Hustle Culture Won’t Make You Rich

A lot of the people selling hustle culture will tell you that it’s the secret to wealth and success. That it’s what got them to where they are.

Hustle culture is full of highly privileged rich white men and women who can’t relate to a lot of their followers.

The people selling it didn’t use it to get where they are

It’s a lot of hot air

The trouble with hustle culture is that some of the people making money within it aren’t actually selling an independently valuable product or service.

Those running a successful side hustle alongside their job are usually putting very limited hours into it, but generally being very efficient with those hours.

Successful side hustling isn’t just about hard work

Real hustle isn’t glamourous

It’s a hustle that works for many people, and it’s the exact opposite of glamourous.

Hustle culture can be genuinely damaging. We are already too far into the long hours culture, and it’s negatively impacting physical and mental health for too many people. 

Hustling too hard isn’t good for you

Financial success is far more complex than hustling

Those who still believe that those who work the hardest win, have clearly not been paying attention. Success is about privilege, yes, but also about luck and chance, being in the right place at the right time, coming up with a great idea, and having the right support as you try to implement it.
