The Definition of Hustle - Hustle Con 2015

About this video

Sam Parr and Shaan Puri explore various definitions and interpretations of what ‘hustling’ means, drawing on their own experiences and philosophy. Rather than breaking rules unethically, they frame hustling as creative problem-solving, relentless pursuit of goals, resilience through obstacles, and the ability to inspire others around a vision using limited resources.

Key takeaways

• Sam defines hustling as finding the goal and rules, then ethically thinking outside the box to reach objectives using available resources and creativity—not cutting corners or being scammy
• Hustling requires resilience: repeatedly hitting brick walls, diagnosing what went wrong, fixing it, and moving forward to the next challenge
• True hustling involves passion, belief in yourself, the ability to inspire others to buy into your vision, and the refusal to quit despite rejection or criticism
