You can sit around and complain that things aren’t going your way –
Or you can do something about it.
Instead of wallowing around in your own self-pity, you need to DO THE WORK.
All of the work
Not some of the work
Not just the work you “feel like” doing
But ALL OF IT
All of the work that matters!
I mean, come on! This is your LIFE we’re talking about here!
Do you want your life to be better?
Do you want to be making more money?
Do you want to help more people?
Do you want to have more freedom?
Then I’m sorry to tell you, but that requires sweat equity. That requires constat hustle. That requires dedication to do whatever it takes.
The fluffy “you don’t need to hustle 24/7 to be successful” articles and Facebook posts you read are full of it. I mean, sure, you can of course be successful without always hustling. OF COURSE YOU CAN. But HOW successful is the question.
How successful do you want to be?
I’m sure you could build a 6-figure business working just a few hours a week. People do that all the time. But if you want MORE? If 6-figures is the bottom of the barrel for you –
If you want more
Much more
Then you need to grind. I’m sorry, but that’s just the truth.
Actually, I’m not sorry. I’m annoyed. Annoyed with people telling you that hustle leads to burn out. Hustle only leads to burn out if you’re wasting time on shit that doesn’t matter and that doesn’t make you happy.
The thing is?
Most people are focused on building a business and not on building a LIFE.
When your life and business become one, THAT is when true success happens. That’s when you’re fully able to actually enjoy your work and enjoy the hustle - to the point that you WANT to work all the time.
You know the “crazy” people who are always working, those “workaholics” that you always see and hear about (oh hey, that’s me!)?
THOSE people are workaholics that CHOOSE to work all the time because their work is their life and their life is their work. They don’t separate the two.
I see the look of confusion on peoples’ faces when they ask what I do and I say I get paid to be me
“What does that mean?” or “How does that work?”, they ask.
And this is just it –
No one UNDERSTANDS.
No one GETS IT.
No one REALIZES that yes, you can get paid to show up, speak, and get paid to be you.
So then working 24/7 is natual, because it’s simply you living your LIFE. How do you take a break from LIFE? Think about that..
And if you’re here right now
If you’ve read this far –
You’re completely in agreement. Am I right?
This all day, every day hustle?
This constant need to work on your craft?
This feeling of power, of happiness, of excitement from doing the work?
Are EXACTLY what you want. Are exactly what YOU need.
Because you’re a creator. You’re a leader. You’re here to make a difference. And so you do!
You don’t want to follow the crowds
You don’t want to listen to their rules
You don’t want to do what others say
You want to be you! You want to be free! You want to live your OWN life and do it YOUR way!
And so –
You shall.
But first, you need to OWN IT. Own the fact that no matter what, you will do what’s right for you. That you will go with the flow, always. That you will believe in yourself and your dreams, regardless of what others tell you is possible.
You will ignore the warnings.
You will ignore the naysayers.
You will ignore the lack of belief.
You will push forward. You will continue to do the work. Because this is your calling. This is what you were BORN to do. So fuck all “logic”, and let’s do it!
And really?
The majority of people aren’t going to HAVE this. This life of doing, saying, being and having everything they want.
Because they’re so fucking brainwashed by everyone telling them to slow down
Take it easy
Have a break
UGH, PLEASE.
Ain’t no one got time for that.
Don’t forget –
You really can be, do and have EVERYTHING you want. Take action now!
