Why Hustling May Be Keeping You from Succeeding (And Burning You Out)

Noteworthy Quotes:

“Success could be defined simply as achieving a goal. But what makes it different for each of us is that each of us has different goals. So success will look different for everyone.”

“Hustling, i.e working to excess, is not necessary in order to succeed at whatever goals you decide to set for yourself.”

“Hustling can prevent you from succeeding.”

“I believe that doing less is a more effective and faster way to achieve your goals.”

“I was spending way too much time doing things that didn’t matter, and those things were actually keeping me from doing the work that would move me forward.”
