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?

Hey man, great message, I can't agree more.

Honestly my issue is that I don't know what to do 😅

Where and how do you meet people? what do you do? I try to continuously be learning and doing projects and things, learning and gaining skills, but it feels like I am in a vacuum. I just moved, know no one, I'm in a pretty good area, but outside of studying and projects, I'm stuck.

Any advice or guidance would be incredibly appreciated
