Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter

By: Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson

Narrated by: Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson

For the first time, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson opens up about his amazing comeback—from tragic personal loss to thriving businessman and cable’s highest-paid executive—in this unique self-help guide, his first since his blockbuster New York Times bestseller The 50th Law.

In his early twenties Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin’s family. The series quickly became “appointment” television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network—the most lucrative deal in premium cable history.

Now, in his most personal book, Jackson shakes up the self-help category with his unique, cutting-edge lessons and hard-earned advice on embracing change. Where The 50th Law tells readers “fear nothing and you shall succeed,” Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter builds on this message, combining it with Jackson’s street smarts and hard-learned corporate savvy to help readers successfully achieve their own comeback—and to learn to flow with the changes that disrupt their own lives.

An Amazing Book!

Growing up, I was a huge fan of 50 Cent's and G-unit's music. During the process of growing up from a young teenager to the adult that I am today, I've noticed that this man NEVER takes a break. It's inspiring. It motivates me to push harder and go past the limit. He went from music, movies/acting, clothing line, and the list goes on. Now, a book! Reading this has opened my eyes on many things as I'm very sure it'll do the same to other readers. I enjoyed hearing about his personal life as well and touched on the things that's never been mentioned publicly. I hope he continues to do well and to continuously inspire and motivate! This is a great read and don't miss out on it!

Strategic & Smart Dude

Truthfully, not a fan of many of Curtis' actions with reference to how he puts people's business out in social media, but after getting insight to his mindset, I still don't like it but I understand.

I really wasn't expecting to enjoy this book as much as I did....but it's extremely intriguing and I now have a lot of respect for how strategic and smart this guy is.

Very insightful. This a a very interesting view from the top, from some who has been successfully getting there over and over.

Eye Opening

I usually avoid literature related to gang culture or its actors (rich and famous or otherwise). I have a new viewpoint and respect for Curtis’ trajectory and I applaud his current and future philanthropic endeavors.
