HUSTLE
VS
TOXIC
HUSTLE
CULTURE
HI, I’M
NICHOLE!
I’m Nichole Howson the owner of AIM
Social Media Marketing. I am a social media
manager and strategist and a mental health
advocate. I speak about mental illness -
specifically on Mental Wellness, Bipolar
Disorder, Depression, Anxiety and PTSD.
I’ve been published 10 times for The
Mighty and has been interviewed by CBC
and CTV News. Now I focus on helping
other online marketers and freelancers
grow their businesses while not falling into
toxic hustle culture. Being successful does
not have to come hand in hand with
burnout.
WHAT IS TOXIC HUSTLE CULTURE?
Toxic hustle culture is working all day, taking no breaks, ignoring your self-care, and your
always in work mode. Toxic hustle culture teaches us that burn out is a badge of honor.
WHAT IS HUSTLING?
Hustling is when you work hard, but you’re still making time for breaks. You’re not working to
burn out, but you work your butt off to take the weekend off.I hustle all the time, just not in a toxic way. Some weeks I work until I’m tired to make sure I
have the weekend, get my results, and have an easier week the next week. I do make sure to
make time for myself.
MAKE SELF-CARE TIME
You can take care of yourself and hustle! This could mean giving up Netflix to read a book
that furthers your development or grows your business. It could look like doing laundry
during your breaks instead of scrolling through tik tok. It can be showering during your
lunch hour to make sure you’re still taking care of yourself.
When I say don’t fall into toxic hustle culture, I don’t mean
DON'T HUSTLE I just mean take care of yourself.
Make sure you’re paying attention to how you TAKE CARE
of yourself while working on your business.
PS – When you’re ready, I want to help you become more successful with your online
marketing efforts.
