Why do Indian founders glorify hustle over strategy? Everywhere you look—founder interviews, podcasts, startup reels—it’s all about grind, sacrifice, late nights, no weekends. Hustle is the badge of honor. The more tired you are, the more “entrepreneurial” you look. But here’s the truth: Is hustle alone enough? Don’t get me wrong—I’m not against hustle. I’m somewhere in the middle. What’s often missing is strategy. Hustling 18 hours a day won’t help if you’re running in the wrong direction. Strategy helps you ask: • What problem am I solving? • Is this the right market? • Are we spending our time and money wisely? Without strategy, hustle becomes noise. With strategy, hustle becomes focused effort. It’s not hustle vs strategy. It’s hustle with strategy that drives success. Founders need clarity, not chaos. That’s where growth happens.

Ever wonder what separates the top 1% of founders? It’s not luck. Not hustle porn. It’s their mindset, their systems, and their obsession with leverage. They don’t play the game — they redesign it. Founders who get this? Unstoppable.

Scrolling through LinkedIn vs Medial made me realize something: On LinkedIn, it’s all jobs. People post openings, people look for openings. Employment is the currency. On Medial, it’s flipped. People post ideas. They look for co-founders. They want

DAY 9 — Still showing up, even when it hurts It’s been a month since I started reaching out to founders—250+ messages, 100+ rejections, 50+ real conversations. That’s the reality. Today, I woke up tired. Not because of the work, but because of the
