Why You Need to Hustle and 3 Painless Tips to Help You Do It

By Deborah MacDonald

Running your own home-based business requires you to hustle. If you’re in this business you know the work is never done and there is always something you can and should be doing to develop and promote your business.

While you do need to keep moving and dedicate yourself to your business, you don’t have to sacrifice your personal life. In fact, one of the best benefits that comes with this career is that you get ultimate freedom of time and money and can live the kind of life you want.

Why you Win when you Hustle

There are probably people you look up to in the network marketing or business world. These people are successful, seem to have everything under control, have successful businesses and have an income they can rely on. Regardless of what kind of business they have or what they specialize in, these people all have one thing in common: they hustle.

Hustling means acting quickly, pursuing opportunities and not letting business slow down to the point where it’s not as lucrative as it could be. It means always being ready to push your business forward and doing what it takes to see success as a business owner and as a team.

Doing these things leads to success. When you are constantly looking for and pursuing opportunities, your business will grow.  It takes time and effort to reach goals but business owners that hustle know that watching opportunities pass them by won’t get them anywhere.

If you have a ‘hustle’ attitude, it will lead to success because you won’t let anything get in your way. It is also contagious among team members, who will adopt your positive attitude and adopt this attitude themselves.

3 Painless Tips to Help you Hustle

It does take work, but it doesn’t have to be hard. In fact, when you adopt some habits and see things from the right perspective, hustling can become a part of your day-to-day life without interfering with your freedom lifestyle.

Build a Personalized Routine

Create a routine that you will use every day and then stick to it. Get into healthy sleep habits and use a schedule to keep you on track. This schedule should help you keep a balance between building your business and taking time for yourself and your family.

This routine should also have built in opportunities for building your business. Schedule networking time, professional development opportunities and bookkeeping tasks that just have to get done. A schedule will help you stay on your game and use each day to its fullest.

Prioritize your Work and Opportunities

Don’t just work hard; work smart. Prioritize your daily tasks and long-term projects in a way that lets you focus on things that will bring the highest return on your investment. Look for ways to make the most of your time by spending more time on things that will help your business grow more quickly, delegating projects and outsourcing some tasks.

Don’t Go it Alone

So many people start networking marketing or launch a business feeling like they are alone. There are lots of other people out there doing similar things and there are lots of people that can provide support and advice.

Recognize when you need help or when you aren’t sure what direction to take and then be willing to ask for help from professional contacts, colleagues, team members or a business coach.
