Shameless Leadership

17: Why You Should STOP Hustling

Listen Later

Before I start this episode on the topic of why you should not hustle I have to say thank you. Thank you to all of you who listen to this podcast, comment, share your stories or leave reviews! I woke up this morning and saw on iTunes that The Shameless Mom Academy is ranking in 3 categories for new and noteworthy! So thank you so much for your feedback!

Why you shouldn’t you hustle? I have five reasons why you shouldn’t! The hustle can have such an effect on your body not just physically but mentally as well. Your body needs rest and a chance to recharge so you don’t lose your mojo or passion. 

Today we learn:

  • Long term is not so pretty—for me personally I’m not going to lie some of it has to do with my age
  • You don’t want to burn out and lose passion—At 25 I burned out to the point that I wanted to get my tubes tied!
  • I went back to school for another field that didn’t work with kids—Don’t get to the point you burn out
  • You will lose your mojo—pace yourself
  • Not sustainable—my business has to be sustainable between 9 to 5, anything before or after those hours I’m not responsible for
  • It’s not fair to your loved ones and YOURSELF—If you’re busy hustling when do you have time for anything else?
  • The impact it has on your body…literally—don’t push yourself so hard it could affect your health
  • No space left for creativity—you need to rest and recharge
  • If you want something bad enough, you will make it happen— try to relax on deadlines to make sure this is what you want to do
  • You will make it work if you have to—don’t make it seem sacrificial 
  • You can’t quit right? WRONG! —When you quit something you are opening up the door for something new
