How did you handle the intense hustle during the early days of your career?

I always compare it to taking a plane off the ground. At the start, it takes a lot of fuel—it's intense. But once you're in the air, things cruise a bit more. I had to go really hard early on—almost autistic level of focus—and that intensity got me off the ground. But eventually, I had to learn to relax the schedule, find hobbies, and that's when I actually made more money.
