Hustle Or No Hustle - That Is the Question!


 

According To Oxford Languages...

To hustle means: push roughly; jostle.

And according to the founder institute: The Hustler is a self-starter determined to succeed in the world of entrepreneurship.

It continues...

Armed with an outgoing personality and a presence that exudes confidence, The Hustler can sell any product and pitch any company to anyone, from customers to investors and everyone in between.

Uff, I’ve Got To Break...

Need to take a deep breath already before we continue!

And according to Gary Vee’s famous quotes on “hustling” and “working your face off” in the entrepreneurial world, which translates:

If you want to build a business that “funds” your lifestyle, you’re aspiring to a top 1% life…

Which means it’s going to take a ridiculous amount of hard work to get there. Hustle, hustle, hustle!


LET'S KEEP ON BREATHING!

He’s right about one thing though...

To reach a level of success in entrepreneurship you’ve got to work hard.

But in this age of entrepreneurship with the tools available to build a business, reach your audience and make an offer it’s all about working smart, not hard.

Exhale!

I Like To Say: "I’m Not Afraid Of Hard Work..."

I just don’t do hustle. 

And you know why?

It’s because I’ve set boundaries and have come clear with what truly matters to me. I prioritize self-care and smart work that gets the job done over the “standard push to hustle”.

I believe to win in entrepreneurship you’ve got to stay focused, clear and in motion.

And to win in life, you’ve got to stay healthy and joyful. 


WORKING HARD FOR THE SAKE OF IT IS JUST OLD SCHOOL

And, it’s detrimental to your health, period. 

Burnout is the disease of the 21st century.

According to the research paper from Felix Kipkosgei on perceived entrepreneurial stress and entrepreneurial resilience, he highlights the important mediating role played by entrepreneurial well-being...

In linking the relationship between entrepreneurial stress and entrepreneurial resilience.

In the counterpart employee scene, according to a Gallup poll of 7,500 full-time employees...

One in four employees feel burned out at work very often or always.

While nearly half report feeling it sometimes, and somewhat disturbing was the trend seems particularly acute amongst the young.

Certainly The Global Pandemic Brought Uncertainty And Adaptability...

To the entrepreneurship arena in record time.

But not all were able to adapt to the new changes at that speed. Mostly reflected in increased levels of stress and burnout, leaving many with little to none guidance on what to do. 

SO IF THE QUESTION IS TO HUSTLE OR NO HUSTLE I BELIEVE THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE:

Learning how to cope with everyday stress, installing burnout prevention mechanisms in our routines, and finding the sustainable growth mechanism in our business/ career is the way forward.

Alongside a community that has got your back!
