So thank you forsupporting us in that way.
It just means a great deal to me andthe team that works on this podcast.
(00:46):
So today we are going totalk about the hustle.
Now people talk about hustling.
They say, you have to hustle to get ahead.
They say, you have to be relentless.
They say you have to have thislaser vision focus, but hustling.
Is not necessarily going to getyou to where you want to go.
In fact, hustling mightjust get you nowhere.
(01:06):
Now, let me explain this.
You see.
Hustling is just busy work.
Hustling does not meanyou're being productive.
The act of hustling and the act of beingproductive are two different things.
So understand this.
There's a difference betweenwork and progress right now.
There's this myth in the world thatif you're not hustling, you're not
(01:27):
trying hard enough that in orderto get ahead, you have to hustle.
You have to pay your dues.
How many times have you heard thatat work or somewhere else in life?
You have to pay your dues.
What, what the heck does that mean?
I mean, so to a college grad that made mesomething like, oh, I can't hang with you.
You're not in my league.
You need to finish school beforeyou can roll in my circle.
(01:48):
I mean, that's, that'swhat it sounds like.
You got to go pay your dues.
You got to do what Idid because I suffered.
So you have to suffer too.
So that's the only waythat we can be equal.
So I guess what.
There's more than one way to climb.
The top of this mountain is more thanone way to get into that inner circle.
You see, in today's world, the hustleculture often translates into long
hours and constant busy-ness to succeed.
(02:10):
However, that strategy, ifyou even want to call it that
it's going to drive you crazy.
It's going to lead you down apath that's not productive or
aligned with your goals at all.
Let, let me give you an example, please.
So back in a little while ago, I wouldsay it's probably about 15 years ago or
so now I decided to start this businessto capture the daily deals, trends like
(02:31):
Groupon and living social, and back then.
Those companies were beingbought and sold in just months.
Small companies were establishing agood client base of local businesses
and larger ones, regional ones ornational ones were coming and just
buying them out for their client list.
And I wanted it.
I want to do.
To flip a business really fast.
I just was looking for that inand out and kind of a thing.
And I thought this would be a greatopportunity to make a quick buck.
(02:53):
So I left my corporate job in theamusements industry and I went all in.
I was living in Newport beach at the time,Newport beach, California, if you know
the area and the daily deal market, ifyou remember, it was very hyper-local,
it's all about the local businesses.
And if you know anything about orangecounty and the Southern California
market, it's full of neighborhoods.
And communities that areseparated from one to the other.
(03:15):
So I was like, this is,this is that great way.
So I built a small team.
Uh, there was a web developersales rep and operations
person, just the basics too.
And I gave them equity in thebusiness and we, and we started.
So back then.
This is important back then.
I didn't know what I know now.
Back then when I told us tellingpeople I was doing this, they started
(03:36):
calling me this tech entrepreneur,which I thought sounded crazy.
I'm not a tech entrepreneur, but that'swhat people kept referring to me as.
And I started to believe them.
So I started reading and researchingabout what other tech entrepreneurs do.
And I thought that's what I needed to do.
And one thing that techentrepreneurs did was they expanded
quickly and they scaled quickly.
(03:57):
So I doubled down and expanded fromorange county and to San Diego.
And I just barely even started orangecounty, but I was like, we need to expand
because that's what tech entrepreneurs do.
And then what am I?
Startup founders was from Reno, Nevada.
And he had a lot of contacts in that area.
So we prepped to launchReno Nevada as well.
It wasn't a great gr.
Geographical this, but we hadcontexts, we knew people there.
(04:20):
So I was like, allright, let's launch Reno.
Because I was thinking that if I can geta small number of businesses in these
areas in orange county and in San Diegoand in Reno, then I could sell this list.
I could sell my business to a largercompany after all, you know, being in
multiple cities was assigned to success.
Right.
But for me, that concept was justa mile wide, but an inch thick.
(04:44):
'cause I got spread too thinand I got bogged down in details
of multi-market operations.
I spent too much time traveling.
And these markets I hustled,I worked day and night.
I spent hours on the road.
I mean, I was, I was doing the hustle,but unfortunately it got me nowhere.
And I let my story.
I'm a tech entrepreneur with startups inorange county and San Diego and Reno take
(05:05):
away from my focus on what really matters.
I see the hustle spread me thin.
And the hustle burned me out andultimately the hustle killed my business.
Now let's talk about burnoutbecause breaks are good.
Taking time to yourself.
Is good and allows you to take a step backand look at where you are objectively.
(05:28):
And that's why if you're hustling andyou're keeping your head down by the time
you look up, you may be on a completelywrong path that you just put all this
work into the days, a weeks months.
And all of a sudden yourealize that you're nowhere.
And burnout is not the onlybad result of hustling.
Are you familiar with thelaws of diminishing returns?
(05:50):
Essentially, it means that for everyextra hour of work you put in, it
contributes less and less to youroverall goals, but more on that in a bit.
So I've established why hustling alone.
Isn't going to take youwhere you need to be.
It's going to burn you out andit's going to distract you.
And it's going to takeyou away from your focus.
And yes, it might look like, and peoplemay see your drive and determination
(06:11):
and say, man, that guy's hustling.
He's going places.
But here's an important concept.
Do not let work.
Be mistaken for progress.
You cannot let work bemistaken for progress.
So what are you doing stat first?
You need to prioritize your goals.
You need to identify your mostimportant goals and focus on that.
(06:32):
This means you need to know what'surgent versus what's important.
What matters now versuswhat matters later.
You see.
There were times I was focusedon setting up processes for
when we had 10,000 clients.
And that took away from my focus ofgetting my first thousand clients.
I let the big picture and I letthe tech entrepreneur thing.
(06:54):
Distract me.
I was focusing ontomorrow's problems today.
Not today's problems today.
And because of that, Theproblems I was working to solve.
Never happened.
They were fake.
Because tomorrow nevercame for that business.
We never got the 10,000 customers.
I wasted my time trying to solvea problem that didn't exist.
(07:18):
But to me at the time I thought I wasdoing the right thing because I was
in that mindset of, I need to scale.
I need to prepare for big growth.
And I took my eye off the ball of whatwas important now to focus on what it was
important later, but later never came.
Now I'm not saying that working to solvetomorrow's problems, isn't important.
(07:38):
It is.
A huge.
Huge tech CEO like markZuckerberg or Tim Cook's.
They need to be thinking years, if nota decade down the line, but guess what?
Right now.
We're not Tim cook andwe're not mark Zuckerberg.
We're not running multi-billiondollar global enterprises.
Yet.
But what we are doing is we'retrying to make our mark in the world.
(07:59):
So next to be able to do that, you needto find leverage smart work, involves
leveraging our resources, leveragingour time and leveraging other people's
skills and other people's time.
To achieve more.
With less effort.
This might mean delegation likehiring a virtual assistant or simply
putting projects on the back burner.
(08:19):
So.
So you can focus.
On that one thing you need to getdone right now, learning how to
leverage your time and resourceswill help you work smarter.
Be more efficient and reduce burnout.
And third, you need to setsome boundaries and rest.
Working smart is just that smart.
Not hard.
(08:40):
You need to establishboundaries on your time.
So you can remember those in yourlife, your friends, your families,
your hobbies, don't lose track of.
What's really important asyou're working to get ahead.
And one way I've done, this is to takeone week and hyper-focus on a single task.
See everyone's role is going to bedifferent and you might need to take some
time to figure out what works for you.
(09:01):
But for me, I found a good workflow thatfits into my schedule because as you know,
I travel full-time I'm around the country.
I'm driving a lot.
I'm exploring a lot.
You know, and doing all this fromthe road and you can see if you're
watching me on YouTube here, youknow, I mean, my van right now, So
here's how I've found a good workflowthat fits into my travel schedule.
I spent one week a month in just one spot.
(09:25):
I'll book a camp ground,like where I'm at right now.
I'll book a camp ground for this week.
And during that one week I'llproduce and record content
like a madman I'm recording.
I'm editing, I'm polishingwith a laser light focus.
Just for one week a month.
And that one week of work canproduce enough content for me
to last weeks or even months.
(09:46):
And the other three weeks of themonth when I'm not in one spot.
And I travel.
I'm exploring and I'm living my life.
I'm doing all the things that attractedme to the open road in the first place.
So I still have that part of me, butthat one week at one week I'm focused.
But that doesn't mean that I'mdone working as I'm traveling,
I'll respond to emails and makingsure things are posting correctly.
(10:06):
I'm participating in my groupcoaching calls and on school.
And I'm just available.
For everyone who would need tomeet, but just from the road.
But for one week.
I sit down and I produce and I record,which is the hardest part of my job.
All traveling full time.
They need to find a quiet place.
I can't exactly do this kind of stuff.
If there's noises going allaround me and stuff like that.
(10:28):
So.
What works great for me on this?
I have three weeks.
Too, right.
Edit clear my head then rereadre-edit to get things just right.
So that way, when I hit up that campgroundfor a week, I know I have all my copy,
all my scripts, everything I want totalk about everything I want to teach.
Ready to go.
Because you have no idea how manytimes I'll read something, then
(10:53):
reread something I wrote and go.
What the heck.
Well, what was I thinkingwhen I wrote that?
That makes no sense because you're so deepinto the weeds, you lose your perspective.
So you need to set boundariesrest and always remain adaptive.
That's why that three week window,as I'm writing up 10, 15, 20
different scripts or ideas, contentideas, or answering your questions.
(11:14):
If you have questions for me onthe podcast, you can always go to
winning without college.com/podcast.
And you can submit questionsbecause we answered a lot of
those here on the podcast.
So you can do that.
So that way I have time to think about it.
I have.
Time to be able to formulate good answers.
And when I sit down and record,boom, you're good to go.
So make sure you set your boundaries,you arrest remain objectives and
(11:34):
just having a few hyper-focus days.
I now have material for weeks oreven months that I can utilize.
And that's the hardest part of doing whatI do right now, other than, you know,
the, the content and stuff like that.
So I can go back to my travels,spending time with my friends and
family and enjoying my hobbies.
And.
Don't get me wrong here.
(11:55):
I'm not trying to demonize the concept ofhustling or saying that those who hustle.
Are not going to succeed orthey're wasting their time.
That's not what I'm saying here.
What I want.
What I would love tosee is us to redefine.
The term hustle or hustling, Iwould love for us to look at a
(12:15):
different definition for that word.
Hustling needs to be redefined in a waythat uses strategic thinking and leverage.
And maybe some common sense.
It's about balancing the hardworkingenergy that hustling and bodies with
smart decision-making and prioritizing.
Uh, hustling should have a balancedapproach that recognized the
value of dedication and thoughtfulplanning to achieve success.
(12:39):
We need to approach the hustlethat prioritizes wellbeing
efficiency with the strategic focus.
As opposed to just work for work sake.
So.
Ditch the traditional hustle.
It's going to get you nowhere.
And implement a different type of hustle.
. The one that smart,strategic and balanced.
And before I leave you today, I wantto talk to you about one more thing.

So you have to suffer too.
So that's the only waythat we can be equal.
So I guess what.
There's more than one way to climb.
The top of this mountain is more thanone way to get into that inner circle.
You see, in today's world, the hustleculture often translates into long

And communities that areseparated from one to the other.
(03:15):
So I was like, this is,this is that great way.
So I built a small team.
Uh, there was a web developersales rep and operations
person, just the basics too.
And I gave them equity in thebusiness and we, and we started.
So back then.
This is important back then.
I didn't know what I know now.
Back then when I told us tellingpeople I was doing this, they started
(03:36):

Because I was thinking that if I can geta small number of businesses in these

I could sell my business to a largercompany after all, you know, being in

Right.
But for me, that concept was justa mile wide, but an inch thick.
(04:44):
'cause I got spread too thinand I got bogged down in details
of multi-market operations.
I spent too much time traveling.

Taking time to yourself.

Are you familiar with thelaws of diminishing returns?
(05:50):
Essentially, it means that for everyextra hour of work you put in, it

So I've established why hustling alone.
Isn't going to take youwhere you need to be.
It's going to burn you out andit's going to distract you.
And it's going to takeyou away from your focus.

and say, man, that guy's hustling.
He's going places.
But here's an important concept.
Do not let work.
Be mistaken for progress.
You cannot let work bemistaken for progress.
So what are you doing stat first?
You need to prioritize your goals.
You need to identify your mostimportant goals and focus on that.
(06:32):
This means you need to know what'surgent versus what's important.
What matters now versuswhat matters later.
You see.
There were times I was focusedon setting up processes for
when we had 10,000 clients.
And that took away from my focus ofgetting my first thousand clients.
I let the big picture and I letthe tech entrepreneur thing.

Not today's problems today.
And because of that, Theproblems I was working to solve.

Now I'm not saying that working to solvetomorrow's problems, isn't important.
(07:38):
It is.
A huge.
Huge tech CEO like markZuckerberg or Tim Cook's.
They need to be thinking years, if nota decade down the line, but guess what?
Right now.
We're not Tim cook andwe're not mark Zuckerberg.
We're not running multi-billiondollar global enterprises.
Yet.
But what we are doing is we'retrying to make our mark in the world.
(07:59):
So next to be able to do that, you needto find leverage smart work, involves
leveraging our resources, leveragingour time and leveraging other people's
skills and other people's time.
To achieve more.
With less effort.
This might mean delegation likehiring a virtual assistant or simply

(08:19):
So.

(10:28):
So.
What works great for me on this?
I have three weeks.
Too, right.
Edit clear my head then rereadre-edit to get things just right.
So that way, when I hit up that campgroundfor a week, I know I have all my copy,
all my scripts, everything I want totalk about everything I want to teach.
Ready to go.
Because you have no idea how manytimes I'll read something, then
(10:53):
reread something I wrote and go.
What the heck.
Well, what was I thinkingwhen I wrote that?
That makes no sense because you're so deepinto the weeds, you lose your perspective.
So you need to set boundariesrest and always remain adaptive.
That's why that three week window,as I'm writing up 10, 15, 20
different scripts or ideas, contentideas, or answering your questions.
(11:14):
If you have questions for me onthe podcast, you can always go to
winning without college.com/podcast.
And you can submit questionsbecause we answered a lot of
those here on the podcast.
So you can do that.
So that way I have time to think about it.
I have.
Time to be able to formulate good answers.
And when I sit down and record,boom, you're good to go.
So make sure you set your boundaries,you arrest remain objectives and
(11:34):
just having a few hyper-focus days.
I now have material for weeks oreven months that I can utilize.
And that's the hardest part of doing whatI do right now, other than, you know,
the, the content and stuff like that.
So I can go back to my travels,spending time with my friends and
family and enjoying my hobbies.
And.
Don't get me wrong here.
(11:55):
I'm not trying to demonize the concept ofhustling or saying that those who hustle.
Are not going to succeed orthey're wasting their time.
That's not what I'm saying here.
What I want.
What I would love tosee is us to redefine.
The term hustle or hustling, Iwould love for us to look at a
(12:15):
different definition for that word.
Hustling needs to be redefined in a waythat uses strategic thinking and leverage.
And maybe some common sense.
It's about balancing the hardworkingenergy that hustling and bodies with
smart decision-making and prioritizing.
Uh, hustling should have a balancedapproach that recognized the
value of dedication and thoughtfulplanning to achieve success.
(12:39):
We need to approach the hustlethat prioritizes wellbeing
efficiency with the strategic focus.
As opposed to just work for work sake.
So.
Ditch the traditional hustle.
It's going to get you nowhere.
And implement a different type of hustle.
. The one that smart,strategic and balanced.
And before I leave you today, I wantto talk to you about one more thing.
(13:02):
You've heard me talk about this, ifyou've, if you've seen some of my other
stuff, but these are the five hard truthsthat you go through in life without having
