Just Do It!

Do or do not. There is no try ~Yoda

If you're at your computer right now, try to move your mouse. Don't touch it! That would involve action and right now we are focused on trying. Try to raise your right foot. Just try. As much mental energy as you expend, until you take action and move something, you will remain right where you are.

Hustling requires action, constantly. Researching, writing, calling, emailing, meeting, traveling, organizing, attending, collecting, creating, inspiring, invoicing, and more. All these verbs are in the hustler vocabulary on repeat.

Trying is not in the hustler toolbox because trying doesn't move you forward. I love a line from a book I've recently finished, The One Minute Millionaire . "Trying and striving doesn't get you brownie points, only achieving does."

Don't be a trying hustler - trying to get it going, trying to meet this person, trying to find funding, trying to wait for the economy to rebound. Stop trying and start achieving. Making 1 phone call is more valuable than trying to make 100.

One of the most memorable lines in advertising could be the hustler mantra: Just Do It. Not just try it. Put on your hustle shoes and run toward your success.

See you at the finish line!

Thanks for sharing. We do have to be opened minded and see things for what they are and how it can benefit us in this current economy. Sometimes we just need to accept and not ask questions because we could miss our blessings. I commented to share my website of the opportunity that is available for those who want to live a life of "freedom".
