The idea of building a business captivates me. The excitement and stress, and the learning that comes with it.
I have no prospects right now except some time that I'm using to learn, so I'm doing so. I can't wait to try to build something for myself

Do I switch to regular?
Dont forget to count all the little wins, those add up keep pushing
Social media is so fucking toxic. Fucking hate it. Everyone is a “GURU” or an “EXPERT” but really, are just piece of shit scammers praying on the inexperienced youth and sometimes the greedy and lazy. Can’t cheat hard work. Never could, never will be able to. Keep grinding people.
Great post, OP. We need to bring the fun back into the world of building businesses. We need to stop with the dick measuring contests and the net worth bullshit.
I’m working on something to help with this specific problem. I’m going to DM you
Most of them are lying or exaggerating, a very small percentage of people get rich before 50. The vast majority have multiple failures. Just focus on being the best version of you and block out the noise.
Instagram hustlers and coaches made this 1000 times worse.
I had never heard that phrase "hustle porn". That is legit!
"I failed countless businesses"
OP is like 23 years old for context. Trying to give out the old wisdom speech. Relax buddy.
Only thing I'm more sick of than hustle porn are the 10 paragraph brags and victory speeches. Usually comes with a photo on Facebook. Then a fking novel.
Congrats on 25kk MRR. We don't need a TEDTalk. You're not even a Millionaire yet. Save the victory speech for when you're actually rich. Or better yet, don't post one at all. Thx
Personally I tend to avoid anyone that uses hustle in their daily vocab, they tend to be utter shiesters
Honestly I think there are certain "stages" that some people need to go through in their entrepreneurial journey, and the "hustle porn" stage might be one of them.
Hustle porn really helped develop my work ethic and I know a lot of other people personally who have benefited from it as well. That being said, it also did make me work a bit too hard on things I regret.
What is MRR?
Yeah some people really have entrepreneurship confused with get rich quick scheming. Entrepreneurship is about creating value and businesses and helping others…
Everyone wants to be rich but not everyone actually wants to be an entrepreneur, even though most are confused and they think they do
Man to be honest I’ve only just realised this at age 17 🫡
I fail a lot but I do n't learn from this
How do you have friends who are 10 mill at 21?
Very true, it has really been a roller coaster money wise. I’m really starting to break through, and 50k MRR as you call it should be possible soon. It’s just a lot of stress and effort. I get what you’re trying to say tho. If effort equals results, so many would be wealthy.
A lot of people think being rich will be the answer to their problems. But it’s more likely that figuring out the answer to their problems by sheer ingenuity, and simultaneously gaining the ability to solve other peoples similar problems is, the thing that would actually make them rich.
Doesn't sound like you have any real friends, but I could be misinterpreting the situation.
Who the fuck does this for fun? We do this for money bitch.
The revenue alone part drives me nuts if your making a million in revenue but your bleeding money unless your capturing highly valuable market share your literally just setting money on fire.
It’s nauseating being in the business field period for this exact reason. Seems like people fundamentally missed the point of what legitimately good and ethical business is and just want the “get rich quick” solution.
When in reality most the people who promote the hustle/ grind set lifestyle are glorified scam artists. cough cough Gary V.
If you think it’s 🧢 then ask yourself this “are you fighting the good fight?”
This is so very true. I’m at Year 3 in my business and failed over and over. But the best part is the lessons you learn from your failures. I even speak about my failures on my business page bcuz those failures build character and that’s what these TikTok and IG hustle porn watchers don’t understand. Heck even Bezos failed for years. Netflix failed time and time again. They just want the get rich quick path and that isn’t reality or what’s up.
This was awesome
In J. Cole's voice " Love yours, No such thing as a life that's better than yours"
21 with 10 million??? How that's less than .0001 percent
Well all that “fun” ain’t shit when you’ve got team of people around you screaming at you to do the correct logical thing but then you decide to “do you” and cause that failure.
90% of startups fail. Why? Because people take unnecessary and uncalculated risk, they’re arrogant, and they don’t listen to the very people they hired for their expertise.
I was genuinely curious about what weird NSFW fetish "hustle porn" would be and I was disappointed opening this thread.
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.
