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.
