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?

I fail a lot but I do n’t learn from this
Going to share this online, my feelings exactly
It seems most ppl want success just for the flex. I see it all the time. I grew up in mostly affluent areas. I never saw my parents’ generation make money, then immediately broadcast it to the world. Yes, these ppl have nice homes and cars, but this generation is different. Ppl that make no money try to flex wealth. We live in the attention economy it seems.
I grew up in a house and a community that, for various reasons, go out of their way to HIDE any wealth to avoid the appearance of showing off. This can cause some psychological issues as well…but growing up that way it’s strange to see people who just want to APPEAR wealthy even if they aren’t. It’s the complete opposite. 😂
I see the money for the flex stuff on the internet and such, but growing up in a dying midwest town with 10kish population where your options were go to community college if you could afford it, factory work, or military and move away (and I still live in the same town sadly), I have seen so many people try and start a business to try and get out. There are a couple success stories but most don’t make it past the first year, mostly due to lack of customers. Of course a few kids went to a real college but that was due to generational wealth of the established businesses in the town. Also rich people moving to the low cost of living area after gaining their wealth is decently common here.
I never really saw a success for a flex situation here. It probably happened. But I just saw people wanting to escape or get by without having to put 50 hours a week into one of the 30 factories in and just outside the town. I think the graduating class for the college hasn’t exceeded 50 graduates in a hundred years. I have definitely experienced the hustle porn but only online due to where I live.
Jesus what a weird post.
Yeah starting a business for fun is for people who don’t have to worry every day about paying their rent
Real or just Click bait hustle porn does have some inspiration or idea value!
Even the really fake ones make you think… so I say watch in moderation but with a pinch of salt!

Some people lie especially when they became successful but business is all about Money. This is why it’s very important to know about Money and Cash flows in Business…

They ain’t worthless, believe me. He knows what he meant by that.
23yr old 116/120 credits from matriculation…what’s hustle porn.
I’ve never failed more in my life and yet been so successful

Totally agree, but would like to add that we should probably stop judging people’s worth by their financial wealth.
How much money you have is not indicative of whether you are a good or successful person.
