This morning I did a panel about Side Hustles and someone asked: “what is your definition of Hustle?”
I responded….. Hustle feels exhausting.
It’s about externally proving yourself and showing yourself to be working. Sitting in traffic to show your commitment to your work. “Busyness” comes to mind with hustle. “Noisiness” comes to mind with hustle and it feels vain. (I have a respect/hate relationship with the term hustle and side hustle tbh)
The most significant shifts you can make in getting the results you want aren’t usually grounded in “hustle” or “hustle-culture” but the work that isn’t public. Your mindset, motivations, thoughts, values and beliefs will change what you actually go ahead, and so arguably, that is where you should take some time to focus.
This could look like blocking time in your calendar, booking annual leave, adjusting the deadline for a goal or booking some coaching or investing in personal development. Maybe it looks like checking your email at specific points throughout the day and saying ‘no’ or ‘not this week’ to a few things.
If you are ready to create a work-life balance that automatically feeds into creating the career of your dreams, you should have a look at my 1-1 coaching.
