The Self-Employed Life 234: Neil Patel- Achieving the Hustle Sweet Spot
We hear a lot about both hustle, as well as the balanced life these days, and it can be difficult to understand how the two work together. If we are supposed to be hustling, is it even possible to lead a balanced life? Which of the two should we be striving for?
Today we have the incredible Neil Patel on Creative Warriors to talk about his new book, "Hustle." This book takes a deep dive into what it means to hustle, why it is valuable and even essential to success, why creativity is such a vital ingredient in hustle, and even where hustle fits into a balanced life.
Neil Patel is the co-founder of Crazy Egg and Hello Bar. He helps companies like Amazon, NBC, GM, HP and Viacom grow their revenue. The Wall Street Journal calls him a "top influencer on the web," Forbes says he is one of the top ten online marketers, and entrepreneur magazine says he created one of the 100 most brilliant companies in the world. He was recognized by president Obama as as a top 100 entrepreneur under the age of 30, and one of the top 100 entrepreneurs under the age of 35 by the United Nations.

"You're going to make mistakes and fail. The ones who succeed keep at it. Whenever you make a mistake learn from it. Over time, you'll learn most of the mistakes people make, and how not to fail." - Neil Patel
Highlights -- You will fail, but learn from every failure, so that over time you understand more and more of what not to do
- More important than living a balanced life is finding out what is important to you
- Often, living a balanced life is a result of the hustle early on
- Creativity is required for hustle
- Action and hustle is what allows you to manufacture luck
- Life is a roller coaster with ups and downs, but over time you'll find your groove
- If you don't put in the time and effort over time, you won't succeed
