Freelancing Is for Hustlers
Hustle is a dying concept outside of sports. Elite athletes know working hard, moving fast, eliminating distractions, and subjugating everything to their goals is critical for success. That is the basic definition of “hustle.”
Of course, not every athlete makes it to the NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB, NHL, or other top-tier sports. Only a few (compared to the legion of athletes in sports) hustle enough and work their way into a fantastic career.
Former Alabama Crimson Tide football coach Nick Saban said it like this:
We can be:
- Bad
- Average
- Good
- Excellent
- Elite
“Everybody has a choice as to what they want to do and how they want to do that.” — Nick Saban
He goes on to say that reaching the top two levels requires special intensity, special focus, and special commitment. In other words — you got to hustle!
