What Jamie wrote
I have always disliked the use of this word "hustle", particularly in startups. It is a bit of a short hand for "work harder", but I can’t help but inferring a bit of the subtext too of "hustling someone". I like David Sparks reflection here too.
It’s only recently, with this new insight, that I have come back to this idea of “the hustle.” With a little wisdom and understanding, I now realize that “the hustle” is dumb.
The rules, as taught to me, were wrong. It is not he-who-works-most wins. It is he-who-focuses-on-what-is-most-important who wins.
Focus beats hustle.
