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.
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.
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".
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
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.
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!
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! 😁
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.
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.
@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.
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!!
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!
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.
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.
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 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 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 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
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.
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!
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. 💖
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.
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!
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 =)
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. 😊❤️
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.
A win for the TH-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 TH-cam and this video was recommended. Magical.
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.
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
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.
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 .
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 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.
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!
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
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 :)
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
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 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!
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 🙏
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 love the video sorelle,you made a great work but nowadays it doesn't matter how toxic it gets towards your hustle.You did a great work and I wish to see more of it in the next video.
@@matthewmcdonald4676 This is an impression we have to change in our society.I had such lifestyle of hustling no matter how toxic it turns out....we need to instill the right morals in our youths.💯🌏.
@@matthewmcdonald4676 that's an impression we need to impress here.Getting the youths to turn around in their toxic ways of making money should be encouraged.
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.
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.
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.
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. 🙏
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!
I was too stressed out before watching this. It's 2 am and i was still working but wasn't going anywhere in the creative process. Thanks i really needed that video, your smile made me smile. Thanks once again.....
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.
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 think you are talking more about job culture. In entrepreneurship if you are doing what you love you won't feel the stress as much. Some musicians work 24-7 in their creativity.
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 needed to hear your 4th advice today. I am currently juggling a full time job, my own youtube channel, writting a book and a marketing consultancy gig. I do prioritize family time and try to take care of myself as much as possible, but I was definetly feeling burned out. Your video was the first one on the recomended list, now I take 3 big breaths, feel grateful for the priviliged time in my life I am enjoying and thank you for sharing your wisdom. Now, with new motivation... :D I will edit the videos I recorded during my holiday in Croatia! :D all the best Amore! stay awesome.
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 TH-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
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!
Thanks Sorelle! I really liked the slower, calmer tone of this video compared to some of the faster earlier ones. Really appreciate all the excellent advice, particularly coming from a fellow female.
Many valuable tips were shared, but what you said about writing down your expenses and starting from there really resonated with me. I'm 30 now and I've not really been doing that, it is a good starting point now that I'm determined to become financially independent, start my own little thing.
I love this one! Making peace and health and wellness your north star AND still working towards you economic success and freedom... The balance of strength and flexiblity. Thank you for this wonderful message!
Do you agree? Let me know below. Also, remember our course/membership pre-sale ends soon: jointheorder.co/

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 :/

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.
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.

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
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".
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.

Happiness is more important than ANY dollar amount. So is your health!

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.
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.

@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.
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 ❤️
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!
"What you actually need to be free" was mindblowing!
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.
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.
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 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 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 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.
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
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.
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!
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. 💖
Pozdrav!!! 🇷🇸 Love the “hello” in different languages.
Haha yes! So many people are loving it - gonna keep it up!
Please do keep it up ❤️😄
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!
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!
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 =)
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. 😁
never clicked on a video so fast!!
⚡⚡
Awesome!
Girl I second this!!
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.
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.
A win for the TH-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 TH-cam and this video was recommended. Magical.
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.
Thank you for bringing this up. The older i have become, the more i looked back and regreted a lot of the unecessary hussle.
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
Knowing you’re going to die really puts everything into perspective. “Memento Mori”.
This opened my eyes, I've been working like a machine for years and i just cried when i realized all i lost.
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.
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
sorelle, its amazing how honest and transparent you are here! it feels really authentic to listen to your experiences!
You have such a great smile. It’s so reassuring. 😄
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 .
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.
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 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.
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 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!
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
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 :)
As someone who’s had a shit tone of physical illnesses since I was 10 you are absolutely right that stress makes you sick.
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
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!
Agreed! Well done and Thank You
(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!
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 🙏
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.
That was just delightful. Thank you!
Thank you sou much for existing 🙌🏽✨
I was waiting for such video for very long time! :) Congrats! I like very much your videos! I wish you the best!
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.
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.
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!
Yess finally someone gets it! Hustle mentality is really draining
Very much agreed.
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.
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 love the video sorelle,you made a great work but nowadays it doesn't matter how toxic it gets towards your hustle.You did a great work and I wish to see more of it in the next video.
Yeah, most people don't bother how tough or toxic the hustle becomes as long as they make their money there is no problem attached to it.
@@matthewmcdonald4676 This is an impression we have to change in our society.I had such lifestyle of hustling no matter how toxic it turns out....we need to instill the right morals in our youths.💯🌏.
@@matthewmcdonald4676 that's an impression we need to impress here.Getting the youths to turn around in their toxic ways of making money should be encouraged.
Looove the way Sorelle describes how much money to shoot for. It’s true - a great starting point
This girl is underrated! Much love
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.
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! 😊 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!
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.
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. 🙏
Balance is everything. Remain tremendously blessed
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.
Sending you love from Morocco. Thanks for your honesty 🙏🙏
I was too stressed out before watching this. It's 2 am and i was still working but wasn't going anywhere in the creative process. Thanks i really needed that video, your smile made me smile. Thanks once again.....
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!
This video just changed my perspective, a massive mind shift
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.
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 🌈
This was really good thank you.
I think you are talking more about job culture. In entrepreneurship if you are doing what you love you won't feel the stress as much. Some musicians work 24-7 in their creativity.
Thank you finally someone addresses this hustling issue
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 ♥️
You are so fun. I'm glad people are enjoying your channel. Sometimes I think I am too focused and saving and maybe I need a vacation
Hey Sorelle! Thank you for saving me from this toxicity. I feel liberated after watching your video ❤️
I needed to hear your 4th advice today. I am currently juggling a full time job, my own youtube channel, writting a book and a marketing consultancy gig. I do prioritize family time and try to take care of myself as much as possible, but I was definetly feeling burned out. Your video was the first one on the recomended list, now I take 3 big breaths, feel grateful for the priviliged time in my life I am enjoying and thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Now, with new motivation... :D I will edit the videos I recorded during my holiday in Croatia! :D all the best Amore! stay awesome.
I have to say that I was just this. I wised up quickly. Thank you for posting
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 TH-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
One of the few honest people on internet!!!! Love this video and thank you so much Sorelle!!!
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!
Thanks Sorelle! I really liked the slower, calmer tone of this video compared to some of the faster earlier ones. Really appreciate all the excellent advice, particularly coming from a fellow female.
Many valuable tips were shared, but what you said about writing down your expenses and starting from there really resonated with me. I'm 30 now and I've not really been doing that, it is a good starting point now that I'm determined to become financially independent, start my own little thing.
I love this one! Making peace and health and wellness your north star AND still working towards you economic success and freedom... The balance of strength and flexiblity. Thank you for this wonderful message!
So many people need to hear this clip. Very good. Thank you.
