Tina called this transition “Ladder Switching”, meaning you acquire leadership and status in a different field and then use credibility to switch into a new field. In this case Tina used her marketing expertise, and her credibility as a popular DJ to obtain clients and build her marketing company. Consequently, it afforded her what seemed like an overnight success, as her company was acquired by a much bigger marketing agency just a few months later. Fast forward now two businesses later and with over a decade of technology and marketing experience, Tina has pulled all of her knowledge, skills, and resources together to found a tech startup STAX Agency, Inc., that merges intelligent software and human behavior to help the most talented people in the world monetize their influence. As a full-time entrepreneur, Tina admits the road has not been easy. She hit a few road blocks and hardships along the way. As a result, Tina is beginning her new series “Master the Hustle” to guide promising entrepreneurs on how to get results as they embark on their unpredictable journey. Her flagship product the 27 Laws of Hustle focuses on the core of “hustle,” embodying both hard core business strategies and life changing principles for success. Tina believes that the methods are many but the principles are few, and in order to master the hustle, you’ve got to do more than just stay up late and “grind”, you’ve got to live out the right principles and use clever strategies to achieve greatness in today’s world. 58 Summer 2017 | NURAMagazine.com
