HUSTLE(D)

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?
