This generation is finally working for a shift in the workforce and it's about D@&n time! 8hrs work, 8hrs play, 8hrs sleep is a 135yr old concept. That's insane
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 :/
for some personality traits, it is the only way they can operate. "Work smarter not harder." Tai Lopez 2013... First stress study i learned of was from chernobyl. No one died from radiation.
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. :)
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.
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
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".
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
@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.
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.
I felt Gary s 'hustle only makes life meaningful' style toxic as much as a day job that sucks. Great to hear someone feeling the same and conveyed it in a video
@@Abundantiaco funny how this is bias, and only bare surface about what Gary talks about. But he never once asks you to pay for any of his services. Here it’s my first video on this channel and seconds into it she’s already trying to sell me something lol listen to what people are actually saying
I've never been a hustler and I've always fell into some amazing jobs and experiences: teacher in Montessori in Warsaw, Nannying in Paris, Bartending solo at a tiny bar in Paris, assisting one of the last golden era stars in Hollywood, and now opening up music studio and following my solo career as an artist. My worry is I don't have the stability i see my hustling friends have - but I'm so stuck enjoying the hell out of it i can't imagine it any other way!
When someone starts going on about HUSTLING what I hear them saying is "I'm not smart enough to make money without killing myself" and I'm like, okay bruh.
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!
I found your channel maybe five days ago, and I love it! You have a background, not a stage entrepreneur, your info is what regular people need, and we see the passion in your videos. Thank you, Sorelle!
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all the content you are putting out there. I read the richest man in Babylon based on your recommendation and I really liked it. Please don't stop what you are doing because you are changing people's lives to the better with your knoweldge. I am sure there are many people who consider you their role model (myself included). Thanks again!
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 🤍🙏🏼
So glad to see this video. Since becoming a stay at home mom I’ve shifted to doing a lot more family centered stuff obviously, as well as self improvement and self discovery. Can’t tell you how much happier I am. This is something that skirted right past me when I was still in the workforce. I can’t believe how much I missed and sacrificed in my youth with my constant hustling.
I love that you touched on gratefulness. It's something that I've been thinking a lot about lately, and it's helping to center me a bit, and let the hustle culture in me settle down. I'm glad to hear you're focusing on friends and family more. One of these days, I hope to have friends again. I miss that.
I'm workn towards 3 work days a week , ideal as I'll lose myself in gardening growing veges and meat , being self sufficient and make cool shtuff that makes life better , invent ! Free up my mind to imagine and dream more . Thankyou , love your advice .
This resonates with me a lot, I have written down all my expenses and earnings just so that i could sleep at night knowing that i am not spending more than i make. I love educating and so i started a channel where i talk about stuff I feel we don't learn in school, but i do think that i am in the condition where i couldn't stop hustling and working in Malaysia the value of money we make is lesser. however as mentioned I still find ways to do things I like and it is for me. working 1 week per month? sounds like a dream ;3 definitely share that when you manage to pull it off
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!
Yes. Gary is about getting you out of your parents basement and taking accountability and working hard for what you love. It's not about money. It's about happiness!!
WOW! Sorelle, what a video. This one has spoke volumes to me. I've signed up to the order and news letter but these videos are golden too. You truly are a light in the darkness showing the way! Best wishes to you and Leon.
Couldn't agree more! I spent all of high school grinding at work and it's amazing how quickly my adolescence slipped away. Determined not to make that same mistake in my early adulthood. As you alluded to in the video...“Every man has two lives, and the second starts when he realizes he has just one” - Confucius
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 =)
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)
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.
After a long successful corp career, I’m retired. I was a detail freak, which was good because, my standards were high, but it wasn’t much fun. The last 3 to 4 years, I relaxed and things actually were better. My overall performance jumped-and i worked much less. I trusted people more. It worked.! Maybe it’s because I was experienced? At the top of my game? Sure, but also learned that micro-managing was actually counter productive.
I think this might be my favorite video of yours, addressing more spiritual matters related to the pursuit of financial independence, the pitfalls and dangers of overworking. I identified with so much of today's content!
A win for the UA-cam algorithm. I was just journaling about how my recent bouts with extremely sleep deprivation were rooted in my in ability to effectively “turn-off.” I don’t know how to relax. When I watch tv, I’m at least going through notes or organizing something. My conclusion was that by allowing myself time off every night I’m preparing to work hard and effectively the next day. And then I open UA-cam and this video was recommended. Magical.
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.
i learned the hard way that hard work often doesnt amount to shit. lots of pain i went thru. im finally cutting myself some slack but it's literally in my genes to rush thru every thing i do
Brilliant video, Sorelle. I too have some back and neck issues from not monitoring my posture properly over the years whilst sitting at my laptop. Thank you also for shining a spotlight on the toxic, damaging nature of the hustle culture.
Jeeeez, I was working 10 hours per day 7/7 in my 1 year online freelance job in Milan (Italy). Now that I am on vacation, in a little warm and calm place near the sea, I am questioning “Why should I work that much? Does it worth it?”. Thanks Sorelle Amore for inspiring me and shaking my thoughts 🙏
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!
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.
unpopular opinion: the "hustle grindset" videos were produced by employers to sell false hope to their empoyees in order to make them work harder and make them believe, it will benefit them in the long run
YES!! Slow and steady wins the race hon. Success is NOT about grinding yourself into the ground as our modern society/culture so pounds into our heads like a drumbeat. A well-paced, sustained, strategized commitment, that allows for fun, relaxation, and appreciation will yield much more favorable results. This is how I achieved debt-free early retirement (with good mental and physical health) @ age 59. Thank you for broadcasting your message for all to hear young lady. 😊❤️
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 🛳🙌🏽💪🏽
Thanks Sorelle for putting out this video, I have watched all of your videos on this channel and they are sooooo valuable but this one is beyond words precious. I can't even begin to thank you how much I needed to hear this, and how much everyone would benefit from it, if they can understand the depth of it. You have provided so much value through this channel in such a short amount of time, can't wait for the next one :)
Sorelle, your experiences good and bad towards your current lifestyle is going to be so valuable to others so they might, just might not work towards a burnout but towards a very rewarding life that also feels joyful in the making. The best part of successful people sharing their journey is that it’s not the end goals that’s the most valuable but the lessons learn on the way. Thank you 🙏 for sharing openly to those who will listen. 💖
Thank you Sorelle!! I'm an entrepreneur, and I've watched a lot of videos saying "you need to work day and night until you succeed!" I do have sprints of working hard, but when my friends (who are usually busy) say they're free to meet up, I go and meet up with them. If I don't I might regret the moments we could have shared together. Then when I get home after seeing them and watch the hustle success videos, I know I'm not where I want to be yet. I get frustrated with myself for not spending every moment I can working. After watching your video I feel like what I'm doing is fine. And instead of pushing against myself, I feel more confident that I have control in the life I'm making. Thanks again!
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!
I only discovered your channel yesterday and I've fallen in love with it already. Your videos are the message I needed to hear. I'm probably the last person to be striving at becoming rich and successful, but your videos are inspiring. Knowing you can be successful without sacrificing your most important values gives me hope. Thank you.
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!
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.
I am older than Sorelle, take it from me if this wasn't enough for you. You need the time off, the breaks, the vacations. I have missed way too many holidays with my children for my company. Focus on your health, specially mental health, family and friends. Sadly I don't have a group of like minded people to surround myself with but if you can get that, do it. In short, she is right, that's why I watch her videos...when I can
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.
The universe gave you such a good mind, beauty, and charisma. Then your soul is about helping others. You're a wonderful positive force and I thank you.

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
Sorelle you’re my new internet best friend, lol. I’ve been watching a lot of your videos lately and this one specially makes a lot of sense to me. I don’t like the “hustle” culture either, it’s highly toxic, I’ve seen it first hand on a couple of friends. Working crazy hours to make money that they can’t even enjoy. 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. 🙏
This!! This year I took the time to care for myself; physically, mentally, spiritually. Ironically this has also been my most successful year to date as well. My filmmaking career is finally expanding, my UA-cam channel is growing, and it all comes down to putting my full energy into tasks that actually matter. With hustle culture, we’re encouraged to sit down and just work but never critically analyze if the “work” that we’re doing is actually beneficial or if it’s just “busy work” to make us feel productive and worthy in societal expectations
A Jewish King once told me. Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you-you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans (Hustle Culture) run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
I waited… stressed out drooling waiting to consume your content! As usual worth every minute of the wait! To Codex and The Order 👏🏾👏🏾 if your free content is this good I can’t wait to experience what’s behind the pay wall! Thank you and Leon- he truly is an amazing storyteller!
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🙏🏼🤗
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!
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.
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. ❤❤
I think the productivity tip is really interesting and important. I definitely find I'm more productive when I limit my work hours and days, and just commit to getting things done during those hours. Sometimes life does get in the way though and I fall back into old habits of working anytime just to get things done. But knowing this makes it easier to get back to a good productive and balanced work schedule over and over again.
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.
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
I love what you are saying about prioritizing your friends and family and that you have regret about spending not that much time with them. You are still so young and you have plenty of time to spend with them ! I am happy for you that you realize it now.
(I hope you read this) I literally always come to your channel when im feeling anxious about not being financially stable and watching your videos, even if I’ve watched them before, always refresh my mindset and gives me hope that I do have the power to get to where you are and I just love your personality.. this channel is definitely a must have. Thank you for all that you do and for sharing your beautiful and wise mind!
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
This is exactly what I needed 😍😭 Thank you so much. Being a classical dancer, artist and a student, I was feeling stuck and terrified that I'm not doing enough but this actually made me release some anxiety. Thank you ♥️
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.
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.
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.
Just want to share that you can adjust the playback speed on the video if you, like me, need to hear ALL of this wisdom more slowly to absorb it 😁 three dots > playback speed > adjust down to your preference 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 .75 is good! Thank you Sorelle for demonstrating the value of providing SO MUCH VALUE! You are one of my current spirit animals, thank you 🌈
I get the impression from a LOT of people that they kind of feel dying is just something that happens, like stubbing your toe on the coffee table. But it's not. It's the end of EVERYTHING for you. You will never do anything again. You will never see friends again. You will never see family again. I am utterly terrified of dying and yet even that knowledge still hasn't made me work on my health and be a better person to myself top help me live longer. It's a horrible position to be in.
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.
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!
over 50 hours kills creativity? My friend, if you're a arist/painter that's minimum you do in a week, since you breathe the art and nothing will kill your creativity! Sometimes I go whole day without hunger and sleep cause I love what I do!
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!
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.
Thank you Sorelle, i have to show this video to my husband :D. Can you please make a video about delegating work? Thats something my husband and i really struggle with! The learned from experience: 'if you want to have it done proberly, do it yourself!' So: we want to delegate, we just don't know how. How can we find people who are on the same page and don't let you down. It's a real problem.
You are brilliant. A pool size enough to wade in. Cheaper, less time consuming to maintain, and yet offers the ability to meditate and relax, and yet still large enough to hang out in with friends like a jacuzzi.
I am glad that you are addressing the toxic hustle-productivity culture. But i disagree that GaryV comes in this category. The central idea GaryV has always made in his videos is about doing what you love and not give in to just the materialistic gains. He has made our personal happiness, empathy and kindness as his main motto.
Yes, and no. He's definitely changed his tune over time. There was a time where he almost didn't talk about anything apart from grinding/hustling, etc etc. Though I have to give him credit, he's toned that down a lot, and speaks a lot more about balance.
@@Abundantiaco TRUE as I used to follow him. He softened his stance, when many many folks told him we simply can't hustle like you. 1 thing-i will get attacked for...but GV for 1 has a wife that does LOTS basically all the children etc. personal level, he's even talked about this. My sense is they agree that ti's fine but it's not for everyone...He has tons and tons of energy...but as a meditation teacher and healer I can see him aging fast, and stressed, he's often dark circles tired...
Do you agree? Let me know below. Also, remember our course/membership pre-sale ends soon: jointheorder.co/
I'm always telling people that business involves SO much creativity, and I love hearing someone else address this!
This generation is finally working for a shift in the workforce and it's about D@&n time! 8hrs work, 8hrs play, 8hrs sleep is a 135yr old concept. That's insane
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 :/
Sorelle the link for the studies are missing :(
for some personality traits, it is the only way they can operate. "Work smarter not harder." Tai Lopez 2013... First stress study i learned of was from chernobyl. No one died from radiation.
As I get older, the less I want to hustle as my priorities change to find more time for quality relationships
Yeah cause the less time you have sadly ☹️
Follow your gut / instinct. Everyone is different. Anything lost can be found again except for time wasted
Love your channel, take care.
@@saintriley no becauze you realize what is really important
As a 21 year old guy who manipulated by that hustle culture, I wanna thank you for comfronting me with the truth.
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. :)
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.
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. 💪🙏💯
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
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".
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.
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
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.
Happiness is more important than ANY dollar amount. So is your health!
Yeah agreed
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! 😁
"Smarter, not harder" is DEFINITELY something a lot of people miss. And thank you for the kind words!
"Richest Man in Babylon" is such a great read
@@ceebake9596 Definitely! I loved that book!
What are the books?
@@ketsune23 The Richest Man in Babylon, Rich Dad Poor Dad and Think and Grow Rich!
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!
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.
YES! I really truly hope Iceland implements it. It would be such a great example for the world.
I love your UA-cam channel Yoga Bliss Dance 😍
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.
@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.
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.
I felt Gary s 'hustle only makes life meaningful' style toxic as much as a day job that sucks. Great to hear someone feeling the same and conveyed it in a video
Yeah, both viewpoints are toxic.
@@Abundantiaco funny how this is bias, and only bare surface about what Gary talks about. But he never once asks you to pay for any of his services. Here it’s my first video on this channel and seconds into it she’s already trying to sell me something lol listen to what people are actually saying
@@domneutral8740 her channel, promoting her services? U wanted her to scream " HUSTLE or you're a loser" bla bla lol
I can totally relate. Spent 10 years of my life sprinting and now I'm exhausted and sick with money. I wouldn't do it again though.
"What you actually need to be free" was mindblowing!
I've never been a hustler and I've always fell into some amazing jobs and experiences: teacher in Montessori in Warsaw, Nannying in Paris, Bartending solo at a tiny bar in Paris, assisting one of the last golden era stars in Hollywood, and now opening up music studio and following my solo career as an artist.
My worry is I don't have the stability i see my hustling friends have - but I'm so stuck enjoying the hell out of it i can't imagine it any other way!
Pozdrav!!! 🇷🇸 Love the “hello” in different languages.
Haha yes! So many people are loving it - gonna keep it up!
Please do keep it up ❤️😄
When someone starts going on about HUSTLING what I hear them saying is "I'm not smart enough to make money without killing myself" and I'm like, okay bruh.
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!
Hustle culture always scared me away from working on my dreams !
Then don't let it. Know that YOU CAN DO THIS, while also keeping balance in your life.
@@Abundantiaco I’ve been working on myself and your videos are helping me a lot too. Thank you for everything
I found your channel maybe five days ago, and I love it! You have a background, not a stage entrepreneur, your info is what regular people need, and we see the passion in your videos. Thank you, Sorelle!
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all the content you are putting out there. I read the richest man in Babylon based on your recommendation and I really liked it. Please don't stop what you are doing because you are changing people's lives to the better with your knoweldge. I am sure there are many people who consider you their role model (myself included). Thanks again!
Knowing you’re going to die really puts everything into perspective. “Memento Mori”.
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 🤍🙏🏼
So glad to see this video. Since becoming a stay at home mom I’ve shifted to doing a lot
more family centered stuff obviously, as well as self improvement and self discovery. Can’t tell you how much happier I am. This is something that skirted right past me when I was still in the workforce. I can’t believe how much I missed and sacrificed in my youth with my constant hustling.
I love that you touched on gratefulness. It's something that I've been thinking a lot about lately, and it's helping to center me a bit, and let the hustle culture in me settle down. I'm glad to hear you're focusing on friends and family more. One of these days, I hope to have friends again. I miss that.
I'm workn towards 3 work days a week , ideal as I'll lose myself in gardening growing veges and meat , being self sufficient and make cool shtuff that makes life better , invent !
Free up my mind to imagine and dream more .
Thankyou , love your advice .
This resonates with me a lot, I have written down all my expenses and earnings just so that i could sleep at night knowing that i am not spending more than i make. I love educating and so i started a channel where i talk about stuff I feel we don't learn in school, but i do think that i am in the condition where i couldn't stop hustling and working in Malaysia the value of money we make is lesser. however as mentioned I still find ways to do things I like and it is for me. working 1 week per month? sounds like a dream ;3 definitely share that when you manage to pull it off
I like her. She makes business almost a zen experience. They'd call her methods crazy in the US. Less work? That's witch craft
I like your name
Witchcraft is amazing. Witch means a wise woman (literally). So yes, this is magic.
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!
Exactly
Yes. Gary is about getting you out of your parents basement and taking accountability and working hard for what you love. It's not about money. It's about happiness!!
This was much needed. Whoever says Gary Vee is promoting crazy hustle culture hasn't gone through his content at all.
As Jordan Peterson Stated: You cant be your own Tyrant.
Very true! He is a gem ❤️
WOW! Sorelle, what a video. This one has spoke volumes to me. I've signed up to the order and news letter but these videos are golden too. You truly are a light in the darkness showing the way! Best wishes to you and Leon.
Thank you! And best wishes to you also.
Couldn't agree more! I spent all of high school grinding at work and it's amazing how quickly my adolescence slipped away. Determined not to make that same mistake in my early adulthood. As you alluded to in the video...“Every man has two lives, and the second starts when he realizes he has just one” - Confucius
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.
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.
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.
Good point. Stop generalized.
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.
Yes, if there's anything I learned from Gary it is Patience. He talks about a good mix of both hustling and self care.
This opened my eyes, I've been working like a machine for years and i just cried when i realized all i lost.
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 =)
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)
Same same
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.
After a long successful corp career, I’m retired. I was a detail freak, which was good because, my standards were high, but it wasn’t much fun.
The last 3 to 4 years, I relaxed and things actually were better. My overall performance jumped-and i worked much less.
I trusted people more. It worked.!
Maybe it’s because I was experienced? At the top of my game? Sure, but also learned that micro-managing was actually counter productive.
I think this might be my favorite video of yours, addressing more spiritual matters related to the pursuit of financial independence, the pitfalls and dangers of overworking. I identified with so much of today's content!
Amazing!
A win for the UA-cam algorithm. I was just journaling about how my recent bouts with extremely sleep deprivation were rooted in my in ability to effectively “turn-off.” I don’t know how to relax. When I watch tv, I’m at least going through notes or organizing something. My conclusion was that by allowing myself time off every night I’m preparing to work hard and effectively the next day. And then I open UA-cam and this video was recommended. Magical.
You have such a great smile. It’s so reassuring. 😄
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.
As someone who’s had a shit tone of physical illnesses since I was 10 you are absolutely right that stress makes you sick.
i learned the hard way that hard work often doesnt amount to shit. lots of pain i went thru. im finally cutting myself some slack but it's literally in my genes to rush thru every thing i do
Brilliant video, Sorelle. I too have some back and neck issues from not monitoring my posture properly over the years whilst sitting at my laptop. Thank you also for shining a spotlight on the toxic, damaging nature of the hustle culture.
Thank you for watching!
Jeeeez, I was working 10 hours per day 7/7 in my 1 year online freelance job in Milan (Italy). Now that I am on vacation, in a little warm and calm place near the sea, I am questioning “Why should I work that much? Does it worth it?”. Thanks Sorelle Amore for inspiring me and shaking my thoughts 🙏
Thank you thank you thank you. I needed this reminder. Hustle is NOT the way. I am not creating my personal brand to be a prisoner of it!
YESSS!!!!
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!
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.
unpopular opinion: the "hustle grindset" videos were produced by employers to sell false hope to their empoyees in order to make them work harder and make them believe, it will benefit them in the long run
YES!! Slow and steady wins the race hon. Success is NOT about grinding yourself into the ground as our modern society/culture so pounds into our heads like a drumbeat. A well-paced, sustained, strategized commitment, that allows for fun, relaxation, and appreciation will yield much more favorable results. This is how I achieved debt-free early retirement (with good mental and physical health) @ age 59. Thank you for broadcasting your message for all to hear young lady. 😊❤️
Thank you for being here as part of this community!
@@Abundantiaco - Of course! You’ve become one of my faves. 😁
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 🛳🙌🏽💪🏽
Thanks Sorelle for putting out this video, I have watched all of your videos on this channel and they are sooooo valuable but this one is beyond words precious. I can't even begin to thank you how much I needed to hear this, and how much everyone would benefit from it, if they can understand the depth of it. You have provided so much value through this channel in such a short amount of time, can't wait for the next one :)
Sorelle, your experiences good and bad towards your current lifestyle is going to be so valuable to others so they might, just might not work towards a burnout but towards a very rewarding life that also feels joyful in the making. The best part of successful people sharing their journey is that it’s not the end goals that’s the most valuable but the lessons learn on the way. Thank you 🙏 for sharing openly to those who will listen. 💖
Thank you Sorelle!! I'm an entrepreneur, and I've watched a lot of videos saying "you need to work day and night until you succeed!" I do have sprints of working hard, but when my friends (who are usually busy) say they're free to meet up, I go and meet up with them. If I don't I might regret the moments we could have shared together.
Then when I get home after seeing them and watch the hustle success videos, I know I'm not where I want to be yet. I get frustrated with myself for not spending every moment I can working.
After watching your video I feel like what I'm doing is fine. And instead of pushing against myself, I feel more confident that I have control in the life I'm making.
Thanks again!
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!
Thank you!
I only discovered your channel yesterday and I've fallen in love with it already. Your videos are the message I needed to hear. I'm probably the last person to be striving at becoming rich and successful, but your videos are inspiring. Knowing you can be successful without sacrificing your most important values gives me hope. Thank you.
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!
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.
I am older than Sorelle, take it from me if this wasn't enough for you. You need the time off, the breaks, the vacations.
I have missed way too many holidays with my children for my company. Focus on your health, specially mental health, family and friends.
Sadly I don't have a group of like minded people to surround myself with but if you can get that, do it.
In short, she is right, that's why I watch her videos...when I can
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.
Wise words Sorelle. Loved your take on things. There is a Proverb I love it states "We love when we play." So play more, work less.
Thank you for bringing this up. The older i have become, the more i looked back and regreted a lot of the unecessary hussle.
The universe gave you such a good mind, beauty, and charisma. Then your soul is about helping others. You're a wonderful positive force and I thank you.
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
They definitely provided me with choices. And yes, it's true a lot of people do get trapped in it.
Sorelle you’re my new internet best friend, lol.
I’ve been watching a lot of your videos lately and this one specially makes a lot of sense to me. I don’t like the “hustle” culture either, it’s highly toxic, I’ve seen it first hand on a couple of friends. Working crazy hours to make money that they can’t even enjoy. 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. 🙏
This!! This year I took the time to care for myself; physically, mentally, spiritually. Ironically this has also been my most successful year to date as well. My filmmaking career is finally expanding, my UA-cam channel is growing, and it all comes down to putting my full energy into tasks that actually matter. With hustle culture, we’re encouraged to sit down and just work but never critically analyze if the “work” that we’re doing is actually beneficial or if it’s just “busy work” to make us feel productive and worthy in societal expectations
Trust me, you didn’t miss anything “going out and getting drunk”.
A Jewish King once told me. Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life
“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you-you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans (Hustle Culture) run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
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
It's DEFINITELY okay to rest.
It absolutely becomes a problem when you feel guilty for becoming exhausted! We’re humans! Take some time to recover!
sorelle, its amazing how honest and transparent you are here! it feels really authentic to listen to your experiences!
I waited… stressed out drooling waiting to consume your content! As usual worth every minute of the wait! To Codex and The Order 👏🏾👏🏾 if your free content is this good I can’t wait to experience what’s behind the pay wall! Thank you and Leon- he truly is an amazing storyteller!
Wow, thank you!
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🙏🏼🤗
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!
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.
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. ❤❤
Yess finally someone gets it! Hustle mentality is really draining
Very much agreed.
I think the productivity tip is really interesting and important. I definitely find I'm more productive when I limit my work hours and days, and just commit to getting things done during those hours. Sometimes life does get in the way though and I fall back into old habits of working anytime just to get things done. But knowing this makes it easier to get back to a good productive and balanced work schedule over and over again.
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.
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 🌺
Thank you! You too!
This video just changed my perspective, a massive mind shift
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
Yes. Downtime breeds creativity.
I love what you are saying about prioritizing your friends and family and that you have regret about spending not that much time with them. You are still so young and you have plenty of time to spend with them ! I am happy for you that you realize it now.
(I hope you read this) I literally always come to your channel when im feeling anxious about not being financially stable and watching your videos, even if I’ve watched them before, always refresh my mindset and gives me hope that I do have the power to get to where you are and I just love your personality.. this channel is definitely a must have. Thank you for all that you do and for sharing your beautiful and wise mind!
That was just delightful. Thank you!
Looove the way Sorelle describes how much money to shoot for. It’s true - a great starting point
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
You can have it all. Just not all at once.
This is exactly what I needed 😍😭 Thank you so much. Being a classical dancer, artist and a student, I was feeling stuck and terrified that I'm not doing enough but this actually made me release some anxiety. Thank you ♥️
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.
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.
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.
Just want to share that you can adjust the playback speed on the video if you, like me, need to hear ALL of this wisdom more slowly to absorb it 😁 three dots > playback speed > adjust down to your preference 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 .75 is good! Thank you Sorelle for demonstrating the value of providing SO MUCH VALUE! You are one of my current spirit animals, thank you 🌈
I get the impression from a LOT of people that they kind of feel dying is just something that happens, like stubbing your toe on the coffee table. But it's not. It's the end of EVERYTHING for you. You will never do anything again. You will never see friends again. You will never see family again. I am utterly terrified of dying and yet even that knowledge still hasn't made me work on my health and be a better person to myself top help me live longer. It's a horrible position to be in.
One of the biggest scientifically proven effects of psilocybin is that it permanently removes the fear of death
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.
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!
Why haven't I watched this video earlier. I hustled for 15 years and all what I got from this is depression, failure, panic attacks and hairloss 😐
over 50 hours kills creativity? My friend, if you're a arist/painter that's minimum you do in a week, since you breathe the art and nothing will kill your creativity! Sometimes I go whole day without hunger and sleep cause I love what I do!
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!
Hope you didn't buy it and give the author money.
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.
Thank you for watching!
Thank you Sorelle, i have to show this video to my husband :D. Can you please make a video about delegating work?
Thats something my husband and i really struggle with! The learned from experience: 'if you want to have it done proberly, do it yourself!'
So: we want to delegate, we just don't know how. How can we find people who are on the same page and don't let you down. It's a real problem.
You are brilliant. A pool size enough to wade in. Cheaper, less time consuming to maintain, and yet offers the ability to meditate and relax, and yet still large enough to hang out in with friends like a jacuzzi.
I am glad that you are addressing the toxic hustle-productivity culture. But i disagree that GaryV comes in this category. The central idea GaryV has always made in his videos is about doing what you love and not give in to just the materialistic gains. He has made our personal happiness, empathy and kindness as his main motto.
Yes, and no. He's definitely changed his tune over time. There was a time where he almost didn't talk about anything apart from grinding/hustling, etc etc. Though I have to give him credit, he's toned that down a lot, and speaks a lot more about balance.
@@Abundantiaco Surely 👍
@@Abundantiaco TRUE as I used to follow him. He softened his stance, when many many folks told him we simply can't hustle like you. 1 thing-i will get attacked for...but GV for 1 has a wife that does LOTS basically all the children etc. personal level, he's even talked about this. My sense is they agree that ti's fine but it's not for everyone...He has tons and tons of energy...but as a meditation teacher and healer I can see him aging fast, and stressed, he's often dark circles tired...
less is more, owning less actually saves a lot and lets room for better things too. :) thanks for sharing these great ideas Sorelle. 🌺✨
