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?

    What was your post , if not hustle porn? I got 25k a month and feel nothing… not exactly a fount of knowledge.

    I don’t disagree with your sentiment but I also don’t see it being any different than posts that make an attractive sales number and prove no real value.

      I thought my initial post was the opposite of hustle porn. I’m not glorifying money at all. It’s quite the opposite, the money didn’t change me and left me just as lost as when I’d started.

      But I see how it could be considered hustle porn, albeit not my intention.
