Recently, I was debating with patience and waiting versus hustling and creating what we want. The big question that emerged from this little conversation is, “do good things come to those who wait or to those who hustle?”
The truth is, success often comes after lots of hard work and waiting. However, waiting is a key part of the question. More specifically, it’s about what you do with the time that creates traction and ultimately new opportunities.
This week we’re three (3) sharing some unconventional advice on how to hustle to achieve results.
Rule #1: embrace change: Many people can work very, very hard. However, if they don’t embrace change, the work will simply help them do more of what they already do vs. directing their efforts and energy towards attaining that next level.
Rule # 2 disciplined repetition: This week, we’re sharing three rules for hustling strategically. Change your mentality to see hustling NOT as only doing those extraordinary efforts, but rather by knowing that real hustling is about repetition, repetition, repetition.
Rule #3 never be complacent: Today, remind yourself that those who successfully hustle believe complacency and mediocrity build monuments of nothing. Push yourself continually to ensure that complacency never sets in.
This week, take time today to deviate from your personal and work norms. Remind yourself that if you aren’t feeling uncomfortable or doing something outside the box, then you are not really growing (or hustling). Although you might not have the things, life, or job that you love – keep on working for what you really want, and desire and so both your waiting and working will pay off in big ways.
