A short YouTube monologue (by Katie McManus) arguing against the culture of constant "hustle" when starting a side business while keeping a full-time job. The speaker warns that trying to work every spare hour—sometimes even during the 9-to-5—leads to burnout, sickness, and reduced effectiveness, and explicitly rejects the idea that entrepreneurs must hustle nonstop.
This is especially important when you're first starting your business and you're still working for a full time job. If you're working a corporate 9 to 5 and you're wanting to start a business on the side, it's really tempting to expect yourself to work every spare hour that you're awake. And if your 9 to 5 is really miserable, you might even expect yourself to work on your business while you're in your 9 to 5. I don't recommend it, especially if you want to continue to get that salary as you're ramping up. But you do. You boo. The only thing that this leads to is burnout. The Hustle bros will want to fight me on this. Like, come and get me guys. I can take all of you because you're all sleep deprived. They will want to fight me on this because they're going to tell you you have to hustle every single hour you're awake. No, no. When you do that, you burn yourself out. You make yourself more likely to get sick and need time to recover.
