Hustle built my Business

Y'all aren't going to like to hear this....especially in a time when hustle is a word associated with shame and judgment..
In every single profession there is good and bad- we can't group everyone and all professions the same.
As an actor I met the kindest, most creative and beautiful people...I also met people that were so cruel, cold and mean.
When I joined this industry and announced online I would be building this business I did get a few rude messages in my dms and I can only imagine what people said behind my back when I started.
My why was stronger and I've alway lived outside the "normal" way of doing things so I had built up confidence and an ability to navigate rejection.
I'm going to dive into the start of my business and the different season I was in... and how this business has ebs and flows.
I think people are very resistant to going all in for the fear of failure. I knew if I gave it my all and never quit it would work for me. So just as a plane needs momentum .. I think people never actually even " get started" because they are always one foot in and one foot out.
I'm am a huge fan of hustling for short periods for specific reasons and goals. If you are building sustainably and with integrity then it can literally collapse time for you. I also know that hustling to the point of burn out and without boundaries is very toxic.
Hustling gave me this grace year with my health. I spent August in the bed, bath or doctor's office. Without hustle I would've never left my teaching job that simply didn't provide properly. I couldn't have stayed home with baby #2 and for every single drop off and pick up of kindergarten. When we got evicted and had to move I was still able to work my business from anywhere.
Without hustle I would be at the school working waiting for my life to begin.
To shame something that can give you presence and choices isn't ok.
Yes I still will go into seasons of hustle and sprinting - there is discipline built into my business. I would say over 40-50 percent of the time I'm not motivated to show up but I have built the habit. For over three years I have consistently showed the same green drink and offered the business opportunity.
I truly love what I do & the people I do it with. This is my purpose and passion outside of motherhood and I'm just getting started.
If you are an ordinary person wanting to build an extraordinary life this may be for you. Write ME below and I'll send you more info xx
