Serenity NOW! A Busy Mom's Morning Pure Grind Ritual
Life as a mom can be a whirlwind of endless to-dos and non-stop responsibilities. From the moment the alarm clock rings to the minute your head hits the pillow at night, it feels like you're constantly on the move. But amid the chaos of motherhood, there's a quiet moment of solace that many moms cherish—the morning cup of coffee.
Meet Sarah, a dedicated mother of two young children. Her days are filled with school drop-offs, diaper blow-out cleanups, playdates, and all the joys and challenges that come with raising a family. Despite the hectic pace of her life, there's one ritual that she refuses to skip—her morning coffee, it’s a non-negotiable.
The Morning Prelude
The sun has just begun to rise, casting a soft glow through the kitchen window. As Sarah tiptoes into the kitchen, her children are still fast asleep, wrapped in the tranquility of dreams. The coffee maker sits in the corner, patiently waiting for her to begin the day.
She takes a moment to inhale the rich, earthy aroma of the coffee beans she carefully selected from Pure Grind Coffee. It's a ritual she's come to cherish, a brief respite from the whirlwind of motherhood. The sound of coffee beans grinding fills the kitchen, a symphony of anticipation.
The Perfect Brew
Sarah knows that the secret to a perfect cup of coffee lies not just in the quality of the beans but in the mindfulness of the brewing process. She scoops just the right amount of freshly ground coffee beans into her French press, ensuring a bold yet balanced flavor. The hot water cascades over the grounds, releasing a fragrant steam that dances through the air. Blissful.
As the coffee steeps, Sarah takes a moment to breathe. It's her time to reconnect with herself before the daily shit show kicks in. With a gentle push of the plunger, she separates the grounds from the liquid, leaving behind a rich, aromatic, and delicious brew.
That First Sip
With her coffee in hand, Sarah retreats to her favorite corner of the living room, where the first rays of sunlight peek in through the curtains. She takes that first sip, and a wave of warmth washes over her. A true moment of bliss!
She sips slowly, savoring each moment. It's not just a well balanced delicious coffee she’s enjoying; it's a moment of serenity, a pause in the whirlwind of life. Let the shit show commence!
Fuel for the Day
As Sarah finishes her cup, she knows she's ready to face whatever challenges motherhood throws her way. The kids will soon be up, demanding her attention, and the day's tasks will pile up. But that morning cup of coffee has given her the strength and clarity she needs to tackle it all.
For busy moms like Sarah, Pure Grind Coffee is more than just a beverage; it's a lifeline, a source of comfort and energy, and a reminder that even in the busiest moments of life, you gotta take the time to savor the little things.
At Pure Grind Coffee, we understand the importance of those morning rituals. That's why we're dedicated to providing you with the finest, freshest coffee beans that make every sip a moment of bliss. So, whether you're a busy mom or just someone who appreciates a damn fine cup of coffee, take a moment to savor the simple pleasures in life—starting with your morning brew.

The Subtle Art OF True Coffee Snobbery
Welcome to Pure Grind Coffee, where we believe that being a coffee snob is more than just a preference – it's an elite status. If you're a coffee lover, you know that there's nothing quite like the taste of a perfectly brewed cup of coffee.

Grind Those Pure Grind Gourmet Beans Like A Boss.
Coffee snobs, unite. Class is in session, so sit your asses down for the most important life lesson you’ll ever need. Learn how to grind the most bitchin’ batch of Pure Grind Coffee. You don’t half-ass these things all willy nilly. We’re coffee-obsessed, making us care deeply about the art and craft of the snobbery. The beans are freshly-roasted awesomeness for those who kick ass every day. You’ve committed to the bad-assery, so it’s time to do those beans good by grinding them right. Respect them by indulging in their most natural form: dark, pure, and rich. Take your hustle to a whole new freaking level with a darn good grind.
Badass Bladery for Grinding
If you want a magical cup of heaven, it all starts with freshly-ground coffee. Nobody wants craptastic coffee — charred with a hint of sink water. It all starts with the single-most-important equipment in your coffee and hustling game: the grinder. These days, there are a ton of options. So to help you out, we’ve narrowed it down to the most common types.
Hand Grinders
Hand grinders are perfect for anyone pinching pennies. We get it — the hustle is hard, and sometimes we have to start at the basics before we can appreciate the top of the line. You’re far from basic, but the hand grinder is the best option to get yourself going. Plus, with the amount of arm exercises that come with grinding, it’s a great way to get your morning workout in.
Blade Grinders
Wake up with a high-speed whir. With rotating blades similar to a blender, this grinder will ground up those beans real nice. If you’re brewing on a budget, this is your best bet, as they are low in price but get the job done better than a hand grinder.
Burr Grinders
Slowly grind your beans into even pieces with a handy-dandy burr grinder. The burr consists of two circular abrasive surfaces that chop the coffee into more consistent grounds. Choose from a manual one that allows you to crank by hand or an electric one with different functions from coarse to fine. Electric burr models typically cost more than blade grinders.
The Best Way to Brew
After the grinding comes the brewing. You need a French Press. Screw anyone who calls you a snob or an elitist. Wear that crown with pride. Ditch the paper filter nonsense that does nothing but suck the soul out of your beans. You need this device to properly feel that caffeine course through your veins. You’ll be doing your part for the planet and your body.
Grind Like a Hero
Do right by those beans. The beans deserve it. Hell, you deserve it. The cup of coffee isn’t the win; it’s the beans that truly matter. And don’t forget — if you purchase our Coffee Snob Deluxe Kit, you’ll receive the blessed French Press AND grinder. Snag yours now so you can elevate your hustle with Pure Grind Coffee.

Creating a Morning Routine when Life Gets Chaotic
Motivation doesn’t come from drive; it comes from consistency. Getting up and doing the same things over and over — practicing your craft until it becomes second nature. Motivation is a rhythm and roll; it’s promising yourself every morning when you wake up (sometimes out loud to make it stick) “I’m going to get X, Y, and Z knocked out however I can. I know by accomplishing those things, I’m one step closer to my goals.”
No, that’s not the sexy definition of motivation that people use to sell bogus self-help books. It’s the honest one.
Motivation thrives in the morning. That’s why a consistent morning routine is so crucial to success — or even simply maintaining your mental health. Because as much as some self-proclaimed badasses say they ‘thrive’ on change, the truth is that humans need structure in their lives.
Night Owls, don’t turn away just yet! This applies to you, too. You might work best in the wee hours of 1 a.m. or later, but a consistent routine in the morning (however you define “morning”) frees you up to be creative busybodies later at night.
We wanted to pull together a handful of our favorite tips on creating morning routine and sticking to it — even when life and the world get chaotic.
Strip your schedule to bare bones — then rebuild.
We humans have a tendency to make our lives way harder than they need to be. We get glued to our phones, ready to tear into complete strangers on the internet for 40 minutes of our morning instead of, ya know, showering. Or we do the opposite and overschedule our mornings to where we have to get half our to-do list checked off before we’re ever out the door.
Take a good, hard look at your morning routine. What can go? What could wait until you get home? What’s eating up a lot of your good energy first thing? What puts you in a better mood before you get started with your day?
Do the neutral tasks and chores that have to get done (i.e. brush your teeth, straighten your bed). Dump the mess that raises your blood pressure first thing in the a.m. (i.e. getting into political debates with JoeMerica926304). Invest in the daily tasks that make you smile (i.e. savoring a cup of coffee).
Stop making promises to yourself.
“Tomorrow is the day I’m going to wake up early and instantly become a morning person!”
Making promises about a new-and-improved morning routine creates more frustration when you don’t meet every single one of those expectations. No one goes from oversleeping your alarm to suddenly waking up an hour and a half earlier, drinking lemon water and doing yoga. Morning routines take time to establish. It takes anywhere from 40-60 days to create a habit — and that’s just one singular habit!
Rather than disappointing yourself with broken promises, try this: celebrate one little thing you did each morning. Pat yourself on the back for drinking a full glass of water after waking up or for stretching. Celebrating even the smallest tasks sends a subliminal pat on the back to your brain, coaxing you to do more to get more positive reinforcement.
Try the 1-minute rule.
Anyone can do anything for just a minute. If you spot a task needing to be done and it can be done in about a minute, do it. Bed? Made. Shoes you always trip on by the door? Put them in your closet. Dishes you keep forgetting to bring down? Take them downstairs before they bring in ants. You’ll be surprised how easy it is to default to getting 1-minute tasks done as soon as you see them.
And for those who are addicted to competition, set a timer for 20 minutes and see how many one-minute tasks you knock out before the buzzer dings. Do that a couple times a week, and not only will you have a cleaner house, you’ll feel more productive and (wait for it…) more motivated!
Trying to create structure amidst chaos might seem impossible, but it’s not. Take time for yourself to evaluate what really matters, and invest in those things. And if that investment also happens to include a cup of high-quality Pure Grind coffee, well… we think you’ve added an excellent choice to your morning routine.
What Your Favorite Seasonal Drink Says About You
It’s that time of year again when the outdoor temperatures begin to drop, and you might start to be enticed by a hot, heart-warming cup of joe. As the seasons change, so do your coffee preferences, unless you’re the chilled-to-the-soul type who’ll gladly enjoy an iced coffee in freezing temperatures. Time to face the truth —- we may not mean to, but we judge the coffee orders of those in front of us in line. Whether you think their order is too sweet, too bitter, or just downright strange, here’s what their seasonal drink choices say about them.
Peppermint Mocha
You start putting up your Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving, and by December 1, the whole roof is covered in lights. You enjoy the finer things in life and tend to be a little extra —- but aren’t we all?
Dirty Chai Latte
You have an extensive knowledge of indie movies and rotate three pairs of non-prescription reading glasses. You use the same blanket you’ve been using since childhood to curl up on the couch and relax to achieve maximum comfort. If it’s not broken, why fix it?
Hot Chocolate
You have a lot of stuffed animals. You blow on soup that's too hot. You love fuzzy blankets, fuzzy slippers, fuzzy jackets.
Caramel Apple Latte
You are warm-hearted and a friend to all. You take in strays and volunteer at the library in your free time, and you will cry if someone yells at you.
Salted Caramel Mocha
Fun-loving and witty — you never miss an opportunity to tell a dad joke. The only way you know how to flirt is through slight insults. Just like the drink, you’re sweet, but also a little salty!
Gingerbread Latte
Protective over the little things in life, because you want to wrap everyone and everything you love in bubble wrap. You are a perfectionist, and someone who always has to have the last word. Favorite hobby is binge watching Black Mirror on Netflix.
Eggnog Latte
You host the extravagant Christmas party people are dying to go to. You love being the life of the party, and you are the king/queen of the people pleasers. You dye your hair but decide that you want to change it back to the original everytime.
Apple Cider
No caffeine? How are you supposed to get your Christmas shopping done without caffeine?! How did you get on this list?!
Regular Eggnog
Not caffeinated, but it's got booze. You can stay.
Black Coffee
Seasons don’t matter to someone who thrives on consistency year round. Hot or cold, you drink black coffee because you’re bold. You don’t like to beat around the bush and are a strong believer in simplicity.
A Firm Coffee Foundation
Whatever your coffee preferences may be, always start with freshly roasted, lively flavored, rich beans from Pure Grind Coffee. Oh, and that eggnog, don’t skimp on the bourbon, it’s 2021 after all. Get shopping!

Bonjour Bitches: Why You Need A French Press
Fellow coffee snobs, it’s time. It’s time to take your coffee snobbery to a whole new freaking level.

A French Press brings your coffee game to a whole new level. Sure. You’ll be called an elitist. Yes, you may be called a snob. But know this, you will have joined a club of connoisseurs like none other. You will have made the BIG TIME.
Coursing Through Your Veins
Coffee is, as it’s a powerful protector of many of your body’s organs, including the blood and gets your blood jacked for the hustle. Experts say the caffeine in coffee benefits the cardiovascular system. A French Press is designed for the raw grounds to directly touch the water, instead of flowing through a filter.

It’s that pure soul that fuels the hustle and tastes freaking amazing. A French Press also elevates your social game. Sure, your tea slurping friends will not understand the power that you’re now wielding, but let’s be brutally honest, are tea drinkers really good friends anyway? Maybe it’s time to re-evaluate your friendships, just sayin’.
Eco-Friendly & What-Not
Do your part to save the planet and stuff by switching to a French Press. You can savor your Pure Grind Coffee and know that you didn’t kill a freaking rain forest that morning to brew your black gold.

Breathe that shit in and revel in it, AND bonus, you don’t have to slap earthy, tree-huggin’ bumper stickers all over your Prius to tell the world how much you care about the planet, unless you want to, of course.
So. Drink Up Bitches.
You’ve come a long way friend, and if you made it through this post, you need to snag a French Press NOW. If you snag one of our Coffee Snob Kits, it comes with your very own French Press.

Bring Your Hustle Home
It feels like we’ve been working from home forever. We’ve killed damn near every germ we’ve come across, and our hands are peeling from all the sanitizing. Although some gyms, breweries, and salons are opening back up, life just isn't the same and neither is the hustle. It might feel like the universe is closing down on you. You’re a hustler, so you can’t stand the feeling of being unproductive. But just know that with the virtual time we are in, it’s important to take your hustle online! Continue managing your brand identity and build trust with your community during these crazy times by getting your business on the internet.
Fire Up The Blogging Machine
If you’re not already blogging, what are you even doing? Blogging is essential in business and marketing. Your writing will give you more visibility online and establishes you as a thought leader, which will create growth in your business. Plus, it drives traffic to your site, helping your hustle stay alive. When all of this passes and things start to open up again, you’ll want your audience to remember you and come to you during the good times.
VLOG The Hell Out Of Your Hustle
Videos are the way of the world right now. The set-up can be as simple as your iPhone placed up against a stack of books, or your laptop open right in front of you. Seriously, even musicians are releasing social distancing music videos made on Zoom and FaceTime. It’s the aesthetic. Don’t focus on perfection; just get the content done. If you’re a brewery, for instance, do a DIY video for your regular bar patrons to brew up the good stuff at home. People want visuals. They want to do all the same things they were doing before — and they need you, the expert, to be there for them and let them know they can do it. Get creative, demonstrate your know-how, and build that trust and relationship with your client base.
Get Your Voice Heard With A Podcast
Your audience should be able to digest what you’re putting into the world in all sorts of ways — reading, watching, and listening. Podcasting gives your audience a whole other platform to consume your content. You don’t need fancy equipment, and you can record remotely. With just a click of a button, your clients can get the juicy information they need right from you. And it gives them something more to do while at home!
Sharing Is Caring
After you’ve got your content created, it’s time to get it all online. Share links and spread your message on the proper social media channels that work for you. Clearly, if you are a brewery, you may not want to be posting on LinkedIn. However, Instagram is a great place to give tutorials to your followers. If you’re a personal trainer, post some workout videos to get your clients moving. If you’re a hairstylist, help your clients manage their quarantine hair for their virtual meetings. Either way, your audience needs you, and the hustle never stops.

What Freaking Day Is It Today?
It’s day ??? in quarantine. Hair is not washed. Clothes have not been changed in days. Did I even put deodorant on? I think I brushed my teeth, but who knows. My nights have now turned into sitting on the edge of the couch staring at the ceiling. Sometimes the wall. Sometimes the floor. Depends on the mood. I need a nap, but in between playing with Tommy’s toes and cleaning Karen’s messes, there is no time. There is NO time.
Viruses Suck
I’ve been thinking a lot about this virus horseshit. Not only are we surviving a novel disease, but we are surviving the quote “home-based learning.” Coronavirus school closures have turned us parents into teachers of the freaking of the year, and I sure as hell don’t remember asking for a career change. Like why does it matter what 26 + y = x is? We spent our lives learning algebra and we never even freaking use it. So why do I have to teach it? I just want to tell my kid, just be stupid then. We are not built for this!
We’re ALL Going Crazy
After this, I promise to never cancel plans with friends, be too busy for a date night (although I want to kill my husband...), and I sure as hell will appreciate my child’s teachers more. Give them all raises. Teachers are not paid enough. I know now from personal experience!
When someone asks me if I am okay, I laugh maniacally and twitch an eye. Check on your homeschooling moms. We are not okay.
Mommy Needs A Little Freaking Quiet Time
Tune the children out. Hide in your closet. You’re probably thinking about partaking in God’s favorite juicy lettuce for the first time, a shot or 8 of Jack Daniel’s, a couple hits of CBD, but the fix you REALLY need is from Pure Grind Coffee. We are as essential as the rest of them. We’re not sure what day it is either, but with our coffee, it doesn’t matter. While sipping this delectable magical juice, counting down the days until school starts again will become more tolerable. It’s not a cure, but it’s a critical tool in your parenting kit. We are in this together. Now drink up because you have to clean up the paint little Karen put on the walls, and stop little Tommy from eating chalk.
Snag A Bag And Snag Some Sanity
You need these small batch coffee beans in your life. They’re bold. They’re delicious. They don’t apologize for being their awesome self. Our kick-ass beans come from the mountains of Central and South America and boast low acidity with an amazing bold flavor profile that will probably change your life.

Video Conferencing Pro-Tips : Put On Some Freaking Pants
Right now, life is freaking hard. It’s stuck in line at your least favorite coffee chain being served overly-sweetened, burnt coffee hard. But we’ll adapt. It’s what we do. We hustle, we grind, we go with the flow, and we make the most of it. It means learning to work at home, to shut out the noise, the distraction, and get shit done.
It also means learning to navigate how to actually get shit done at home. Meetings don’t stop just because it feels like the world did. Most businesses have chosen Zoom as their video conferencing platform of choice. If you’re new to this whole video conferencing thing, we’ve got your cheat sheet to zooming success.
Put In The Work
Put in the Work First things first — everyone wants to see your dog. Stop pushing Sgt. Fluffers out of the screen, and let them join the meeting. This is your pet’s moment to shine, and who knows, they may have a lot to say on today’s boring assed topic.
Now that you know your dog is more important than you, it’s time to learn how to use the video conferencing platform. Just like everything, there’s a learning curve, and it’s up to you to actually learn how to use the platform.
Scheduling
Learn how to schedule a meeting. We’re all pressed for time, and no one has the twenty minutes to waste while you figure out how to set up the Zoom call in the first place. Quickly schedule a meeting by pressing ⌘Cmd + I on a kickass Mac or Alt + I on a crappy PC.
Angle That Camera
Listen, we know the best part of working from home is that you only have to be business up top. But please, for everyone’s sake, put on some pants — and double-check that the camera only shows you from the waist up. No one wants to see your underwear.
Audio
If you’re not talking, mute your microphone. No one wants to hear the background noise of Sharon’s dishwasher throughout the entire meeting or your screaming parakeet Mikey. Take the time to learn how to quickly mute and unmute your audio. For Macs, just hit ⌘Cmd + Shift + A, and for PC users, hit Alt + A.
Video
We might want to see your cat, but we don’t want to see your cat’s butthole, so learn how to shut off your video without leaving the meeting. To quickly turn off your video, hit ⌘Cmd + Shift + V on a Mac or Alt + V on a PC.
Security
Let’s talk zoom-bombs, the term for when unsavory characters hijack your video conference and use it as an opportunity to share crude and lewd imagery. Most people have been blaming zoom-bombs as a security flaw within the platform, but they’re actually a result of user error. Zoom has plenty of features that prevent strangers from hijacking your meeting, so learn how to use them.
Password
Like most things you want to keep secure, you should set a password for each and every Zoom meeting you create. When you set up a meeting, just check off the box that says “Require a meeting password.” And for the love of God, make it something creative. Every internet troll is going to guess that your password is the company name. At least add a 123 to the end of it.
Unique Meeting ID
Zoom assigns a meeting ID to every conference. If you don’t tell it to generate a random ID, it’s going to use the one associated with your account. This means once someone has your ID, they have access to basically every call you make. Take full control of your meeting by generating a random ID each time.
Waiting Room
You guessed it — Zoom’s waiting room is indeed a waiting room. Attendees wait here for the host to let them in. Someone in the waiting room that you don’t know? Don’t let them in. It’s as simple as that.
We’re living in a different world, but that’s no excuse to stop hustling. Rolling with the punches is what we do. So keep going, keep grinding, and keep making it happen. Now more than ever, it’s your time to kick some ass, and please, put on some damn pants — even if no one can see them.

Coffee Snob Tip: Skip the Long Lines, Buy Pure Grind
It’s 6:45 in the morning, and you’re on your way to a meeting. From the jackass in traffic to your annoying-as-hell client, the Apple Watch on your wrist is buzzing with bullshit you can’t even deal with yet. You’re shaking; you haven’t even had your coffee yet — the sweet soul of your existence — so you’re cranky as hell. On your drive, you spot a big sign for a corporate coffee joint in a shopping plaza. It’s the only one you see around and your GPS says it’ll be miles before you come across another. So, you make the ultimate sacrifice and walk into the marketplace of doom.
What the Actual Hell…
This place looks like it was furnished by a big corp store that makes its generic-looking products in a sweatshop. You prefer the sustainable local shop with pallet table tops, industrial light fixtures, and exposed ceiling pipes. With the minimalist furniture and decor — the way you like it, sitting beside the people who get you. At this trash shop, these people don’t even recycle, man. It’s not your first choice, but it’ll do; you need your fix.
It’s Packed.
Everyone and their freaking mother is there. The line is out of the door, but dammit, you need your fix. The woman in front of you is wearing workout leggings and a shirt that says some spiritual yoga mantra. “20 triple macchiato, make it skinny, decaf, no dairy, no soy, no sugar, no fat,” she tells the bustling barista behind the counter who is quickly trying to note all of this customer’s insane requests. Hurry the F up. Nama-stay out of my way. You’re about to lose your shit now and flip these mass-produced, commercialized tables over.
Finally.
Finally, the time has come; Matcha Mocha Triple DeCaf mom is out of your way and your order comes up. Simple, yet beautifully black. No milk-washed foolishness topped with whipped cream and caramel, mocha, cinnamon sugary-ass drizzles. Pure, dark, and rich. Or so you thought. This stuff is vile. It tastes like charred black water in a damn cup. After tossing that crap in the grass, you make your escape. You’ve have made it out of this hellhole completely unfulfilled.
You’re Too Good For This Nonsense.
You don’t want to put up with this crap. Well, what if we told you that you could skip the long lines with the matcha-drinking yoga moms holding up the line and slowing you down? Ditch that burnt mud. We recommend you become a master barista right in your own dang home. No line, no waiting, no filters, no GMOs, no-nonsense. Just bold, bitchin’ beans, a grinder, and a French Press — delivered right to your door. Snag it all in our deluxe Coffee Snob Kit.

F The Haters
Leadership is a damn staple of the hustlers toolkit. Arianna Huffington said, “One of the greatest skills of leadership is being unflappable. Anytime you do anything in the world, there’s going to be criticism." Leadership comes with many responsibilities, but it also puts a target on your back when failures come around. There are many bad ways to deal with criticism as a leader, so here are some good ways to approach criticism as a freaking hustler.
Don’t React on Impulse
The first thing you’re going to want to do as a hustler is to not react immediately to the criticism. Rather than react impulsively, it is crucial for you to remain calm and take a step back from the situation as a whole. If you quickly try to approach the criticism without thinking, it can only go poorly. So take a step back and breathe before you handle shit.
Don’t Take It Personally
The next step to approaching criticism as a leader is to not take it personally. This isn’t to say don’t work to the best of your ability, but you simply should not worry about what others think about you. If someone is toxic or negative toward you, it’s a reflection of that person. Easier said than done, but releasing yourself from the opinions of others is a major key to being the best hustler you can be. A true entrepreneur rides on their own waves and doesn’t give a crap what others say.
Turn It Into Opportunity
Rather than look at the criticism you’ve received negatively, look at what the criticism represents. Are they right or are they simply blowing smoke up your ass? Whether they’re right or not, take it as an opportunity to turn it into growth. As hustlers, we are constantly growing and getting better, so why not use criticism as a growth tool?
Criticism is going to come all the time in leadership. Any step you take or pivot you approach will be critiqued, nitpicked, and criticized. Be prepared to take the punches and keep hustling just as hard. F what they say. Stay the course and keep freaking drinking damn good coffee.
Let’s Get You Some Coffee.

The Glory of the Side Hustle
It’s the freaking weekend. You’re home from work and you’ve got some free time, but you don’t know what the heck to do with it. You’re a hustler and you don’t want to sit back and watch Netflix; you want to grind. So what can you do? Side hustles are the epitome of being a grinder, as they keep us hungry and wanting more. Get your ass off the couch and let’s do this.
What is a Side Hustle?
Side hustles are money-making opportunities we can do outside of our typical jobs to gain more revenue and a credible reputation in the long run. Most people hone their side hustle over the weekend, but truly, you can put time into your side hustle whenever you feel like it needs your attention.
Get Moving
Now that you can see how a side hustle would be useful to you as a grinder, here are some ideas that might get your mind racing on what you can do. One of the biggest side hustles is flipping items on Ebay or Craigslist. Simply buy a product for cheap then turn around and resell it on eBay for a nice profit! Another great side hustle is the delivery service. Driving people through Uber and Lyft or delivering food through Grubhub or Postmates all require little effort, some patience, and a decent side hustle! If you have a passion or hobby, create a business out of it. Entrepreneurship is the way of the world now.
Pure Grind
Need some inspo? You’ll find it right in your coffee cup. Pure Grind was actually established as a side hustle. Damn right. Our founder is the CEO (and chief coffee brewer) of a very successful digital marketing agency. But he craved more. He lives and breathes damn good coffee and he wanted to sell it to the masses. Now here we are. Hustling bags of beautiful beans and killing the game. You can, too. Awaken by letting that brew boil in your body.
Now that you’ve got the jist of the side hustle, the next time your bored and don’t know what to do with yourself, instead of sitting back and relaxing, keep hustling! Oh and before you’re out the door, don’t leave behind your cup of Pure Grind. It’s the fuel for your hustle.

Screw The Status Quo
It may present itself in many different ways, but the damn business status quo is as popular as ever. First high school, then college, and finally the corporate ladder. This cycle is evident all across the world, but for some people, this cycle is not appealing to them. If you’re one of the people who do not enjoy the idea of this climb, we’ve got some tips for you.
Stay Away from Peer Pressure
The social norm nowadays is to participate in the Business Status Quo. Everyone will tell you you’re crazy for starting a business or launching a product. You will be told you need college to do any of this. The key is to stay focused. The pressure will come from peers, friends, and even family as they see you attempting to veer from the status quo, but you won’t listen because you’re a hustler. And freaking hustlers do whatever they damn please. Be bold like our bag of beans.
Find What You Love
Your freaking passion is what drives you and keeps you motivated to do more. So why the hell would you put that passion to the side chasing someone else’s dream? You could be utilizing your passion for the greater good. If chasing the corporate ladder sounds dreadful to you (as it should), why not go out and find something you love doing and focus on honing that skill? Work smarter, not harder. You’re not one of these peppermint mocha freaks. You’re a rebellious badass.
School May Not Be for You
If the idea of school makes you cringe, then no freaking shame. You most likely have already thought about ditching this status quo on multiple occasions. You’re not alone in realizing school isn’t for you. In fact, Gary Vaynerchuk, an incredible entrepreneur we look up to, has one of his primary school report cards hanging in his office because it was so damn bad. Gary was never great in school, but he realized his issues and turned them into a multi-million dollar business. If school isn’t for you, then keep hustling and doing you. You don’t have to be like everyone else; you could stand out and shine, like our coffee.
As hustlers, we’re going to want to be in the spotlight. Staying away from peer pressure, finding what you love, and understanding what is for you are all keys to staying on top. In fact, we wouldn’t be where we are without wanting to stray from the shitty status quo. Keep hustling, keep brewing, and keep drinking some kickass Pure Grind.

FOMO
FOMO. It’s a word you’ve heard all too much and yet, something you can’t live without. It’s the fear of missing out on experiences when you see other people doing them. It is very easy as hustlers to fall victim to FOMO when in your daily grind, as we like to compare ourselves to other people. Here’s a few tips to ditch the FOMO. You’re no victim. Boss the F up.
Take Social Media Fasts
In order to avoid FOMO, turn your freakin’ social media off so we avoid the distraction of what other people are working on. When working on a big project, attending important events or even before vital meetings, turning off social media may be just what you need to focus on your brand and not think about what other people are doing in your market. A true entrepreneur never compares themself to others. Compete only with your damn self.
Create With the Customer in Mind
It’s very easy in business to see a new tech solution or creative process and instantly get worried about missing out on this new idea or process. However, what people fail to recognize is that acquiring this new tech will typically lead to increased cost-to-consumer. Rather than get overwhelmed by all the new tech and increasing costs associated with it, focus on making the customer happy with what you already have. You might discover that as a hustler, you can make the customer happy without the shiny new things. That’s the real, no-bullshit human-to-human connection.
See Things Through
The biggest problem with FOMO is that people typically like to jump from thing to thing when they fall victim to FOMO. It’s crucial as businesspeople that before throwing our hands up and moving onto the next damn fad, we buckle down and see the strategy we currently have in place through. This ensures that we work hard on what we currently have rather than jump ship whenever shit goes wrong. Finish what you started, dammit.
FOMO is a difficult thing to navigate in business, but if you can avoid falling victim to it, then your business will thrive. Yoda — the OG motivational guru — said, "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering." So stay grounded in your hustle, grab that cup of Pure Grind, and keep things rolling.

"You're Mediocre"
Two words no freaking hustler wants to hear: “You’re mediocre.” Being told by someone that you’re average is one of the worst things you can hear. And it’s such bullshit! Grinders like us tend to think of ourselves as salmon — swimming upstream and doing things your way. Sadly, you were still told you’re average. So what can you do?
Take a Self-Assessment Test
Self-reflection is vital to success. Don’t be above analyzing and critiquing yourself. Take a look at your recent work and see if this person was actually right or not. It could be that we get stuck up on our opinion of ourselves and fail to realize that our work has truly been mediocre recently. Step it up. You’ve got this. You just needed a little kick in the ass. We all have down moments.
Examine The Process
After you’ve taken a look back at your work, take a look at your process. If you have a set way of how things get accomplished in your office, take a look at those methods to see if anything is interfering with your creativity. It’s possible there may be something in those steps that has caused your mojo to become stagnant in your work, which is why someone called you out. Put your pride aside and remake the process.
Put It Behind You
As grinders, we are in the spotlight. We work our asses off to ensure success in our businesses and work even harder to spread our recognition. If you’ve been introspective and find your process to be solid, then it’s very possible this person is just another bump in your road. Being in the spotlight comes with its highs and lows. The trick is to not get too high on your highs and too low on your lows.
Let’s be real — you’re going to get roasted from time to time. F the damn haters. Drown out the negative noise. Hustlers don’t dwell on the past. Analyze, adjust, and ass-kick your way to the next step. You’re a Pure Grind hustler, AKA anything but the average, basic, pumpkin-spice-drinking tool. You’re bold, you’re bad, you’re unapologetic. Turn the heat up and keep pushing the freaking envelope.

Keep The Pressure On
You did it — you bagged that killer deal you’ve been working on for months. All your pumpkin-latte-drinking coworkers want you to go out and celebrate the new achievement. But screw that, you’re a hustler, a coffee snob, a freaking purist. While they are adding bullshit whipped cream to their coffee, you’re bold AF. In your mind, this achievement is simply another rung on the ladder of your success story and now you’re ready for the next damn step. What should you do now? Sit back and enjoy the freaking ride, man.
Kick Ass All Over Again
So you’ve won. It doesn’t end there. Keep on winning. Thrive on it. Write down more goals, and get moving. Ensuring that you always have a game plan is vital to the grind. Make sure you know where you’ve been, where you are, and where you’re going during your tenure in business. Start small, think big. And like we always say, 10X every damn thing you do. Take your goal of making $1,000 dollars and multiply it by 10. You’re a freaking superstar. There is nothing you can’t do.
Turn Up The Freaking Heat
In getting this new achievement, people will expect you to sit back and relax to reap the rewards of your newfound goal. But that’s what slackers do. You, my friend, are not a slacker. Leave that for people who drink shitty coffee. Instead, turn up the heat and increasingly impress those above and around you with how well you work and succeed. Give the people above you a reason to be pleased in their decision and motivate others to grow their own strategies.
Network, Network… And You Guessed It — Network
People get gigs left and right because of who they know. Why should this be a tactic to keep the pressure on? Because networking with people in power is just as crucial as working your ass off to hit that sales goal. Maintaining a solid network with the people around you is vital to the life of a hustler. Make connections. Bring a bag of Pure Grind, show them what good coffee tastes like, and change the world.
Keep on freaking winning with your favorite F-ing coffee snobs. 10X your shit, turn up the heat, and give your network a taste of what you’re all about. If they aren’t drinking good coffee, are they really your kind of people? You’re better than Peppermint Patty and Candy Cane Carl. Don’t taint your coffee and hustle with nonsense. Share the joy of Pure Grind with your circle. Our brew is pure, beautiful, aromatic, delicious... just as God intended it to be.

The Pure Grind Coffee Snob Deluxe Kit comes with everything you need to pursue the coffee snobbery arts. 3 16oz. bags of freshly roasted Pure Grind whole beans, 1 French Press, and 1 coffee grinder. You’ll NEVER drink coffee the same, because, you shouldn’t anyway.
Distractions, Distractions, Distractions.
When you look at the world today, there are freaking distractions almost everywhere. Take driving. You’re on your commute and there are bullshit billboards to look at, there are too many damn ads during your favorite podcast, and then your phone buzzes with a text from a potential client. All of this happens just within your daily commute. It’s crazy to think about how many things we get distracted by on a daily basis. It’s overwhelming to even think about how to turn them off. The key to ending distractions lies within yourself.
You’ve Gotta Focus
Many reports have shown that attention spans are falling quickly. Human attention spans have dropped from 12 seconds in 2000 to around eight seconds today. *gulp* This is an eye-raising number to think about. Something will typically have your attention for only about eight seconds at a time, and once that eight seconds is up, our brains are moving on to the next thing. We don’t have enough time in a day to waste any second on bullshit. It’s why elevator pitches and quick sells have become so common in the workplace. It’s also why you keep falling off your grind — because of the massive amounts of distractions in your world. Change your scenery, and get creative again.
Simple Distraction-Solvers
Now I know what you’re thinking: How can I eliminate distractions in my life right now? Hold on. The first thing you have to remember is that distractions come from within. While there’s plenty of things that could distract you in the outside world, it’s ultimately you that chooses to take them in. So what can you do?
Well, let’s start with the biggest distraction in 2019… the damn cellphone. We love our phones. In a recent study, King University found that the average person touches their phone an average of 2,617 times a day. That’s freaking nuts. Shut. That. Shit. Off. For five minutes, for a half an hour, or for a day. Put it aside and get your work done.
As an entrepreneur, you are going to deal with a lot of BS and a lot of distractions. But one thing’s for sure: Our blend of the best damn dark brew will wake you the F up and help you focus. So drink up — it’s time to kick the ass of any distraction that stumbles across your path.
