Step 4: Hustle Without Mercy
Listen, you've made it to step 4, congratulations! You've survived the existential crisis of realizing your life is a meaningless, crushing despair. Now it's time to channel that desperation into a productive force of nature.
Here's the secret to hustling without mercy:
- Wake up every morning at 3am and scream at the ceiling for 30 minutes to get those endorphins pumping.
- Drink 5 energy drinks and eat 2 energy bars before 8am. Don't ask questions.
- Send a strongly-worded email to your landlord demanding they install a treadmill in your apartment, and threaten to move out immediately otherwise.
- Replace all your clothes with neon green jumpsuits and a pair of 5-inch stilettos.
- Call your aunt and ask her to invest in your new startup idea: "Inflatable Unicorn Horns for Cats."
- Start a fight with a stranger at the coffee shop over who gets to use the WiFi.
- Buy a year's supply of protein powder and start making protein-fueled smoothies at 3am every morning.
- Replace your bed with a pile of dirty laundry and a futon mattress.
- Start a podcast where you interview inanimate objects and pretend they're celebrities.
- Write a 50,000-word essay on the meaninglessness of existence, and then delete it all because you're a grown-up now.
And that's it! If you've completed these steps, you're now a certified hustler. You can proudly display your "I Hustle Without Mercy" badge on your LinkedIn profile and scare off anyone who dares to ask you to actually accomplish anything.
