Peter Steinberg built Clawdbot, so now everyone thinks “hustle harder = rewards.” I’m going to annoy you: Most of that hustle is not worth it. Because the reward system is broken. You can ship daily and still lose because: → You’re optimizing for attention, not revenue. → You’re building features for people who don’t pay. → You’re moving fast without measuring what matters. → You’re training your audience to expect free work. → You’re burning your best hours on low-leverage tasks. The USA “grind” mentality sounds good on podcasts. In real life, it often means: you take the risk, someone else takes the upside. If you want rewards, do the boring parts: → Pick one problem. One buyer. One clear offer. →Charge early. Put limits in writing. → Track churn, support time, and acquisition cost. → Say no to “quick calls,” “exposure,” and “just one tweak.” Hustle is easy. Focus is HARD. And if you keep confusing motion with progress, you’ll still be working at 2 a.m. next year, wondering why nothing changed.
