No more hustle

Perhaps you’ve heard this one:

“We need to hustle more and grow”

“Dig deep, burn the midnight oil, then you’ll succeed”

Nope!

Hustle is short:

  • Hustle is tense and unfocused
  • Hustle thinks strategy is slow
  • Burn-out comes next

But life is long:

  • Strategy is calm and methodical
  • Strategy thinks hustle is reckless
  • Statistical inevitability comes next

Progress favours the calm.
