When you hear someone say Jesus was a hustler, you probably think that person doesn't like Jesus. But what if the disconnect isn't the name but the definition of a "hustler"?
Erin Harrigan says that's the mistake most people make. The word "hustle" doesn't mean someone who's deceptive, aggressive, or pushy. To hustle actual means to do something with intention.
"First of all, Jesus is never in a hurry," she said. "He was here to see his mission through."
About 10 years ago, Erin decided to emulate the Jesus hustle. She left her corporate job to focus on molding herself in His image. After a few years, she heard the calling to help other Christian women align their business principles to the Bible.
"I just really felt Him saying, 'Now that I've told you how to follow this map, go show my ambitious daughters how to do this," Erin told me.
Since then, Erin has opened a business coaching program solely for Christian women. She has written the book, Pursuing Success God's Way; The Practical Guide to Hustle With Heart and hosts the podcast Redefining Hustle: Navigating Success as a Christian Woman.
"I love teaching women how they can redefine hustle and experience a level of success and fulfillment without doing what I call business as usual," she said.
Erin is extremely committed to her faith as well as her career, and you can tell by her enthusiasm and high-speed conversation that she is hustling. She offers a lot of wisdom and career advice, which I'm happy to be able to share with you on this week's episode of Chiseled.
