Usually the road to the top is rather long. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get there. It simply means you may have to run a little faster. Work a little harder. Climb a little longer.
But eventually… you WILL make it. If you don’t give up.
You see, here’s the way we see it. The people who hustle (climb, claw, scrape, sprint, etc.) are the ones you ultimately want on your team. They’ve been through struggle; sometimes even to hell and back. Which means they know how to persevere. They know how to push themselves. They’re resourceful. They have passion and fire and gumption and determination.
These are the people who can take your company to another level. When the chips are down, when the deadlines are looming, when things look grim – they’ll keep fighting. And they’ll do what it takes to get things done. They don’t quit.
So if you’re hustling and striving and putting in the utmost effort every day – well done. And congrats in advance. Because eventually your hard work WILL pay off. And here’s the key: even if your current efforts don’t “appear” to end in success (e.g. your business dries up, your project gets halted, your life takes a dramatic shift) – you’re still coming out way ahead. Because the person you are after the struggle is stronger than the person you were before. Stronger, wiser, more resilient, more determined, more focused, more savvy, and more of an asset to whomever you work with in the future.
Take it from us. We’ve worked with those who’ve hustled. They’re pure gold.
