You Don’t Have To Hustle Every Day

I got an email yesterday from a guy who asked why I didn’t update my Vlog on the weekend.

He said if it was meant to be a daily Vlog, why should he subscribe if it wasn’t going to be truly daily?

My answer was pretty simple. I told him that I don’t hustle on my weekends. It’s that easy. I don’t hustle on the weekend because I have a life I need to live outside of my business.

I don’t hustle because to me, getting that level of added success by sacrificing my Sunday isn’t worth the hangover of not having more time on my Monday.

Success is something you’ve got to want.

You’ve got to want it.

But you don’t have to want it every single day. Some days, you’re not going to feel like it. I think that’s my biggest struggle in the world, is trying to balance what I know I have to do with what I feel like doing.

We’re told to hustle 24X7. We’re told we have to crush it all the time. But crushing it all the time isn’t always possible. Crushing it all the time can lead to a nervous break down.

If I don’t feel like it, then I don’t do it. That’s what it comes down to.
