Patrick Bet-David argues hunger is urgency, not desire. He points to Elon Musk's relentless work ethic as the model, then explains why small daily actions beat waiting for motivation to strike.

How do you measure somebody that's the hungriest? You know what's the number one way you measure somebody that's hungry? Very simple. Their sense of urgency. That simple. Let me explain to you why. People say, "You have no idea how hungry I am." Really? Yeah. What'd you do about it today? Oh, not today, but tomorrow I'm going to— You ain't hungry, man. You just think you're hungry. You are not hungry. You may be hungry to go eat lunch. You may be hungry to go have dinner. Fine, I'll give that to you. You ain't hungry to compete in the marketplace because a person who's hungry, this is how they work. I was watching an interview earlier of Musk years ago. He said, I don't recommend you wanting to be like me. He says, because you don't know how many hours I work. You don't know what it's like to be thinking about wanting to win. You don't know what it was like every night going to sleep, you know, thinking Tesla's about to go out of business. But as long as Musk is behind it, he is so flippin' hungry, which is urgent. He's so urgent about executing things now that no matter what he touches, it's going to grow because today he's hungry.
Even if it's not 100% your best effort every day, at least making small steps, small strides towards what you're trying to achieve, especially when you don't feel like it. Successful people don't always want to be doing what they're doing, man. Just do stuff every day even when you don't want to. Pays dividends.
