Please stop watching hustle porn (alien.top)

I posted something yesterday talking about how I hit $25k MRR.

Then I got dozens of DMs. Some from people who genuinely wanted advice.

But some others are depressed that they’re not rich. “How can I hit $25k MRR? I hate my life rn!”

Can we please take a chill pill and stop watching hustle porn?! I failed countless businesses. I cried so many nights cause I convinced myself I was a failure.

I have friends who are worth $10M+ by age 21. I have friends who are worth $10M+ by age 31. And I have friends who are worthless.

It’s fucking different for everyone. No need to be depressed or angry at yourself. Just keep learning and growing. I made some of my best friends in the process of building (and failing) my businesses.

Do people not build businesses for fun anymore? Do we have to immediately flex on Instagram in order to be validated?

My job puts me in a position to be around a lot of very successful entrepreneurs, one thing I’ve noticed is the really successful ones never focus on being rich or the money. They’re focused/obsessed with the business or the deal and the money is a by product. Most people who subscribe to hustle porn are only focused on money and being rich. They really have no clue how to get rich but they want it so bad it drives them crazy. I used to be this way and at some point I really started paying attention to how these people I wanted to be like acted, guess what? I’m headed in that direction, I now have opportunities, I get invited to sit at the table with them.

One thing I also want to add is stop trying to hustle everyone, share your success and I promise more opportunities will come your way. Most amateurs only focus on what’s in front of them right now and miss the big picture.
