The SXSW hustle

At the party, my YearInPrint team-mate Bart Jellema and I decided that we could hustle a few more sign-ups to our business out of the buspreneurs in attendance, so we pulled out the laptops and got to work. During hustling, Bart approached Scoble who, during he didn’t sign up, let Bart know it is a great idea and should be pursued.

The lesson to learn from this story is to always be hustling. Often, as in our case, hustling gives you moreover opportunity to grow and it is never too early or too late to get traction or grow revenue or your database.
