Why Hustle and Grind is Overrated and how to succeed?

The New Age of Influence

In this episode, we talk about why we should let go of our past selves and transform into a better version of ourselves. We talk about taking pride in our hustle and grind and why we should accept and adapt to transformations.

Transformation

[0:21]

Whenever we’re doing a job or our business career, all of us go through transformations. We have dealt with a lot of challenges, setbacks, and struggles. Only when we overcome those will it allow us to get a promotion or increase our income potential.

Point A to Point B

Challenges are called “constant” and inevitable in whatever niche or profession you might be in. Whenever you find yourself in this precarious position, think about point A to point B. If you think about wine, diamonds, and olive oil, they all go from point A to B. When grapes get crushed, it gives rise to wine. When olives get pressed, we get olive oil. When carbon atoms are under the scrutiny of intense high pressure, we get diamonds. There is point A to point B for any change that we have to go through.

Be Adaptable to Change

We need to become adaptable. Transformation is never easy, but you have to make sure that you need to let go of your older self as a part of the transformation.

Letting Go of Your Past Self

They’re able to achieve that elite status because they can let go of their older self. Until you let go of that older self, if you remain attached to that older self, you will never be able to achieve that desired state of transformation or whatever that might be

[2:54]

The older self is all those things that are self-imposed limitation, excuses, or procrastination. We all experienced that from time to time. Transformation is never easy, yet it’s never possible unless and until you let go of your older self.

Hustle Grind

[3:29]

Many times we see the business owners take pride in hustling and grinding. But and it has received a lot of bad rap right now. Hustle and grind are good, but the way you should put that into perspective is by ensuring that it is measurable and that you are building certain concrete assets that allow you to climb that ladder and allow you to go to that next step right.

[4:14]

Take pride in your hustle in your grind. But at the same time, make sure that you’re building certain concrete assets that will allow you to raise your confidence, grow your profitability, all those things. Don’t do the hustle and grind just for the sake of it.
