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?

Mmm depends on the person.

Really shitty mindset for someone who can't stay committed or discipline. Motivation is fleeting, so if that's all you have to go off of (aka no discipline), it won't be easy to succeed.

After consuming some of the "hustle porn" content, it really changed my life, but only because I applied it and established discipline. 6 months of $0, then the month after I signed $160k in contracts with zero expenses or overhead.

Hustle porn comes from many different directions, so people try a million things, instead of sticking with one.
