Entrepreneurs often fall into the trap of believing that constant hustle is the key to success, but the grind only leads to burnout, fatigue, and disconnection from purpose. The real hidden fountain of youth for entrepreneurs is enthusiasm—a powerful, soul-fueled energy that fuels creativity, alignment with purpose, and boundless vitality. When entrepreneurs embrace enthusiasm as their main energy source, they tap into a deeper, more sustainable power that not only drives business growth but fosters fulfillment and resilience along the way.

Hustle isn't the answer: Why most entrepreneurs have it all wrong

Let’s get real for a second. Most entrepreneurs have it totally wrong. They’ve been conditioned to believe that hustle is the main fuel source for success—that grinding day and night, sacrificing their well-being, and running on empty will somehow lead to the life of their dreams. But here’s the truth: Hustle, when used as the primary fuel source, comes with side effects that can wreak havoc on your business and your life.


Over time, relying on hustle alone leads to burnout, fatigue, loss of passion, and even disconnection from your true self. Hustle might get you short-term results, but it drains your energy, erodes your creativity, and leaves you feeling unfulfilled. You end up asking yourself, Why does success feel so empty?


But what if I told you there’s a better way—a way that turbo-boosts your willpower and aligns you with your highest potential? That secret fuel source is enthusiasm. And when you harness it, everything changes.


Enthusiasmos: The true meaning of enthusiasm

The word "enthusiasm" comes from the Greek enthusiasmos, which literally means "inspired by the divine." It’s not just a fleeting feeling of excitement—it’s a deep, soul-aligned energy that comes from working in harmony with your higher S.E.L.F.—as I coined your Sacred Empowered Luminous Force. When you’re fueled by enthusiasm, you’re not grinding aimlessly. Instead, you’re guided by a higher power, operating with purpose, passion, and vitality.


Enthusiasm is the force that propels you beyond mere willpower. It taps into something greater than yourself, fueling you with boundless energy that feels effortless. It’s the antithesis of hustle. While hustle leaves you depleted, enthusiasm elevates you, making you feel alive, vibrant, and in flow with the universe.


Enthusiasm is more than just excitement. It’s a deep, soul-fueled energy that propels us forward with purpose and clarity. It’s the fire that lights up your path, even in the most challenging times. As Ralph Waldo Emerson put it, “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” When you learn to harness this internal fire, it becomes the ultimate fuel source, allowing you to thrive in life and business without burning out.


The side effects of relying on hustle alone

We’ve all experienced what happens when we rely on hustle as our main source of energy. It might seem productive at first, but over time, the side effects show up:


  • Burnout: The constant grind wears you down, physically and mentally, leaving you exhausted and unable to sustain your energy.

  • Lack of fulfillment: You achieve your goals, but they don’t bring the satisfaction you expected. Hustle has a way of turning success into an empty victory.

  • Disconnection from purpose: When you’re focused on the hustle, you lose sight of why you started. You become disconnected from your higher purpose and true self.

  • Strained relationships: Hustle often means neglecting your relationships, which leads to shallow connections and a lack of meaningful support.


But here’s the good news: You don’t have to live this way. You can flip the script and use enthusiasm as your main fuel source and then turbo-charge with willpower as needed. This will keep you connected to your higher purpose and propel you forward in life and business.


Why enthusiasm is the ultimate fuel source

Enthusiasm is not just a surface-level emotion—it’s a deep wellspring of energy that can power every aspect of your life. When you’re working in harmony with your higher S.E.L.F., you become turbo-boosted with willpower, but without the grind and burnout.


Here’s how enthusiasm radically changes the game for entrepreneurs:


  • Boundless energy: When you’re enthusiastic, you’re no longer relying on caffeine, adrenaline, or sheer grit to push through. Enthusiasm fuels you with energy that feels effortless and organic.

  • Creative flow: Enthusiasm taps into your creative potential, allowing you to generate fresh ideas, solutions, and innovations that hustle never could.

  • Alignment with purpose: Enthusiasm comes from being deeply connected to your core values and higher purpose. It keeps you aligned with your true self, so your work feels meaningful.

  • Magnetism: Enthusiasm is contagious. When you’re fueled by it, you attract like-minded people, clients, and opportunities that resonate with your energy.

  • Resilience: Enthusiasm creates a natural resilience. You’re not just pushing through challenges—you’re embracing them with curiosity and excitement.


The power of enthusiasm: proven by research

Research backs this up. Studies have shown that enthusiasm correlates directly with increased productivity, creativity, and resilience. According to the Harvard Business Review, leaders who demonstrate enthusiasm tend to cultivate teams that are more engaged, motivated, and

innovative. Enthusiasm fosters a positive work culture, one in which people are not just working for a paycheck but for a cause that aligns with their core values.


For high-achieving entrepreneurs, enthusiasm is the difference between struggling in the grind and soaring in a flow state. It’s the energy source that not only fuels individual success but also amplifies business growth, allowing you to connect more deeply with your mission and the people around you.


Working in harmony with your higher S.E.L.F.

When you embrace enthusiasm as your primary fuel source, you’re no longer working from a place of sheer willpower or hustle. Instead, you’re operating from a place of divine alignment with your Sacred Empowered Luminous Force. This alignment allows you to access a higher level of energy that’s sustainable, creative, and deeply fulfilling.


Imagine waking up every day feeling turbo-boosted with enthusiasm, ready to tackle challenges and create meaningful impact. That’s what happens when you’re in harmony with your higher

S.E.L.F. You move through the world with purpose, clarity, and a deep sense of confidence.


Enthusiasm and the rapid harmony pillars

In my Rapid Harmony Pillars, enthusiasm plays a central role in helping high-achieving conscious entrepreneurs achieve success without burnout. Each pillar serves as a foundation for aligning your life and business with enthusiasm as the core energy source.


  • Motive: Enthusiasm is born from a deep connection to your motive—your "why." When your actions are aligned with your higher purpose, enthusiasm naturally follows, keeping you driven and motivated

  • Mindset: Shifting from a hustle-driven mindset to one that embraces enthusiasm allows you to tap into a growth mindset. You see challenges as opportunities and stay excited about your journey.

  • Mastery: Enthusiasm is the fuel that drives mastery. It keeps you eager to learn, grow, and develop, pushing you to become the best version of yourself in all areas of life.

  • Momentum: Enthusiasm creates momentum. When you’re excited about what you’re doing, you naturally build habits and practices that sustain your energy and keep you moving forward.


The science of enthusiasm and Its role in success

A study conducted by the University of Warwick showed that happy, enthusiastic workers are 12% more productive than their less-enthusiastic counterparts. Enthusiasm is contagious—it spreads through your team, your clients, and your community, building a positive feedback loop

of success. Moreover, research by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi suggests that people who operate in a state of “flow”—a state closely tied to enthusiasm—are more engaged, creative, and fulfilled in their work.


For entrepreneurs, this is crucial. When you are enthusiastic, you become a magnet for opportunities. Your energy attracts like-minded individuals who share your vision, and your enthusiasm becomes the driving force behind your success.


How to reignite enthusiasm in your life and business

So, how can you tap back into this source of enthusiasm?


  • Revisit your “why”: Reflect on what drives you. What impact do you want to make? How do you want to feel while making it? Let your “why” reignite your enthusiasm.

  • Infuse your day with joy: Enthusiasm thrives when you’re in a state of joy. Find ways to bring more of it into your daily routine—whether it’s through creativity, learning something new, or connecting with like-minded individuals.

  • Prioritize self-care: Enthusiasm is directly tied to your physical and mental energy. Take care of your body and mind with proper nutrition, exercise, and mindfulness practices. This keeps your energy levels high and your enthusiasm intact.

  • Align your business with your values: Make sure your business is an authentic reflection of who you are and what you believe in. When your business feels like an extension of your purpose, enthusiasm becomes effortless.
