Contrary to popular belief, hustle isn’t about the grind — it’s about alignment. So what exactly does that mean? According to Elizabeth Dhokia, alignment is when our “thoughts, life choices, and direction all honor our core values. Alignment is when we listen to our intuition and move through the world embodying our true selves. Alignment is function and action with ease.”

While I don’t believe that alignment is what blossoms the hustle entirely, I do think that it can help it grow. Alignment enhances the hustle. Because when your hustle is aligned with your thoughts, values, intuition, and your true self, it has no choice but to grow.

Living in this alignment and bringing alignment into your hustle is the key to working smarter. So rather than working harder by grinding, work smarter by achieving alignment.

Hustling in Alignment

So how do you bring alignment into your hustle? Well, alignment is all about function and action with ease. It’s about listening to ourselves and honoring our values with your choices, direction, and thoughts. You can enhance your hustle with alignment by applying these key actions to your hustle.
