About this audiobook

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.

Ratings and reviews

Got thru the whole book with ease . The man is not really someone who I agree with on a personal level but if your are looking for a business info book there’s some basic information here. It’s hard for me to fully take advice form a man as a man myself 50 cent is a man that disowns their biological son 22 and is ok with that not to mention a man that is ok with being involved with a girl 24 who is the same age as the child you disown .and 50 cent is ok with that publicly not to mention the chime in on JAY-Z , Lloyd , Kanye and his closest associates Tony . In my opinion he wants to not make up with the son because it’s weird enough that his girlfriend is the same age What kind of introduction will that be . Lots of things to look at here everyone the vision board is an example of some psychological issues with a 44 year old . As well as the defaming of people In a book who you should have tried to make amends with .

Good entertaining and decently informative book. Run towards the fear is the main thing that stuck with me. but it's only 9 chapters long! I was surprised that it ended that soon.

Let’s give the guy credit he at-least said I’m going to wait till the women are 18.” hint wait till 18 “. I’m joking it’s a joke .it’s just as disgusting what he does I agree .But aside from the personal of the “Curtis Jackson “ the book was not my fave.—- this did took words out my mouth
