Think the world owes you something? No. You're not entitled to anything without hard work. On the contrary, you owe the world your best, and it's time to grind. Grind isn't a destination, it's daily work. Everyone needs to put on their working caps not only to put food on the table but also to earn favorable credentials as productive members of the community. Anyone who’s able to grind but doesn’t is a burden to everybody else.
But there’s more to life than the daily grind. And it’s called the hustle. Hustling is grinding on steroids. But to get high, hustlers don’t use drugs. They use strategic thinking, smart processes, goal setting, value generation, and positive psychology. Vibe to the art of the hustle as I give you ideas and pointers to take your game to the next level.
Respect the hustle and results will follow. Here’s how: Forget inspiration and focus on habit. Your success depends more on habit than on inspiration because good habits consistently deliver results, whether you are inspired or not. In contrast, inspiration comes only once in awhile and you won’t get anywhere relying on something that’s not always there. Habits are part of you and pretty much work like an instinctive process. Imagine being on auto-mode with your destination set for success. That’s how hustling works and it takes new habits to hustle your way through your school work, career, business, or personal life.
Here are some strategic habits to 10x your results and stay ahead of the competition.
