The Hustle


So as I am shopping at the Prime Outlets in Orlando, I come across one of the smoothest sales people I have ever met.

He had a stand and was pitching his product which happened to be a Shoe Cleaner. At first glance, it is nothing special but then he used the product on my shoes and pitched me truly like no one has.

He wasn't aggressive, he wasn't over the top.. He just was smooth. Must Say, this is truly an Art


I quickly wanted to know the price and wanted to get one. The results of the product were amazing and lets face it ....

I got Sold.

I truly appreciated the hustle! But this brings me to the topic of the post.. His Hustle


So I quickly did the numbers as I was walking...

After some talk he told me it cost him $4000.00/a month to have the stand.

So On a Given Day... 

He is open from 9am- 11pm = 14 hours

So example sake, if he sales 1 an hour @ $30

14 hours x $30 = $420.00

7 days a week = $2940.00

4 weeks in a month = $11760.00

exclude Rent and Overhead = $4000.00 Profit ballpark


So the point is.... 

Get out there and Hustle.. Find what works for you and work hard at it!!
