There was a point in time after my divorce where I needed a job. The financial stress not only caused me to go into a deep depression, but also causes me to lose so much weight that I looked unhealthy. I went from having two jobs, to losing both of them. I put my pride aside and HUSTLED.
I worked for Uber as a driver, and there were days where I would drive as far as 2 hours from home to get steady rides. and I did this with a smile. I put on a full face of makeup, a good outfit, had water bottles and mints in the car, even blankets!
Of course, you guys know I was a exotic dancer, a camgirl, a restaurant host, the list goes on and on. At the time, I really thought I was better than those jobs, BUT I WASNT BETTER THAN THAT CASH!!! I humbled myself and did them anyway until something even better came along.
Honestly, I needed to be humbled, because something is better than nothing. So ultimately @@Tabitha Brownis absolutely right; you need to be working a job until you’re making more money than your job!
Life’s challenges, especially after a major life change like divorce, can quickly lead to financial instability and emotional strain. Many find themselves forced to reevaluate their pride and preconceived notions about different types of jobs. It’s important to recognize that the ultimate goal is financial security and stability, no matter the source of income. Driving for Uber, working as an exotic dancer, being a camgirl, or hosting in restaurants are all legitimate ways people hustle to make ends meet. These jobs often come with stigmas, but the reality is that they provide income and help people survive difficult times. The key takeaway here is humility and flexibility in the face of adversity. Putting pride aside and embracing the available work is a testament to resilience and a strong work ethic. The phrase, "You need to be working a job until you’re making more money than your job," emphasized by influencer Tabitha Brown, is a crucial mindset. It means that any job you take temporarily is a stepping stone rather than a permanent position. It’s a means to an end—supporting yourself, maintaining basic needs, and eventually transitioning to better opportunities. Many people have gone through similar experiences, where financial pressure led to multiple jobs—sometimes simultaneously. It’s essential to prepare and present yourself professionally, even in gig or temporary work: dressing well, being well-groomed, and maintaining a positive attitude can open doors and create better prospects. Ultimately, hardship teaches valuable lessons in perseverance, adaptability, and self-worth beyond social status. Embracing the hustle, however unconventional it may be, is a path to financial recovery and personal growth. Remember, "something is better than nothing," and each step forward counts on the journey to stability and success.
