How to Hustle

Hustle gets a bad rap sometimes.

It’s said to cause burnout or exhaustion. But I don’t buy it.

Action isn’t what causes burnout.

Your thoughts and feelings are what cause burnout.

Because here’s the thing:

There are two different kinds of hustle:

1. Hustling from a place of lack

2. Hustling from a place of abundance

Hustling from lack = taking action to feel good

Hustling from abundance = taking action BECAUSE you feel good

You know you’re hustling from lack when:

• You’re feeling anxious and desperate

• Putting in a ton of effort feels painful and slow

• You’re taking action from a frantic, stressed-out place

• You feel like you have to force the outcome happen

• You’re micromanaging your to-do list

• You’re burning out

You know you’re hustling from abundance when:

• You’re feeling calm and certain

• Putting in a ton of effort feels easy and fun

• You’re taking action from an inspired place

• You know the outcome you want is already a DONE DEAL

• You’re doing it because you want to, not because you have to

• You never seem to run out of energy

The key to getting what you want with ease isn’t to stop taking massive action.

The key is to change the emotion that’s fuelling the action.

Before you take action, take 60 seconds to get yourself into a mental state of abundance.

Think about why your outcome is already a done deal.

Think about all the outcomes you’ve created in the past.

Think about why you are certain this is no different.

It will change the way you hustle forever.
