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 get DMs from guys right out of college who want to know how I got to where I am with my passive income from a huge referral network. They never like the part where I tell them that it takes 20 years of working really, really hard before you have the knowledge, credibility and network needed to do what I’m doing.

      ^ Yep. I had a guy DM me because he was depressed that he was broke and didn’t run a successful SaaS.

      He’s a 20 year old college student studying pharmacy. Mate how the fuck do u wanna run a SaaS?!

      Congrats on your passive income successes :)
