Hustle culture is just another scam

I remember it wasn’t long ago when I was writing 100 emails to directors and managers about helping them reach more in sales with my copywriting skills.

Spending unhealthy amount of hours on LinkedIn every day to post the cliche stuff just in hope of getting any cold leads.

Any person to reach out to me and give me some gig. Small or big I didn’t care, I just needed something.

I just wanted to feel I had the ability like other capable people to earn money online from the ease of my home.

Months went by and I barely got any attention.

While my peers were posting how they got $200 with just one email or $800 from a new client. To be honest it frustrated me too much.

LinkedIn felt more like a bragging competitive platform rather than a networking hub. It certainly has the power to make you feel incapable and like a loser.

Creators were posting the same things every day, no one would tell how they did what they did but only that they did great.

Although I knew I was making mistakes yet a lot of your success depends on referrals and connections on LinkedIn.
