Welcome to the Level Up Podcast. I'm your host, Paul Alex. I went from being a cop to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day. I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals. Let's win together.

Remember, I have your six. Get ready to level up right now. What's up, everybody, and welcome back to the Level Up Podcast. My name is Paul Alex, and today want to drop some hard truth on you. Hustle alone won't make you rich. You could grind 24-7, but if you're not leveraging knowledge, you're just running in circles. The real winners in business aren't just hustlers, they're actual thinkers.

They use strategy, skills, and knowledge to multiply their efforts. So let's talk about how to stop spinning your wheels and start working smarter. First, learn the game you're playing. When I started my businesses, I didn't just dive in blindly. I studied, I learned how the industries worked, who the players were, and what strategies actually made money. Hustle without knowledge is just wasted energy.

If you don't understand the rules, how can you win the game? Make sure to check out my YouTube channel, officialpaulalex.com for more motivational episodes. Second, you gotta focus on high leverage activities. There's a difference between being busy and being productive. Busy is answering emails and doing tasks anyone can do.

Productive is closing deals, building systems, and scaling your impact. Knowledge helps you identify what actually moves the needle. The hustle is still there, but it's extremely targeted. It's smart hustle, not blind grind. Lastly, invest in self-education. The best investment you'll ever make isn't in stocks, crypto or real estate. It's in your own knowledge.

Every book, course or mentor I've invested in has paid off tenfold. Hustle may get you through the door, but knowledge gets you the keys to the building. You don't need to work harder, you need to work smarter. Guys, what's the bottom line here? Hustle is about the journey, but knowledge is about what unlocks the next level. Learn the game, focus on what matters, and never stop investing in yourself. Thanks for tuning in to Level Up Podcast. I'm Paul Alex reminding you that grind smart,
