The Rise & Grind Blog, From Pure Grind Coffee
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.

Hustlers Don’t Complain. They Figure It Out.
You work with someone who complains too much. Your wife complains too much. Your kids complain too much. Hell, you even complain too much. But you need to dial down that negative noise, as it has no space in a hustler’s realm. OK, so your car broke down, you didn’t close that deal, and you feel like you’re just not hitting it out of the park. But sit down, hush up, and identify the problem and create solutions. That’s how you’ll figure shit out and keep it moving.
You’re Not Alone
Yes, it’s super cliché, but fear and anxiety plants inside your brain the idea that you’re the only one dealing with an issue. But we guarantee you, the problem has arisen for someone else before. And they made it through with some damage control and problem-solving skills. Find inspiration in people who have already conquered your challenges.
Frustrations Are a Part of Life
The things people complain about usually involve being annoyed by something, being dissatisfied with a situation, or feeling threatened. You may feel like you are powerless in a situation, but you have control over your own self and your behavior. This energy can build up and cause physical discomfort. Complaining is human nature’s way of releasing the pent-up energy. In reality, all venting does is take our problems and make them someone else’s. Rather than solving a problem, you are just trying to get people on your side. That’s not the best way to blow off steam because the problem is still lingering. You’ve just swept it under the rug, and we guarantee you it’ll resurface. Then you’re just on a hamster wheel and pushing people away with your negativity. Stop spinning on this endless cycle. Hustlers don’t waste time complaining because they know it doesn’t improve their situation. You will gain nothing and lose everything.
Confrontation
Vent to the right person — thoughtfully. If your colleague is causing you distress because they are always late to important meetings, address them directly. A simple and direct form of communication could ease the tension. If you lost a deal to someone else, have a talk with yourself. Why did it blow over? How could you change it for next time? There’s nothing wrong with someone having the same idea and taking it to the next level. This just means they got to it quicker and your come-up is a whole other opportunity. Be patient — your beans are brewing. You can’t pour from an empty cup.
Drink Up
Winning doesn’t happen without losing. Read that again. Fail. Fail again. Fail hard. Prepare, don’t react. That’s how you learn — you don’t quit. Double your efforts and keep it moving. There’s always another day, when you get to wake up again and drink your coffee. You need that blood flowing through your brain and veins. You’ll feel that adrenaline you need to keep it moving. Your body wakes up and you’re unstoppable. Be productive and be valuable. Don’t be a Negative Nancy. If you can’t handle the heat, you’re most certainly in the wrong business.
