“The hustle porn industry has done more to hurt entrepreneurs than any other group in recent memory.
Yes hard work matters. But, success is about designing a legendary LIFE.
Not becoming a slave to a business.
Keep “hustling” and you’ll find yourself divorced, fat, and sick with kids who think you’re an asshole.
It’s time to Unhustle.
It’s time to design businesses that work for our lives, not lives that work for our businesses.”
“Unhustle to me means to always measure twice and cut once. It’s spending more time thinking about how you are working so you can spend less time working while accomplishing more. Leverage is everywhere, but you’ll miss it if you’re not looking. 99% of the population isn’t looking. It’s important right now because as humans we’ve never been more inundated with more things to do at the exact same time as we have nuclear weapons at the tips of our fingers compared with just a decade or two ago.”
“Unhustle means to pause – take time from the grind to reconsider priorities, what brings you happiness and joy. This is important as emotional and physical well-being are not a given – we abuse our minds and bodies, we flex them so much in pursuit of goals and targets. A lot of times we do it out of habit, the habit of hustling. In 2021 I want to pause a bit more often and honestly answer – is this really worth it? To what end? And if it is not, then I hope to find the courage to let go.”
“Unhustle to me means to stop jumping every time society says when. We are a productivity and betterment focused world – and it’s actually not for the better! What’s important to me right now is realizing that I am where I am supposed to be. With my son and a focus on home and health and community. 2021 I would like to attempt to get back to some sort of creative flow. The blurred lines of time and space from the pandemic has made it hard for me to focus. I’d like more of that back :)”
“To me, Unhustle means staying in tune with what feels good to me. Of course, I want to rise to challenges and break into new ground in my life and business, but I think doing those things should give me a thrill, rather than weigh me down and exhaust all my energy. I’ve realized it’s important to be intentional when it comes to simplifying my life and as we move into 2021, I want to make a more conscious effort to structure my time so I can make the most out of both work AND play.”
“Unhustle means slowing down and stepping back to reflect and be more present. To honor the day, I will probably be taking the day off!”
“I want to learn to scale my business so I don’t have to work as much. 2020 has been empowering and a reminder to enjoy life because you never know what happens.”
“I plan to honor World Unhustle Day by taking a true pause to reflect and breathe. 2020 challenged everyone emotionally, physically, and professionally. In all the frantic reactivity, many of us forgot to focus on those things that we can actually control; our own health, time priorities and mental health. Owning our calendars and making conscious (sometimes courageous) choices about how we spend our time is the key to creating success both personally and professionally. Taking the time to understand what worked, what didn’t and how I am going to make conscious choices in 2021 bearing in mind that honest assessment will allow me to grow and build myself and my business.”
“Unhustle means to break free from proving energy. It’s important because true wealth means living expansively. 2020 was a year where I did all the things and then burned out. I’m showing up differently in my relationship to work in 2021.”
