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 haven’t heard that saying for a long time now. “Business for fun”. Yes everyone going thru mental anguish becoz of status etc. they think itll make them happy. I would love to do business with you. I have family, i take off sometimes to get a break and enjoy moments in life. It is really what you do with life, and how you impact others leaving smiles on their faces. Thanks for your encouragement sir.

      Glad you could resonate :)

      My team took the summer off to focus on family and traveling. Came back and picked up where we left off with no problem. Business can be fun, if you optimize for that!

      Best of luck, stay healthy and happy! 😃
