Entrepreneurs are told,
“It’s all about the hustle.”
Social media is filled with quotes
encouraging you
to hustle and grind.
There are coaches and seminars
whose frenetic sales pitch point you
toward the hustle lifestyle.
If you listen to these voices,
you could come to believe
hustle
is a new virtue,
part of a new
magic formula
for
success.
In the not so distant past,
there was no joy in
being hustled
and
someone who did
was called a
hustler.
Today, it seems hustle
has been completely
divorced
from those connotations
(or at least they have a
separation agreement).
Funny how things change.
Or are we all just being
hustled?
