Are You Actually Hustling — Or Just Reading About It?
I used to start every morning the same way:
Coffee in one hand, YouTube open, devouring videos on passive income and side hustles like I was grinding.
In my mind, I had a solid strategy.
In reality?
My bank account was dying..
Eventually, I realized:
I wasn’t working. I was just watching other people work.
And maybe you are too.
I know, because that was me.
I convinced myself I was building something.
But a year passed — and I hadn’t made a single thing.
I had ideas. I had plans. I had tabs open.
What I didn’t have… was results.
Eventually, I had to face the uncomfortable part:
Nothing changes until you start doing the boring stuff.
Real hustle doesn’t feel exciting..
It feels like making something no one reacts to.
It feels like silence after you hit “upload.”
It’s not sexy.
And that’s exactly why so many people default to consuming instead of creating.
