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?

Honestly I think there are certain “stages” that some people need to go through in their entrepreneurial journey, and the “hustle porn” stage might be one of them.
Hustle porn really helped develop my work ethic and I know a lot of other people personally who have benefited from it as well. That being said, it also did make me work a bit too hard on things I regret.
