A lot of people are busy, working hard, trying new things but not actually making progress. That’s what I call failure hustling. It’s when you use “I’m busy” or “I work hard” as a cover for the fact that nothing’s really moving forward. In this episode, I break down what failure hustling looks like, how to know if you’re doing it, and most importantly what to do about it.

Show Notes: 

[02:07]#1 You are always grinding but never growing.

[07:47]#2 Your hustle is an identity rather than a strategy.
 
[17:38]#3 You must outgrow hustling.
