Hustle... Make things Happen!

"Can't Knock the Hustle." - Weezer.

Are you someone who is in constant motion, pushing yourself to do things that will help you get the results you so desire?  I call it 'hustle', and to me, it's about making things happen... constantly.  Click on the link below to hear more.

Do you Hustle?

Do you Hustle?
In my experience, very little comes to you unless you create the opportunity for it to. In other words, the actions you are taking right now will influence who you are and what you are doing 6 months from now, a year from now, 3 years from now (you get the picture!).

Take, for example, your education and career.  Most of you reading this are professionals, working in a field that requires certain specific skillsets and education... both of which took time and effort to achieve.   You have your profession because years ago, you hustled, and worked hard to get your education, setting up the opportunities you have today.  When we're younger, we might feel we're 'going through the motions', but the reality is the opposite.  You hustled, got your degree, and worked your way up the ladder.  This is just one simple example.   People who hustle, at least in my experience, are those who enjoy the most success in life.  They make things happen.

Of course,  there are exceptions to this rule.  Some people have 'luck', don't hustle, and still achieve success.  However, some would say that 'luck' is the combination of preparation and timing.... so maybe those who don't hustle actually ARE hustling, in their own way?  Hmmm... tough one to wrap my head around.

So, if you want something , hustle for it.  Put things in motion to create your future opportunities, and don't be a 'one and done' type of person. Stay at it, day after day.  Be the hustle.  And once you reach your goal... keep hustling.  Why? ... because if you don't, you're not setting up your FUTURE success, and someone else who IS hustling will take it from you.  

I leave you with the hustle theme song from Weezer... Can't Knock the HustleHasta Luego Adios!

3 Reasons I Fail to Achieve my Goals

It’s that time of year again!    The New Year is just around the corner, so it’s time for everyone to pause in order to reflect on the past, and make their New Year’s resolutions.   We create BHAG’s (Big, Hairy and Audacious Goals), and drive towards them with a burst of tremendous energy and enthusiasm.   Goals like losing weight, finding a better job, starting a new business, improving money management or improving a relationship are all fairly common.    Inevitably, that energy and enthusiasm begins to falter, usually around the 2 nd or 3 rd week of January, and we’re back to the status quo.   “Oh well!”, we tell ourselves, “I’ll start up again next month.” Sound familiar? I know I’ve done this more times than I can remember, and I’ll likely do it again.    The question I keep asking myself is “Why?”. Why do I fail to succeed at accomplishing things that are so important to me?     Intellectually, and as a linear think...

Desert Running Lesson - Look and Listen!

Starting to ramp up my run volume now for the Leadville Silver Rush 50 mile run, spending more time running in the desert.  Here in Tucson, we have incredible expanses of open desert that's accessible to the public (with a permit), both State and BLM land. You can literally run or ride for miles and miles without seeing a man made structure, or another person. I love the desert.  It's raw and unforgiving in terms of the terrain, the vegetation (cactus are pokey.... ever had a jumping cholla grab you?) and the critters.  At the same time, it's beautiful and unique in many ways to this part of the world. As a transplant from the East coast over 8 years ago, I have a great appreciation for it.  I like the green rolling hills and green pastures of the east, but the mystery of the open desert speaks to me even more.  Combine that aspect with the mountains and the open SW sky, it's just awesome. Now, back to the critters.  In the SW desert, the critters can b...

What In the Heck is Adventures by Troy & Co.?

The Southwest, and Arizona in particular. I love this place. It's wide open skies, the mountains, the nearly perfect weather, the culture.  Let me share with you a little bit of history and why I am embarking on the Adventures by Troy & Co. journey as one of my entrepreneurial endeavors! I grew up in Maryland. I love that place too, but for different reasons. It's where I'm from...my foundation was formed there.  Most of my family still lives in the general area, and it's a great place in which the grow up.  Four seasons, a vibrant culture, proximity to mountains, farmlands, big cities the Chesapeake Bay and the ocean are all at your fingertips.  And let's not forget the I-95 corridor.  Hop on and head south or north, and you're on your way to some of the most interesting and biggest cities on the East Coast. Or, in an hour from where I lived, you can be in our Nation's Capitol, the hub of the federal government and the free world, and some of the m...
