People online look like they’ve won. But they’re pushing themselves to the edge, they’re tired, and lonely. The hustle culture is awful. Don’t try and do everything yourself. I couldn’t travel without my team. I couldn’t sleep without my VA. And I wouldn’t be earning as much

I can tell how much you earn Based on how you talk about ‘time’ I get asked for “quick chats” and “pick your brain” calls constantly. At this level, time is the only asset I can’t replace. It’s v valuable. The people asking for free time think small. They’re optimizing for
