But you know what is actually cool? Being obsessed. Building something. The opposite of toxic hustle isn't apathy. It's that you're obsessed with something that you like. Broke people pretend not to care. Rich people get obsessed. If you're saying I wasn't really trying, then you're just hoping that if you fail, people will think it's not your fault. So if you're apathetic, here's my wake-up call. I like the 30-day obsession challenge. I want you to pick one thing you're obsessed with for 30 days. One skill, one income stream, one strategy. Show up daily. That is what it takes to change a broke mindset to a very, very rich one.
