“Happy Hustle is all about infusing your passion and your purpose to make an impact. I know that those are all buzzwords, but if I break it down, it is doing something that is your inner calling from the divine, that’s the passion. The purpose is who are you serving? Then you make a positive impact while being blissfully balanced in the process.”
“I’ve had to do things that I didn’t want to do either, I wore a banana suit outside of 2 smoothie shops! This was to get the foot traffic as opposed to the car traffic in Florida, it was so hot! But I have done all sorts of things in exchange for money, legal and illegal. The first thing I will tell people is that I have been there, I have done things that I do not enjoy for money. But now I get to do things that I do enjoy, and I am so grateful that I get paid to do it. I truly believe you have to earn the right to do what you love, and you are not going to love everything. Wherever you are now in your journey, that’s ok, but want more and dream bigger, that is the important piece. Then find out where you want to be and reverse engineer it to get to where you want to be.”
“The biggest dream for me right now is I want these 10 alignments of being a happy hustler fridge magnet that has my framework on it, I want that on every fridge in America and then on every fridge in the world. The reason is because I want people off their devices and focus on things that will increase their happiness.”
“So the 10 alignments, they didn’t start as this fully flushed out framework, but it makes up this acronym, soul mappin’, I want you to rank these from 1 to 5, where 5 is where you are crushing it. In the past 30 days, where are you at in these areas:
Add up those scores, if you are a 37 or above, you are a happy hustler! But you must give equal importance to each of these, but focus on each one at a time.
“I actually have the book; 10 habits to achieve the happy hustle and avoid burnout. It’s got pictures, cheesy jokes, and all that stuff. The book is actually free, all you have to do is help out with shipping costs. You can also get the magnet to have the habits in your home.”
“So every day I wake up and I drink my green juice, I hyper hydrate in the morning. I actually suffered from a brain injury where I almost died from carbon monoxide poisoning. Now I take brain supplements to help optimize my cognitive power, but I have always been into biohacking. I also have a rule of every day before I shower I do naked push ups or pull ups. I do as many as I feel like doing, but that rule is non-negotiable.”
“God, my fiancée and the opportunity of life.”
