Stop Romanticizing the Past, Start Actually Grinding
from A Phil Svitek Podcast - A Series From Your 360 Creative Coach · host Phil Svitek
People put such an emphasis on the hustle, the grind. They look at success stories and use those to pump themselves up. That's fine except when they glamorize those people's histories and falsely believe that they can put in "the same grind"... but only for 3 months and achieve the same. It doesn't work like that. The hustle and struggle is truly real. How bad do you want it? Or do you just say you want it? It's time to decide. Stop romanticizing stories of the past... instead, learn from those strategies and move forward. Do something!
