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?

    Thanks for the reminder. I just bought a website and am so excited but I also need to realize the growth will be slow or not at all.

    I’m introverted and have social anxiety but I genuinely like reaching people or helping them.

    I kind of did content creation by storywriting back in 2005-06 and I really enjoyed it. I had 3 loyal followers from the Cayman Islands. I was just happy they liked my story but business and side projects do take a lot of effort and thought. The best part is being in control and working on something for yourself.
