Is HUSTLE a dirty word? with Emma McQueen Rise Up In Business
-
- Entrepreneurship
A lot of negative connotations seem to be attached to the word hustle. But today I want to explore this concept a little deeper to understand if hustle really is a dirty word.
I’m joined by special guest and seasoned entrepreneur, Emma McQueen, to talk about why hustle has gotten such a bad rap and explore the perhaps overlooked benefits of hard work and determination.
Emma McQueen is one of my business besties and a coach who helps women achieve incredible results in their businesses. Through her coaching program, Thriving Women, Emma has created a vibrant community where exceptional women can forge connections, ignite inspiration, and embark on a journey of continuous learning. She is also a woman who is not afraid of hard work, with ‘hustle’ being her favourite word.
In this episode, Emma and I discuss what hustling means and how at its core, it’s about working hard and getting things done. We talk about how some people see hustle in a negative light because they associate it with cutthroat competition, taking advantage of others, or prioritising profit over ethics and values.
Emma shares how she views hustling as a positive force when it’s balanced correctly. Hustle can coexist with a healthy lifestyle, mental well-being, and personal growth. It’s about having the determination to work hard towards a goal and the flexibility to go with the flow when things change, as they often do in business.
We talk about an important aspect of being an entrepreneur and that is understanding that business has seasons. There will be times when you need to work harder and hustle, and there will be times when you can slow down and take a breather. It's about finding the right balance for you and being flexible in your approach. Sometimes, what worked yesterday may not work today, and that's perfectly okay.
Hustle isn't inherently negative. It's about working hard, but it should be balanced with self-care, flexibility, and adapting to the different seasons in your business and life.
