master your craft?
Did you become an expert in it?
Because if you didn't, you're just a hustler that's a hobby.
You're a hobby hustler.
That's the new one.
You're a hobby hustler.
That's what that is.
And I didn't want to be that.
