An educator once told me I had to answer inquiries An educator once told me I had to answer inquiries no less than 10-15 minutes after they landed in my inbox - regardless of business hours. 

I once stayed up until midnight to accommodate a consultation for a night shift nurse who swore it was the only time she could talk. And then she ghosted me.

I used to roll out of bed and sit at my desk immediately to get to work. I would forget to eat or drink water until 3 PM. 

All of it was rooted in the idea that I wasn’t truly worth what I was being paid, and I needed to work myself to the bone to make sure I had given my clients their full value. Meanwhile, my relationships, body, and mental health paid the price. 

HUSTLE CULTURE IS TOXIC.

I’m not here to say you shouldn’t work hard to serve your clients well. But what good are you to your clients if you’re overworked, burned out, and fed up? You will never show up as your most creative, most abundant self that way. 

You can have a successful business AND have business hours. 
You can have a successful business AND let that email sit for a few more hours if your family needs you. 
You can take vacations, spend time with your family and friends, get 8 hours of sleep, and….still have a successful business. I’m making the most money I’ve ever made, and I’m working with clients I used to dream of. You can too!

Does hustle culture still have a hold on you?
