Stop Watching the Scoreboard—Do This Instead

🧠 The Hustl Mindset

There was a time I obsessed over the numbers.

Revenue.
Follows.
Open rates.
Stripe notifications like they were lottery tickets.

I’d refresh dashboards like a day trader with too much coffee.

And when the numbers didn’t move?
Doubt crept in.
“What’s the point of all this?”
“Am I even getting anywhere?”

That’s when I came across a quote from legendary Alabama coach Nick Saban:

Boom.

That hit me right in the funnel.

So I made a decision:

What if I focused on just getting 1% better every day?
What if I showed up for the process—not the prize?

Instead of obsessing over the result…
I built systems.
Dialed in my habits.
Improved my craft.
And stayed consistent.

Funny thing?

When I stopped chasing the numbers…
They started chasing me.

Play the Long Game, One Tiny Win at a Time

Here’s what 1% better looks like:

• Writing one better headline

• Sending one more email

• Fixing one funnel step

• Asking one smarter question

• Helping one more person

Do that every day?

That’s 37x improvement in a year. (Yeah, math is wild.)

So stop asking, “How fast can I win?”
Start asking, “How can I get a little better today?”
