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?

💯 just work and make a little progress every day. You’ll be depressed about how little you get done in a week but you’ll be amazed at what can get done in a year. Don’t kill yourself, take a look in the mirror every few weeks and take stock and see if this is actually what you want to be doing.
Everything else is luck & talent, which you have almost no control over (yet!).
A lot of advice seems to be like diet advice, in the end if you do some exercise and keep it up it’s probably the right answer. Don’t optimize too early.
