Why Not Have Both
Right time, not on your time
Pre P.S. Watch this newsletters deep dive here.
For a long time I thought that:
Working hard = more money.
More money =
Staying up until 12am,
Going “all in,”
Posting 24/7.
If I didn’t “hustle,” then I didn’t earn my right to make money online.
It’s hard to not work hard, when you’ve been taught to do so at a young age.
My father immigrated from Guatemala to America when he was 16
…with nothing.
He needed to work hard.
He needed to graduate high-school.
He needed to send money to my grandmother to pay for rent.
He needed to make sure his immigration was not for nothing.
There is a time when hustle is necessary.
I grew up with a lot of “can’t make it to your talent shows sweetie, I have to work.”
10 year old me never grasped the concept of work.
But I grew up thinking that work was more important than me.
I didn’t understand that he made the sacrifice, so that we didn’t have to.
