Hustling Backwards

If your goal is to accelerate success, then you want to avoid doing this at all costs.  Imagine speeding down the highway to get to your destination.  You’ve been driving for hours, only to realize that you are heading the wrong direction.  All of your efforts have been wasted.  It happens to the best of us too often.  However we can avoid this.  We can hustle intelligently.  We can apply that same level of effort, but in a more strategic way.  Imaging speeding down the highway, but this time you’re equipped with a GPS.  You have the information that you need to assure that you are heading the right direction.  As hustlers that’s exactly what we need; a GPS.  What if every idea, business plan, partnership, relationship came with a map that showed you how to successfully navigate through it?  You could safely apply maximum effort on the things that matter the most to you knowing that you would get results.  Well, there are maps available to us.  We just have to take to the first step, and find them. 

Forever a Student

This is a key point to accelerate success.  Your efforts as a hustler will be in vain without it.  You must adopt and maintain the attitude and perspective of a student.  No matter how successful you become; stay in a position of learning.  There is always more information to learn.  No one knows everything.  In today’s technology infused world, the rate of change is at an all time high.  It is imperative that you are in a position to adapt as the world around you changes.  The information that you discover will serve as your map.  It will guide you through the ups and downs of your journey.  You can make more informed decisions about your business, profession, or just in life all together.  Seeking and learning new information will also shield you from being left behind.  With the proper information you can confidently max out your efforts to pursue a goal.  Stay a student.

Double Down

“Hard work beats talent, when talent doesn’t work hard.”  You can accelerate success by applying both variables in this equation.  You can be talented, and work hard.  This is the winning combination that creates industry leaders and stand out performers.  In most areas talent can be equated to information.  Having accurate information gives you the edge.  Now you just need to apply the hustle.  That is what we call intelligent hustle.
