Looking for motivational hustle quotes?

You hear the word ‘hustle’ a lot lately – but what does it really mean? Entrepreneurs do it, millennials are after it, and successful people swear by it. No, ‘hustling’ has nothing to do with scamming or forcing someone to do something (although that’s the original definition).

‘Hustle’ today means going after what you want – by spending all your time and energy on working harder than everybody else. Sounds simple enough, right? In fact, many people claim that they hustle day and night. But you’ll be surprised that they haven’t reached their goals yet.

To hustle means to want something more than anybody else that you’re willing to put in the extra hours of work. Often, it could mean missing out on Netflix binges or setting aside vacation plans until next month. Hustling involves sacrifices.

But it’s in those losses than people can gain what they really want. Even former U.S. president Abraham Lincoln spoke of hustle. Truly successful people throughout history: from Theodore Roosevelt, Frederick Douglass, to Gary Vaynerchuk and Tony Robbins, all hustled to be where they are now.

Got a goal you’ve been dreaming about? Feel a bit stuck in life? Maybe these quotes about hustling are just what you need to get you going.
