[@MaiOnHigh]

already got in on the first day release! And I absolutely agree... Once I went more into "fulltime youtube" I realised how my life became better and how I don't really need that much. It is pure freedom and I feel much better once I stopped the ":hustle culture:" on myself... even though I went there the hardest when COVID hit. I have never before worked so much... and for such bad money :/

As a 21 year old guy who manipulated by that hustle culture, I wanna thank you for comfronting me with the truth.

[@epbrown01]

Two points struck home: I think you really do need to hustle when you're in your 20s, but you need to set a realistic goal and then ease up when you get there. I worked 60-hour weeks for 4 years to build up a $100k portfolio - then relaxed. I was still contributing to it, but that initial amount gave me a sense of financial security that friends living paycheck to paycheck didn't have. It also let me help friends out - I loaned a friend to money to open a restaurant, and it was great helping him reach that dream. I was able to provide some stability for the group. The other thing is slowing down. A friend of mine was much more successful by our mid-30s - and he looked like he was 50. New friends were always shocked to learn we went to high school together. He'd spent about 10 years working three jobs, and it took its toll.

[@TheMystcast]

Started to hustle when I was 27. Feeling late to the party but at least I won't have to worry about finances past 35

[@naomisbooknook9064]

9-5 jobs pay you for your time so there is no incentive for you to be as efficient as you could be. Your tasks expand to fill the time you have. With my writing, it takes my 1-2 hours to write 2,000 words. That is about as much as I should do to avoid burnout. If I have 8 hours to write it might take me 8 hours. My time is worth way more than a 9-5 can pay me. Once my first book gets published and I’m able to live off that I can spend less time working and make more. :)

[@Abundantiaco]

WOW. I've never thought about it like that. It's crazy that I completely agree based on the whole "it will take as long as I have to do it" philosophy.

[@katielowen]

Regardless of if you make any money or not off your first book, always keep making the time to work on your art/books/etc. 💪🙏💯

[@viktorijanovak336]

Thats how people loose their lives at work. Payed just enough to stay alive, yet giving 80 percent of your prime day time to someone you dont even know. That is hell in my book. I would rather die than spend my life like this. There is so much to do, to try. I have enough material to have something to work with and i dont want to give my life away for a house or a car. If one day i can afford it from just being my self and my own ideas i will have it. If not okay. Life and health is so much more expensive to trade it for some material stuff and status

[@cybershellrev7083]

Hustle culture ruined my love for music production and quite frankly, projected onto my work negatively. Don't traumatize your minds guys. Turn that "hardwork" mindset into "a moment to happily indulge in your peak of interest".

[@AliasEveWatches]

I remember in my 20's I worked so hard trying to go up the corporate ladder, overtime was a daily thing and we pretty much had to cover all timezones from Asia to North America. I went to the doctor one time and found that my health is deteriorating and I just snapped like why am I pouring so much for career and recognition (at this point, financials was secondary). Looking at the bosses, I realized that was not the future I wanted. Now, I'm focused on financial security, less on career and recognition. I think I'm happier now with the mindset change.

[@Abundantiaco]

Happiness is more important than ANY dollar amount. So is your health!

[@manckid7795]

Yeah agreed

[@YogaBlissDance]

I've always always said we should do a 4/3 model...It makes so much sense. This is the rise of what we call in woo-woo culture the Divine Feminine..it's an energy that is about b a l a n c e, rest, listening to ones intuition to ones knowing, to the body, mind and spirit in balance.

After reading some of the books you recommended, I've learned that it's not about working hard but working smart. Recognizing opportunities. And using your skills and knowledge as efficiently as possible. Besides, if you're making money but your mental health and social life is suffering too much, are you really successful? In my opinion, being successful means making money while staying happy and healthy, mentally and physically! :) Thanks for the video Sorelle! Love your content! 😁

Still recovering from burnout after my experience in the hustle culture. After countless years of "chasing the dream" I've finally decided to slow down and enjoy the precious moments that have a tendency to slip away when I'm not paying attention to what is truly important in this life. This video was a breath of fresh air for me. Thank you!

[@scotheman]

I totally agree with this. This self-sacrificing culture is no good. As someone who is self-employed, I highly recommend three day weekends or just working a few short hours a day.

[@DanielAlvarezBicycleGarage]

Hi Sorelle, I agree with almost all of them BUT Gary Vee, he likes to hustle and he encourage people to do it if they want to, but he mostly encourage people to be happy doing what they love to do even if they make less money, He says like "If you are happy talking about SMURF on you tube and make 80k a year the do it intead of making 100k working in a shit office" he doen`t sell the Ferrari life style or so , rest of them do. Not beeing more, thnx for this new content, it is very cool. Big hug!

[@realtalk675]

[@izabellizima]

[@dallasdandigitalproduction393]

@8:45 I had the same realization when September 11 2001 happened. It really made me realize that everything is temporary. Everyone has a "best if used by "date stamped on them, but we cant read it. I think this is why most spiritual teachers emphasize" being here, now". Embracing this moment. If i can do that, then anything i set my intention to do in life is good, bc im making an intentional choice to spend my life with no regrets. That helped me to wake up and take responsibility for myself and my life.

[@RobertoBlake]

This is a good video but Gary Vee has ALWAYS talked about BOTH the importance of self care and priorities. He’s not necessarily talking to someone like your or I when he says HUSTLE, he’s talking to a very specific group of people who complain about the world while doing nothing to change themselves.

[@alexanderlyon]

Agreed! Gary V certainly talks about working hard but also making sure you were doing what you love and taking care of yourself. It sounds like she is acknowledging that shift.

[@ChadveeA]

Agreed - he is targeting a specific group. I always find it funny when he calls out college kids who think life is hard and expect their parents to bail them out.

[@pvarawat]

Good point. Stop generalized.

[@stephaniemanusiwa]

Yes absolutely true!! I love his quote "It's not about how many hours you sleep, but what you do with the time you are awake". Which, Im not sure if it's his quote but he keeps saying this and how his crazy schedule actually makes him happy and fits him as the person he is. He emphasizes on getting enough sleep and working on your goals in a way that best fits you.

[@ganeshkumarrajasundar9729]

Yes, if there's anything I learned from Gary it is Patience. He talks about a good mix of both hustling and self care.

"What you actually need to be free" was mindblowing!

[@Nina-sv7oj]

Thank you for this. An hour ago I was crying on the floor because of the stress from working too much and worrying about not doing enough to make more money. I didn’t even realize that my fear of not having enough could be from my childhood but you saying that really opened my eyes. I’m 21 and have been studying and started my first job three months ago, and I’m already burning myself out because I feel I’m not enough.

[@iamrrebel]

I also think the HUSTLE CULTURE is very toxic! We really need to prioritise the understanding of why exactly we are striving towards financial freedom. Let's not fall for the mirage painted by some icons that your problems are solved once you’re rich enough to buy cars and houses. Family, health and enjoyment through the journey are what makes it worth it. let's not forget that. Thank you Sorelle Amore!

[@teocrawford]

Question here: Speaking of overworking and long days without a break, which is something I struggle with, don't you think this was a huge contribution to your success? You are giving the advice to stay away from that lifestyle, yet from my perspective I see you and what you have achieved in those years and wonder whether it's realistically possible, if I don't go the same route... I guess I'm afraid that my plans will not work out, if I don't put in this amount of effort. It's not like I'm mindlessly overworking myself - just all the projects I'm working on simply require all this time. Thanks for the advice you shared in this video - I'd love to read your thoughts on my question🙏🏼🤗

[@InnerResearcher]

I hear where you're coming from, but she's mentioned multiple times that she was hustling indeed for years to make it, and she did, and that's why she's here. However, it came at an expense. + she just mentioned that everything requires sprints :) So with her YT she might've sprinted for 2 years, but now she's resting!

[@howtoadultschool]

I think there's a balance between the two that isn't discussed enough in videos like this. I think it's natural and normal to have periods of hustling (like when you're starting and growing a new business) but then it's important to learn when to stop hustling when you've met the goals you set and made progress, instead of continuing to work from a place of fear or constantly needing more. I do believe it's good to work hard for certain periods of time though.

[@danielalani5356]

Sorelle, I Can't even begin to express how much I love this video! I switched my mentality from the hustle culture back in 2019 and this year I got in touch with my spirituality and I am much more content and happy with my life and the goals I've set for myself in the future. I now follow inspired action instead of forcing my wants (manifestations), and I found a lot of inner peace with that. I love seeing your evolved spirit. Much love 🤍🙏🏼

Your video touches me a lot because I recognize myself a little in what you say. I am a student on vacation and I just can't stop working and I don't understand why. In the evening, I drink to sleep and in the morning I take so much coffee to keep me awake and to continue my day but the worst thing is that I know that I have to stop but when I do so and I force myself to take a break , I blame myself so much and I feel so guilty for not doing anything when I have time to do it that I start working again and it drives me totally mad in every way. I'm losing my mind. If anyone has any advice on how to take a break without blaming himself, I'll take it. And btw Sorelle, your videos help me a lot so thanks for that =)

[@TruthFrequencyNews]

For those just starting, I say, each of those bills can be goals. Start with growing income to cover power bill per month, then another bill, if diversified, you can eventually have small multiple streams covering expenses. That steadiness will relieve so much stress, knowing those necessary bills are taken care of. If another economic crisis, like the pandemic happens again, the loss of the day job won't be as devastating.

And then I open KZbin and this video was recommended. Magical.

[@giancolabird]

Love your vids. One thing you mention I have heard for years. Buy a home, rent it and let others pay the mortgage. My son did this and found a nightmare. People had fantastic credit report and no criminal background. They were horrible. They complained about the tile in the kitchen being out of date and insisted it be replaced. He refused. He replaced the furnace per their request and they promptly removed a panel that negated the warranty. The list goes on. Legal fees are expensive. He forgave the last 2 months rent to get them to move. He sold the home. Thankfully he did this before people were told they could not be evicted if they did not pay rent as I am certain they have paid nothing to their current landlord for the entire time. How do avoid these type issues. He had a management company and they did nothing.

What I am hearing is that your hustle years provided you with a choice to now work less. The problem is people usually get forced into hustle or accept that they are gonna live month to month for the rest of their lives. Basically if you dont make a good salary by the time you are forced to go live on your own then your only choice unless you wanna live month to month is to start the "hustle"/ work a 9 to 5 plus start learning or starting a bussiness after those hours

There's definitely a balance that needs to be had when you're in the transitional period between working "for the man" and being an entrepreneur. I'm currently at that stage. I have a full time "day job" where I work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, and then I come home and work on art for 3-4 hours a day because my goal is to have my own art/creative business and e-commerce store. Art and designs don't just make themselves, so I have to put that work in if I don't want there to be a lapse between when I leave my job and when I start making money in my business. For a little while, I was also working on creative things on the weekend, almost 8 hours both days, to try and hustle and get things done, but it's much nicer to have a couple days of fun/rest instead. Definitely looking forward to the day that the only work I have to do is towards my own business, and not putting hours in with another company doing work I couldn't care less about. I joined The Order, and I'm so excited to see what you have in store!

[@howtoadultschool]

I agree with you. I think it's good not to fall into a pattern of constantly hustling, but there are definitely points in life when working hard is necessary and good (like starting a new business) and we don't need to be so afraid of periods of hard work. I think the problem arises is when these hard work cycles become behavioral habits that people are stuck in once they've met their work goals.

Developing anxiety, panic attacks and even depression to a breaking point. I think we should learn to manage money better and become more content and find joy in what we already have. Stop following the Jonesses, your peace is more worth than a Ferrari. Be happy with simple things, they are free, become more spiritual, because nothing outside of yourself is absolutely necessary. 🙏

Amazing information! So very true! Time and health need to be very high priority! The “pay yourself first” mindset of financial success should be applied here!

[@Abundantiaco]

Thank you!

[@Dalalifyy]

Yess finally someone gets it! Hustle mentality is really draining

[@Abundantiaco]

Very much agreed.

[@VIDSTORAGE]

If the Hustle is enjoyable and fun, it is great and creative in that way, I have pushed myself physically mentally beyond the max ...The change is is when you get into trouble with debt and incoming problems that come out of nowhere with deaths of family members and problems that show up like a Black Swan Event that takes the wind out of your sail that causes mental problems ... After that the Hustle is a ball and chain that you have to live with or give up on and cutting time off work if possible is the best way to deal with life if you can avoid losing what you have worked for.. ....

[@Yuki-nz5xy]

Hustle culture and a must-have-it-all figured out is literaly destroing my health. Constant pressure, stress and anxiety are creating bad health conditions.

[@pigskinleather9074]

I’m very torn. I 100% agree in needing time to rest and grow as a person, focus on my health and my family (I want to enjoy time with my mother and have her enjoy her life while she still can), enjoy nature and the world and treasure my relationships. But I also want to keep my full time job currently so I can save to buy my dream house and start investing while taking on study and a side traineeship so I can grow myself in an educational way and open my career opportunities down the line. Why can’t I have it all haha

[@AnimePerfection]

You can have it all. Just not all at once.

[@madisonraetogo]

I love the bit about seeing how much money we ACTUALLY need! That's a great way to make things more realistic rather than throwing a dart at numbers (which I am currently doing bahaha)

[@alessiabertoldi]

Same same

[@howtoadultschool]

Absolutely this is so true! There's so much freedom that comes from understanding exactly how much money you need in your life, and then once your needs are met you can make decisions more based on your health, well being, and interests. Knowing your basic finances is huge when it comes to creating freedom in your life.

[@fluffbrawl8654]

Thank you so much for talking openly about "the hustle". I have not stopped since I left school. I'm now 32 and in the process of rebuilding my life and walking the path that feeds my soul. If Covid has taught me anything it's to live and not to just exist. ❤❤

[@chrismantonuk]

This was filled with so much wisdom, thank you 🙏 Interesting you mentioned regretting not going out drinking with friends in your 20s. I spent my late teens to mid 20s doing exactly that - partying. I regret it because it meant I dropped out of college and never went to university. The time with friends was nice, but doing that to the exclusion of all else was a bad idea. I’m 37 now and am happy and have a great life, but I feel I would’ve gotten here sooner if I hadn’t spent my 20s partying. It seems that there are regrets in every lifetime, no matter what we do. We just have to make the best of the decisions we made, and try to get better no matter how late in life we are.

[@simranjalan7703]

I agree with you and I think the same way. There is no actual need to put yourself through the hustle culture and burn yourself out. You can achieve much greater experience without having to earn a billion dollars. Once you have calculated the cost of your dream life you will realise how much money you actually need. And trust me it’s way less than what you have in mind.

[@living_silence]

That's so true!!!

[@DJADX]

Working more than 50 hours a week is actually the norm in the service AND cruise industry (yeah, I’ve worked on ships for more than 12 years now lol). But learning that some people can afford working 50 hours/week sounds like a dream, not gonna lie. On the bright side of my job (which requires AT LEAST 80 hours a week in my department - there are some other people working more really) I get to travel the world and wake up in a different country every day 🛳🙌🏽💪🏽

[@dtpennington]

Life is too short to "hustle." I've had loads of bosses who like to romanticize the "grind." Then I would tell them that efficient machines shouldn't grind - they should be well maintained so they outlast you. On the other side, some machines are designed to grind (coffee makers, tree stump removers) - in this case, their goal is to masticate something down to a small pile of waste. Grinding is bad. Don't grind.

[@caqol]

Agreed! Well done and Thank You

[@emila732]

so true, I was working as a graphic designer, I loved Mondays because I was feeling great, the best ideas were coming to my head at the beginnings of the weeks , and on Fridays, I was dying, and only thinking about going home. I think rest is the most important in more creative jobs, but not only. So what is even worst are extra hours at work, the company owners should start to learn about it. About relation ship- I think is different for everyone, I am an introvert and I love to spend my time alone, I do have only a few friends because more will be too much for me XD, and well, I never was after money, but I am this type of person that has millions of ideas in head, I want to do and try so many things and because of that my ex was feeling left behind, I just can't sit and cuddle, there is much more in life and this is my personal feeling. And the knowledge that we are going to die is actually frightening me to the point I want to do even more because I am afraid I won't be able to do in my life as much as I want. I know is also kind of poisonous but that is the side effect of a productive, full of ideas mind :( I am always saying that this is a curse.

[@siddhagupta4605]

This video just changed my perspective, a massive mind shift

[@duuudy]

Hey Sorelle, I was thinking about what you said in regards to focusing on how much expenses you have and then estimate how much money you actually NEED. I think the strive for the "unreasonable wealth" and thus hustle happens because people acquire HUUUGE DEBTS at an early age (student, health or housing relateD), and have difficulties imagining paying them off or accounting for them in their expense budgets. The burden of debt is so mentally draining thus prompting people to want to acquire a state of perpetual independence from it. This desire puts many at scarcity mindset, because people anticipate more ways to get into debt, that they intend to secure themselves from, specifically in the US, such as - health care related costs, relocation, student debt, housing etc. What has helped me tremendously is to plan current debt into my calculations and anticipate unexpected costs and average it out over 10-20 years. It might sound simple, but it takes a lot of foresight, which might feel daunting to many. Please talk about foresight in finances in your future videos, as I find it incredibly helpful for the necessary mindset shift to eliminate toxic psychological prompts that lead to hustle culture.

[@Premchik]

50 hours a week!! Actually, this is already way too much!! I am a firm believer that more than 4 hours of work a day is not healthy and ruins one's creativity!

[@AUGUSTOVAZQUEZ]

I needed to hear your 4th advice today. I am currently juggling a full time job, my own youtube channel, writting a book and a marketing consultancy gig. I do prioritize family time and try to take care of myself as much as possible, but I was definetly feeling burned out. Your video was the first one on the recomended list, now I take 3 big breaths, feel grateful for the priviliged time in my life I am enjoying and thank you for sharing your wisdom. Now, with new motivation... :D I will edit the videos I recorded during my holiday in Croatia! :D all the best Amore! stay awesome.

[@MountainofInspiration]

Balance is everything. Remain tremendously blessed

[@cryptospacemedia5382]

I totally agree. I lost my dad very early in life and found out that I had to find a way if I want a quality life. Took me years to achieve this and later found it better to spend time with family and friends. An when I found out that we all must dies I started seelife different and learnt to enjoy the moment.

[@Lumary]

Thank you Sorelle! 😊 If I could turn back time I would have taken more time to see my family. Life really goes by fast. Have a nice day 🌺

[@Abundantiaco]

Thank you! You too!

[@cassandradavis8240]

THANK YOU FOR THIS! I am barely post-breakdown from the pressure to hustle every single day. I'm so exhausted. Thanks for the reminder it's ok to rest

[@Abundantiaco]

It's DEFINITELY okay to rest.

[@ntwalipat2]

It absolutely becomes a problem when you feel guilty for becoming exhausted! We’re humans! Take some time to recover!

[@winwithwellness369]

I enjoyed the wisdom in this video so much, Sorelle! The best advice out of this is focusing on meeting your monthly expenses using independent income and gradually building more from that, is so practical. Realistic and attainable. Thank you.

[@ChadveeA]

To add to this. Another interesting thing I've learnt from all mighty Tim Ferriss lol - You DON'T ACTUALLY NEED TO BE A MILLIONAIRE TO HAVE A MILLIONAIRE LIFESTYLE. Becoming a digital nomad was the best thing I've ever done. Realizing that I can have some incredible experiences for so much cheaper if I just allowed myself the flexibility to do it abroad. A lot of us get stuck at the "expenses" phase because we are planning around where we live instead of thinking of doing things abroad. You can go skiing, skydiving, go to resorts, enjoy spas, and all that if you give look at the entire world instead of your city/ country.

[@Neujack.The.Demigod]

I do see alot of influencers and i do see alot of people coming out and giving me advice especially on social media and especially with me overcoming so much (trauma, spiritual, and mental etc.). And now that 'm starting this new cycle in my life i feel like I'm getting attacked by like spiritual and life coaching telemarketers so to speak? lol but honestly I really do love following your advice for how much relation and how real you truly are with your education and humanity. I am truly grateful 🙏🏼 tysm!

[@brodygalletti]

I’m so glad I found this channel and information at such a young age. Listening to Rich Dad Poor Dad right now on audible and the lessons are so amazing. So simple that it goes over everyone’s head. I love the fact about being ‘financially literate’ and not many people are. Sorelle & Leon you are both helping me become this and I’m excited for the future ahead!

[@Bigyawner]

Hope you didn't buy it and give the author money.

[@csaelite2399]

This video hits hard. I had to take a new job because of covid and have been beating myself up because I feel it's almost impossible to write my next book. Gotta take a break for sure

[@Abundantiaco]

Yes. Downtime breeds creativity.

[@inthso362]

Given the IPCC report, and the state of politics in the States, I'd focus less on making money, and more on prepping and survival. And if that sounds crank extreme, remember how the shelves were bare 2 months into a pandemic we were rated as being most likely to overcome, compared to other nations; and the fact that the biggest prepper in the world is the US gov't. But it's not for you. Remember TX last winter.

[@TheUduak]

Beautiful video message, Sorelle. I appreciated the vulnerability, honesty, and down-to-earthness of it (especially the part about thinking about death... not just yours, but also for the loved ones with whom we don't spend enough time as we would like). Thanks for the reminder.

[@Abundantiaco]

Thank you for watching!

[@mhv91]

I thought Gary Vee was one of those gurus, but the man respects the human spirit in people. He talks so people commit with their desires and be happy, not successful. Huge difference!

[@crystalheavey5913]

I needed this video today. I’ve just started my own business and I’ve been forcing myself to just keep going with trying to learn how to grow and make it all happen and I woke up this morning just totally burnt out… I wanted to work but I need to rest so I’m watching Harry Potter in bed all day and man it feels so good for my soul. I definitely had been subscribing myself to hustle culture. I think I need to take a step back and slow down 👌🏽 this feels like divine timing hahaha p.s I found you like 3 years ago and you’ve been such a huge inspiration for me on my journey. Its taken me 3 years to get started with my business but I trust I’ve been guided along the right path. Thankyou I love your energy so much!!!!
