- Hustle Culture - The Ugly Truth
In today’s highly competitive world, hustle culture has become the norm. On paper, hustle culture seems good and all but in practice it can be quite dangerous. This video will go over what hustle culture is and my thoughts on whether it is a good thing or not.

"If wealth is the inevitable results of hard work and enterprise, then every woman in Africa would be a millionaire today." - George Monbiot -
:)
EXACTLY!
Its not hard work and enterprise, its hard work, willpower, and opportunity
There are 2 kinds of things in life:
1. Things I wanna do.
2. Things I need to do/should do/could do.
Living life happily means striking a balance between those things everyday.
True.
Well said
Well put.
by the way, hustle culture DESTROYS the heck out of your self-esteem. you're constantly bombarded with messages telling you "if you don't do x you're a wimp" and, because humans aren't machines, we sometimes can't do the things we set ourselves to do. then self-talk changes to "oh, I can't do that hence I'm a loser" which creates a vicious cycle.
Agreed. Thanks for sharing
I love what you shared. I said goodbye to instagram, Facebook, and alcohol for the year to get reentered on what is actually important in life. I wanted to cut out anything that takes me out of the present. I am moving into my van this year to travel and work in film. I want to live a life I love and I think a lot of us are living a life for what the people around them love.
“Working hard is important, but feeling good is important too!”- S.U
Yep
I agree with you. People are very busy but not productive.
There's a difference between busy and productive
Sad but true
1000 % agree. I think its because if people aren't busy they feel guilty.
I have friends who are buying into "hustle culture." They are starting to suffer from anxiety while unknowingly becoming unproductive. Some hustles don't require 16 hour workdays.
I agree
totally agree. Sleep and rest allow you to be more creative without giving yourself time to relax you will never have the ability to exercise your creative muscles.
Back in my day, we had a thing called "work hard, play hard." That's still how I I live.
It's a great way to live
And then 'die hard'

That's u r trash
As someone's who been doing that overwork 20+ hours a day thing since 19, before you know it 10+ years pass you by and you realize how many years you wasted that were better spent actually going out, seeing friends, etc. Thankfully I've found that balance nowadays. Last thing I want is more regrets from not focusing on LIFE too.
Thanks for sharing!
I’ve always considered myself a hustler.. but I never considered that I had to work as many hours as possible in order to be a hustler. I still prioritize hustling but not neglecting your self care. It’s the quality of work you put in when you work.
Yep! Thanks for sharing
work smart, not hard ;)
Elon Musk can say whatever the hell he wants because it relates to him and benefits only him, not his workers. I can understand toiling when it's your own business, but when you're doing it at your expense then tell me who's benefiting the most out of your sweat? At the end of your life, nobody ever says: ''I should've worked more''.
Well said
Tbh I noticed that over time people who are like CEOs businessman have psychopathic traits it makes sense of why Elon thinks like that and is unrealistic for most of us.
I love how concise and to-the-point your videos are
Thanks for the feedback
Work for 16 hours a day for freedom ? By the time you reach a point where the money you made can actually buy you some free time, you’d be addicted and probably have lost many of the connections that makes life worth living.
Thanks for sharing
I love this. well said. You CAN ave both. A balance of life and work.
For many years, I bought into the hustle culture. When I studied, I studied nearly all day. When I started working, I worked ‘round the clock during my first 2 years - and that resulted in autoimmune thyroiditis.
Then, I switched jobs. The hours were shorter and more flexible. But turns out I was still stressing myself out because of the mental load involved in a sales job. Currently in the process of a diagnosis, possible autoimmune hypophysitis (causing a secondary adrenal insufficiency in my case).
Thanks for sharing
Hope you're doing good. I hope you're heeding the call to relax and enjoy life.
Welcoming to my world that sent me into an autoimmune disease too
Thanks a lot, great video, just realizing in the last few days I need to transform my way of managing time and work, managing goals... Work smarter like you said. Hustle culture is very much embedded unconsciously in our lifestyles...
Thanks for sharing. You got this!
A good life is desirable and all, but getting enough sleep is more desirable.
Well said
Exactly is all about balance
okay, now see this is the problem. Elon Musk, a billionaire, thinks hustle culture is helpful... A billionaire. He is a billionaire for a reason. This becomes confusing...who am I supposed to believe?
Elon is one of the few that still promote hustle culture which is interesting. He still works long hours even after he made it. A lot of other people make it from hustling then talk about how hustle culture isn't it even though it was their hustle that helped. It all depends on what you want. If you want to create a lot of wealth, you might have to hustle and accept the hustle life
Excellent way to think .. healthy mind and body will be result
Yep
Greed. It's sad.
Yea
This also appears in students and I feel like something isn't right. Learning is supposed to be fun most of the time.
Totally agree
I completely agree with you 👍👍
Awesome!
Japan did it earlier and even has a specific term for its effect, Karoshi
Thanks for sharing!
i love your videos, please don't stop posting.
Thank you
I actually did a video on this exact topic yesterday! You made some excellent points that I personally experienced first hand in my business/channel. Y'all are welcome to see how I overcame burnout and the hustle culture mentality on my channel!
Thank you
@@TheLifeFormulaa You're welcome! Keep up the great channel work!
I have burned myself out by hustling too much. I am much better when I give myself permission to rest.
Thanks for sharing
I work at Acme for three years and I might start something new.
You got this!
I would add that its not only the hustle culture which people value, they value human suffering. If you do a job which is "fun" to you, everyone will say its not a real job, because heck enjoying yourself is not work!
They want you to work in the mines dammit, and work overtime! Its basically a bypass to slave culture, instead of using a whip (because its not allowed anymore) they convince you that you should want to work to death for your own sake. Its really insidious and subtle.
Thanks for sharing
Hustle culture and your boss asking for his chicken to lay more eggs are two different things
I probably could have explained things better
I think there's gotta be a balance, if you're putting in only 40 hr work weeks and you want to change your current situation then you're gonna have to put in more work to drag yourself out of that situation. at the moment im putting in 75 hrs and still go to the gym and get plenty sleep and hang out with friends on the weekends. It's not for everyone tho that's for sure
Thanks for sharing! Glad you mentioned that it's not for everyone
Tbh hustle culture is not for me at all tbh you have to be a psychopath or have psychopathic traits to be obsessed with hustle culture is not for me at all.
thats like me saying that anyone that doesn't get on their grind is lazy and entitled.. hustle culture isn't for everyone..saying that people that are out here hustling are psychopathic is just ignorant
I think it is very important to have "off" days. I've been hustling ever since my 20's, no weekends, 16 hours work a day, but when I got my daughter, it connected. I had to slow down.
I will do hustler until i die, i dont worry what happens
As long as you are happy
Not everyone is made to be an entrepreneur... if u don't believe in working all the time stop putting the word entrepreneur in ur IG bio
It definitely takes a lot of work to get a business started
Yes, sir this is the truth
:)
Agreed
:)
hey guys, I need help! i`m working on the research about hustle culture and its risks. if you have some articles connected with this topic, send me links please!! :)
I hate tht word.
Thanks for sharing
Why hustle to make it through a day, when you can use a talent to make it through a lifetime?
Not everyone has talent to make it through a lifetime
@@TheLifeFormulaa I think we. All do, some of us just haven't found it or hasn't figured out a way to profit from it.
Like for instance technicians web and image design hell even janitors and garbage men, plus cable management or accounting, others will gladly pay others to do that for them cause they're just too lazy to be bothered to learn or to take the time out of their life to do it themselves.
That's a big easy hospitality cash-in profit, doing stuff for others that they don't wanna do.
Just all in how you look at it
@@TheLifeFormulaa agreed same as being a enterpurener not everyone is made for that cloth and same with every other careers tbh.

The secret is to love the work. It becomes play. Then you can pull off the 120 hour "play" weeks without burnout.

hi
If u watch this video n u agree with him you're not a hustler
Not everyone wants to hustle though
Who needs mental health when you can have money & power
How can you keep earning more when that same ‘more’ makes your life suck. Mental health makes you become aware of yourself and what is enough for you instead of working for more that doesn’t satisfy you in the first place. Unless you’re doing everything to please others because opinions of others fuel you.. at the same time it hurts you.
Mental health keeps you sane. Kevin Nicolas's reply was pretty on point
Ok , keep on hustling.. And after some time, surely and definitely you'll be in a state called burn out.. Then enjoy the depression.. 😁😁😁
Then think why mental is important than money and power.. 😁😁

This is stupid. Anything you do in life requires hard work. People have literally made themselves successful through hard work, and goals. I dont condemn any person that works a job, and says the $per hour they pay is enough for me. I personally am not gonna let someone define my value. If that means I gotta work hard now so that I can create passive incomes down the road thats what I choose.
Creating passive income for yourself is life changing. But I don't believe you should be sacrificing your physical and mental health to hustle more
@@TheLifeFormulaa doesn't matter if it's ebay, CZcams, etc. You have to work to get it set up. As a ebay seller I have to take pics, create the ad, find the merch, package it up ahead of time, label the item. Until all those steps are done I cant rest. Plus I work a 40hr a week job. If I make CZcams vids I gotta come up with content, research it, make the video, edit, etc. That takes work as well. Until CZcams is paying enough that I dont have to work so hard then yea I dont have to work like a dog.
There is a fine line between working hard and working hard for the sake of working hard and having nothing else in your life but work
@@VocaFan4ever that decision is up to the person . If they choose to. It's their decision.
There is a difference between working hard and working until your mental and physical health suffers.
