The Hustle is Real: Tips from Entrepreneurs Changing the World
Some anonymous genius said it best, “The dream is free. The hustle is sold separately.” That couldn’t be more true of the Fast Forward alumni entrepreneurs who share their deepest entrepreneurial secrets in the latest video collaboration between Fast Forward and Comcast NBCUniversal.
Without hustle (defined as “the courage, confidence, self belief, and self-determination to go out there and work it out until you find the opportunities you want in life” by Urban Dictionary), these entrepreneurs wouldn’t be where they are today. Through hard work, strategic thinking, and persistence, these seven tech nonprofit founders are building game changing solutions to combat some of our world’s biggest problems.
A few of our favorite entrepreneurial secrets shared
“The biggest lesson I’ve learned is going from B to A rather than A to B when I plan. Standing in the future fulfilled, imagining that future and then working back to meet the intended goal.” – Liz Lee, Founder & Executive Director, Online SOS

“My advice is… don’t take all the advice you get” – Sneha Sheth, Co-Founder & CEO, Dost Education
