For my entire freaking life, I've been the "put your head down and power through" guy. You know the type - the ones who wear their "hustle harder" mindset like a badge of honor. (Yeah, I was that person.)
But three days ago, my mentor hit me with something that made me question EVERYTHING:
"The hardest work as an entrepreneur is staying in a mental and emotional state where the work is fun and easy."
My immediate reaction? Complete BS. Like, come on - work is supposed to be HARD, right?
But damn it... he might be onto something.
Look, I'll give you a real example that's driving me crazy:
When I'm in the zone… I'm a freaking writing machine - 2,000 words just POUR out of me in an hour. It's effortless. It's actually FUN. I have to physically stop myself from writing more.
But when I'm "grinding it out"? Jesus... It's like pulling teeth with tweezers. 200 words feel like climbing Everest. And you know what's the most infuriating part? The forced work is always - ALWAYS - worse quality.
This is messing with my entire identity. Everything I thought I knew about what it means to "do the work" is being challenged.
Here's what's really keeping me up at night: What if we've all been sold this lie that suffering equals success? What if the real secret is figuring out how to make the hard stuff feel easy?
I'm dying to know - where do you land on this?
Are you a fellow member of the "grind till you die" club? Or have you already figured out this whole "make it easy" thing that I'm just now discovering?
Hit me back - my whole worldview is shifting and I need some perspective here.
