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?
/end rant
I fail a lot but I do n’t learn from this
It’s social media thats the problem. All this exposure to others success makes our failures feel even worse.
Good on you russelfighter for being so concerned about random people’s well being
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.
net worths of $10M by age 21
“if you’re worth $10Million you’re broke man!”

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.
Man to be honest I’ve only just realised this at age 17 🫡
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
In J. Cole’s voice " Love yours, No such thing as a life that’s better than yours"
Doesn’t sound like you have any real friends, but I could be misinterpreting the situation.
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.
This was awesome
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.
Who the fuck does this for fun? We do this for money bitch.
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.
