Nugget - you have to hustle

 

So I went knocking on doors looking for a better way to earn money that delivering newspapers. 

"Any odd jobs Mister." 

I could earn what my mates earned in a week of paper rounds in one customer. I washed cars, weeded gardens, cut lawns, dug trenches. I helped my grandpa on his door to door "pools round". I found a job delivering Yellow Pages and convinced my mum to drive me around while I delivered the books. 

At Christmas I went carol singing for money. 

At Halloween or Guy Fawkes night I would do "penny for the guy". 

And when I did not have jobs to do, I rode my bike to the fairground and spent my day banging machines trying to make the money fall out.  

This is how I learned to be an entrepreneur and how I learned I have to hustle to make money. Opportunities come to those people who hustle - its as simple as that. Put yourself out there and offer to work hard on whatever job you get offered.
