Hustle Tip of the Week.: Offended

          Every week I send out a tip of the week and every week I have one or two people that are very offended.  I also notice that they are offended by something that had nothing to do with what I wrote.  Last week a female replied that she works hard and who am I to tell her that she is not hustling.  Now anyone who read the tip knew I wasn’t calling out people who were hustling I was calling out people who say they are and they are not.  Before getting offended by something you read or something someone told you first do this:

 

Pray to God and say “God, is there any truth in these words about me.”

 

No one should be easily angered by words or what you’ve read.  Normally there is some truth to what someone told you or what you’ve read and that’s why you have developed a bit of anger towards what you have read.  You call a dope feen a dope feen and they are ready to tear your head off.  Same thing with us.  This girl told me my ego was too big and I got offended.  Then I got home and realized it was true.  Don’t get mad or easily offended before you figure out if it’s the truth or not.

Hustle Tip of the Week: Everyday

I was actually requested to speak on this from a few people:

Let’s talk about grinding/hustling/working etc.  Personally I call it work, but for the sake of the blog we will call it hustling.  Now I hear people on a daily basis call me and tell me how they are out here hustling.  I’m not here to judge whether they are or not, but allow me to speak on what I noticed.  I noticed that they ass ain’t doin’ shit.  They sleep late go to work go to happy hour and go home and say they gon’ do it tomorrow.  In hustling there is no tomorrow.  Today is all you got to make it happen.  I did an event on Memorial Day with another company Kutsum Ent. titled Sangria and Sundresses (pics are on indmix.com).  I work for myself so pretty much my days are 10 hour days.  After my 10 hour day I would spend an extra 4 on different methods to get people out to the party.  I did everything I could before I went my ass to bed to make sure it was a hot ass party.  Day of the party we did about 250 people.  I gave my 4 hours a day like I said I would do in order to make something happen and I’m not even a promoter.  People called me the day before asking “what do you think your party is gonna do?” or “are you scared?”  Fear wasn’t nowhere in my area cause I know what the hell I did on a daily basis in order to make the party hot.  Now I’m currently in AA to break my addiction to red bull, but party was live as hell.  Your job is to do what you dream of doing or want to do on a daily basis.  I understand shit happens, but it don’t happen that much.  Running errands does not mean that you are hustling; talking about it does not mean that you are hustling.  Honestly, you can always tell when someone is really hustling cause they hustle so damn hard they don’t even wanna talk about it.  I go on a date and ask her a million questions cause I don’t want to talk about what I do.  Make sure if you ever partner with someone that they give daily effort as well and don’t be afraid to hold them accountable and vice versa.  Me and Kutsum Ent. talked everyday in reference to what we did that day and what we planned on doing tomorrow and held each other accountable.  If you work til 5 then your personal grind starts at 5:30 and if you go to the gym then 6:15. After that then take that ass to bed at 10:30 and do it again the next day.  It’s what you do everyday that determines how far you will go.

“Tomorrow never comes cause its always Today.”  Repeat that to yourself until you catch it.

The Ten Women Rules

Rule #1 Be Confident

Confidence is key. I met a girl who was a pretty girl and is the dream of a million men, but because her self-esteem is shot she gets fucked over weekly because she banks on her beauty and her pussy to keep a man yet she is “single” every other week.

 

Rule #2 Stay maintained to be an option

Always look great, whatever your income. It is mandatory to have your hair and nails done as a grown woman…no excuses.  I don’t give a damn if it’s not in the budget.  If you stop eating out then it will be in the budget.  Please don't do it yourself...we can tell. You have the advantage, you are the woman. Look your best as you could meet a potential anywhere at any time.  Funny thing about women is you all aren’t allowed to have bad days in a man’s eyes.  Try and stay in shape and involve some fitness regime at a gym or your home. However much you hate it, he loves your body as much as your mind.  You have to be hot all the time.  When your single you need to look good when you run to the store or going to get gas.  Not saying you have to have on make-up.  I’m just saying if you have to put on a hat because of a bad hair day make sure it’s a cute hat.  If you can’t dress, have bad weave, and your make-up is bad then consult my sister Kimberly Williams kimberlynwilliams@gmail.com or Zakiya Larry zakiya_larry@yahoo.com they are pretty fashion forward and would love to help (Yeah I just threw them under the bus). There is nothing wrong with getting help.

 

Rule #3 Fuck at your own risk

The pussy is all you got.  Every dude that meets you and wants to engage in getting to know you has one thing on his mind…..pussy.  It’s your job to mend the sexual attraction to mental attraction then you lock his ass in.  I’m sure at this point you’re thinking I should have used a better word for it, but that’s the word men have come to love and use. Never ever sleep with a guy until he has fallen for you. Sex early in your dating game plan will ruin everything.  Now if your grown and horny and you just want to fuck then put it in his life, but just know that’s just what it is.  If you don’t have history with him then keep your pussy.  This is the #1 killer of dating. Your friend’s circumstances are not yours. Just because she fucked on the first night and they are still together don't mean that shit will work for you.  Everything is all good til’ sex gets involved.  After sex they start charging you up, stalking your facebook page, sitting outside your house when you get home from the club, and coming to your house drunk late at night with their friends because you didn’t answer your phone.  I’m sorry I had a flashback.

 

Rule #4 Know the signs

If any man shows the slightest signs of possessiveness or insecurity run like the wind. Women refuse to see signs in the beginning because you just so want this dude to be the one.  If he ain’t then dammit he ain’t.  You know he was a little off when you met him.  Everybody you meet will have flaws.  The key is to find someone with flaws you can deal with.  I can deal with a girl that talks a lot, but I cannot deal with a girl that fucks a lot.  And when I say fucks a lot I mean she fucks everybody but me.  That’s a flaw I can’t deal with.

 

Rule #5 Information

Never reveal too much information. An enigmatic woman keeps us thinking. Keep dates brief but your men interested. Less is always more. Never ever talk about previous boyfriends and particularly their prowess in the bedroom. The number of ex boyfriends is your business only.  And DO NOT tell him how many dudes you had sex with or the last dude you had sex with.  Men use that to gauge a timeframe that they think they can hit that ass. Pretty much keep the convo in general.  And keep your drinking to a minimal.  Give ya’ll asses two margaritas and you start telling your life story.  Honestly, he might be nodding and grinning, but he really doesn’t give a damn.

 

Rule  #6 Availability

Never be too available when he wants you to be. Never be at the end of a phone when he calls and always let him leave a message or two first before replying.  Don’t be so damn eager all the time.  Men like to be on the chase for a minute.  We like it when ya’ll act funny.  There is no fun in a game that can be beat easily.  If he stops pursuing then he really isn’t worth pursuing.  Now if the case is you’re scheduling dates and standing him up or just plain bullshittin’ on your end then its your bad and not his.

 

Rule #7 Make him spend

Make him spend money.  Every time he calls you tryin’ to kick it make his ass take you somewhere.  A man’s love is his money and a man’s money is his life.  If he takes you out and his intention is just to fuck then you will know when he stops tryin’ to take you out because he has not gotten a return on the money he spent.  Now if he is genuine he will take you out and not trip because sex is not his motive.  Me personally I like to wait til’ she wants me to have it.  The sex is so much better.  I’m sorry…..that was T.M.I.

 

Rule #8 Game Life

Game has a lifeline. Give it a chance to let the game run out.  Dudes can only try to impress and run game for so long.  After a while his true self shows.  Most of ya’ll fuck before the game runs out so when he show himself your disappointed, but it’s your fault not his.  Most of ya’ll know these dudes are full of shit from jump.  Take responsibility for choosing to be an idiot in hopes of finding love.  This shit ain’t a movie.  Pretty Woman never happened in real life.  Be smart and let the game run out.


Rule #9 Return Policy

Funny thing about men is that we would love to come back around and hit that ass once more for old time sake.  Don't fool with him if he just got out of a relationship. It’s called "Rebound Pussy".  He gon act like he wants to come back around and do right by you.  99.8% of the time he is lying his ass off.  He is emotional and lonely and he wants to be held (Yeah we get weak like that too).  The moment something new comes around he gone again.  Let him take you out and you pledge his ass.  Treat that nigga like he brand new.  He gon leave as easy as you let him back in if you don’t pledge him.  Make sure your fly when ya’ll go out and make sure you get on your phone and cut the date short.  He is gonna assume you left him to see another dude and he ain’t gon sleep right all night.  And if it was one of them 2-7+ year relationships you might as well let it go.  If he don’t love you by now and ain’t tried to marry you that’s because he not.  Don’t waste your time.

 

Rule # 10 Demand he does you a certain way

You can’t allow yourself to get fucked over.  If you don’t hold some kind of standard for yourself then he is gonna set a standard for you and that is never good.  Never call or chase a guy.  And if he says he been busy that’s a bunch of bullshit.  That means your not wassup anymore. Nobody is that busy. Barack Obama has time to love his wife and he is fixing a fucked up economy of a nation. If he doesn't call he is either not interested or interested in somebody else.


 

I’m sure I lost my playa’s card for this one.

Hustle Tip of the Week: The Ten Men Rules

     So I’m at the Skybar one night and I over hear a guy trying to talk to a female and he is bombing terribly.  I would assume that he knew what he was doing then I took into consideration maybe he doesn’t know.  So here are The Ten Men Rules.  Live by these basic rules and you will stand a better chance of meeting and keeping women.  These rules are made by Lewis Williams and have worked for me and have given these rules to other guys that it worked for.  If you don’t have women talking to you or calling you back then it don’t hurt to try.

Rule #1: Always have chap stick, gum, and cologne.  I buy two bottles of whatever cologne I wear. One for house and one for car.  Same goes for gum and chap stick.  And buy real gum like Icebreaker or Extra polar ice gum.  Don’t buy bullshit gum that taste good, but don’t last.  Bad breath is unacceptable for a grown man.  Good colognes are Chrome by Azarro and Lacoste in the green bottle. Haircut once a week.  No nigga not every two weeks…every week.  Gotta stay fresh.

Rule #2: I don’t care how much you had to drink talk to her like she is a woman and keep your cussing down to a minimal.  The “I was drunk” excuse doesn’t work anymore.  You want to maintain a professional attraction.

Rule #3: What the fuck you got on.  If you’re a grown man and you have on High School urban wear then you fuckin’ up majorly.  Had a friend that wore Coogi, LRG, Sean John, etc. and wasn’t gettin’ to the next level with meeting women.  Since we went to the galleria and got him right now better chicks are digging him and he thanks me often and swears by his new style.  If you don’t know what to wear either get a GQ magazine or come shopping with me.  Shit anybody can come with me to shop.  I want to see you boys do better.

Rule #4: Speak to the friend.  If you walk up and speak to the friends first you have a 30 second window to say what you gotta say and capture the audience (her).  Unless you got a good wing man which is hard to find. The purpose of the wing man is to distract the friend til you finish doin’ your thing.  If you see me and we out I’m a good wing man, but I ain’t takin’ one for the team.

Rule #5: If you don’t know what to say then ask her a question and let her talk.  You close a deal with your ears not your mouth.  If you not a smooth talker then stay cool and ask questions.  Let her talk and she will tell you how to date her.  Honestly, she don’t really care about you so only ask about her.  When she starts asking you questions then you’re on the right track.  You actually have a chance then.

Rule #6: Compliment her, but not heavily.  Just once will do.  I told a female “I wish my ass would sit right in a dress like that” She found it hilarious but that type of compliment is risky.  She caught me looking so I had to say something quick.  If she got her cleavage out and you get caught lookin’ just keep it real and say something like.  “Lady you can’t wear that no more cause I can’t stay focused.” Make sure you smile and she will laugh with you.

Rule #7: If your homeboy ain’t player enough to know what to say then leave that nigga at home.  I dress niggas before we leave.  You can have a shirt out of my closet and shoes on my feet if it will help you.  Your homeboys gotta be on the same page with you.  Your clique gotta look approachable.

Rule #8: Only buy her a drink if she is worth pulling.  If she ain’t worth pullin’ then leave her ass where she at.  Don’t get in the business of being a trick at the bar homie.  Then you buyin’ her and her friends drinks and the only numbers you get is the drink bill.

Rule #9: Work-out, Work-out, Work-out.  Why buy nice clothes if you don’t look good in them.  If you don’t look good in your clothes then your chances of getting her are slim.  Maintain a healthy weight and diet regimen so you can be an option.  You can’t walk up on the baddest chick if you ain’t the baddest nigga.  I walk in like not a nigga in the building can top me and what I got on.  Your confidence is higher when you work out and have on new clothes.  Only buy clothes that make you feel alive.  If you don’t feel alive then don’t buy it.

Rule #10: Chill.  Just stay cool.  You can never screw up if you stay cool.  Don’t call her 4 times the next day.  If she ain’t answer the first time she damn sure ain’t gon answer the other 3 times.  Text her to do lunch with you and ask her when she is free and make it happen.  Girls don’t pass up free meals, but DO NOT let her pick a restaurant you ain’t never heard of.  Chances are its high as hell and she ain’t worth eating like that on the first date.  If she meets you with a friend then leave and delete her ass.  She looking for a sponsor and you ain’t got a chance.

Stick with these rules and the game will change for you.

Ladies you ain’t left out.  I got the 10 Women Rules coming.  They lookin’ real serious and I’m sure their enlightening.  It’s not easy, but somebody gotta say somethin’.

          Okay so I know I'm late on this hustle tip of the week, but I got a revelation. I have done an analysis based on people around me, people needing advice, and people who I watch and here is my conclusion. Its not that bad things are happening to good people. Good people are making bad decisions. Sleep on it.

Hustle Tip of the Week: Complaint

          Don’t complain about it if you’re not taking the steps to fix the problem.  Everybody got something to say but no one has taken steps to fix the shit.  It’s easy to complain about something, but since fixing it takes a little work then you would rather complain.  Find the problem, fix the problem, and keep it movin’.  I currently have a situation where a partnership in an already running business is about to die.  We all sit down and realize it’s a hold up at the top.  So me being a straight up guy I take it to the top and tell them it’s a problem on their end.  After an hour and a half of phone conversation we reached a conclusion.  Problem is we ain’t get the revelation until a year and a half later.  Problem was the partners had something to say, but wasn’t doing shit to fix it.  Lets be real, complaining is a pity party for the weak to engage in meaningless put downs of others in order to bring themselves up.  While this party is going on shit ain’t gettin’ done.  Watch out for invites to pity parties.  They bring you down, waste your time, and gives you a negative outlook on situations.  If you have an issue take it to the person, I don’t give a damn who it is.  I challenge everything that don’t add up to me.  Don’t waste your time complaining, it fixes nothing. 

P.S.

Hustle Tip of the Week: Consistency

          Consistency is not comfortable.  Consistency isn’t always your friend.  Consistency gets you out of a warm bed into a day where you have to be ready for rejection, resentment, and ridicule.  Consistency or lack of is why you can’t lose weight.    Consistency is all you got in order to move forward.  Consistency is like the doorman at the club that stops you from getting in.  With anything you try to accomplish the one word any millionaire will tell you is Consistency.  Consistency and I are not friends at all.  Consistency gets boring and tiring.  I tried to make it without Consistency and I failed.  Now that’s my new girlfriend.  She nags and complains, but the sex is good.  Stay at anything and be consistent for 30 days and watch the progress you will incur.

Hustle Tip of the Week: Proposal

          Create a proposal offering a service you know you can provide and send it off to someone who needs that service.  Even if you can make someone’s services better than make a proposal regarding that.  I don’t know anything about event planning but I sent Hype Energy drink a proposal to do their launch party here in Houston.  If they call back then imma call the nearest event planner, promoter, club and pop that shit off.  If you send it off and can’t close it when they call then send me a copy and have them call me I will get it closed.  Don’t be scared.  The worst thing can happen is that they don’t call.  Nobody is calling you right now anyway so what difference does it make.  Don’t know how to make one then e-mail me and I will help you (lewiswilliams7@gmail.com).  Time for you to stand up and make something happen.  It is in the darkest hour that you must have faith.  If you scared go to church.  No room for fear in hustling.  Get it and close it.  People we can’t afford to wait on something to happen.  Ain’t no retirement or 401k for our generation.  Companies don’t stick around that long.  If you don’t do it won’t get done. The only thing worst than being broke is staying broke and making up excuses as to why you’re broke.

Hustle Tip of the Week: The Awful Truth Volume 3

           I got 3 deals on the table that betta close in the next week or I am running up in some offices with a du-rag and a bat.  I got a daddy that calls me every 5 minutes for nothing.  I have a best friend that thinks she was molested as a kid.  Gas is still 4 dollars.  Its time for me to show my ass literally.  Either sex is over rated or the last chick gotta go.  My taste is high as a kite.  America is on red alert, not for terrorism but for attitudes.  You’re not the only one doing bad.  If doing you doesn’t work then do somebody else.  Reading the Bible helps a great deal.  Does lil Wayne have to be on every damn song?  Did McCain really compare Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton?  You can get a bunch of smart people in a room and get a dumb decision.  Why when I ran spell check it didn’t have Obama but had Osama?  Why am I just realizing they names are too damn close?  Why does it not matter cause I’m voting for Obama anyway.  Pipe dreams are for plumbers.  Sex is always good until you ask him for money.  Who got a food stamp hook-up? A few people I do business with will be getting a “your services are no longer needed cause you be bullshittin’” email.  I had to run from a married woman this Saturday like Joseph did in the Bible.  The reason you are confused about that last one is because you don’t read the Bible.  The Bible does not say you can’t judge it says judge yourself with the same standard you judge others.  Judge not lest ye be judged.  Why people can’t read the whole verse?  Do you even read your Bible?  If you don’t understand the words get an amplified version.  Houston Mayor Bill White has a facebook page and I’m his friend.  If you have a problem with letting someone go you need to deal with something inside.  Why are people telling me they been thinkin’ about killing themselves.  Its hard times and you gon’ stick your people with the bill for burying your ass….you selfish.  You betta get a shot of patron, a good idea, some hustle and make your life work.  Why is it always somebody elses fault?  Should I be this happy single?  Bitchassness has gone up 15% and gas dropped 10 cent.  What the hell is an extra 10 cents gon do?  Where did my stimulus go?  I am accepting application for a female that looks good in a sundress, pretty hair, nails done and smells good for when I do feel like having a female with me.  Also looking for a new baby momma in the next 3 years since Zakiya Larry backed out of our deal.  Always get shit in writing.  My book “Silly Whore” will make me famous and gain me many enemies.  The majority of the females reading this is silly whores and don’t know it.  If you got offended guess what….
