Surely, the most important aspects of making it in business is the importance of hard work and dedication, yet I never see it discussed here. Its just a stream of shitty memes of people bitching about the latest shit-coin thats gone tits up

Do people here actually work hard, or is it just a bunch of stoners who bought a load of bitcoin in the early days to buy their drugs and have just been riding that wave of luck since?

Is hard work really just a meme, or is it truly the key to the kingdom?

I want to hear about people who grafted hard, how they kept their focus and how it was worth it in the end! Surely that's what biz is about?

I suppose I would say, as cliche as it is, you need to work hard but work smart.

If you're working hard, make sure its to benefit yourself. Even if its just learning a good skillset whilst working for someone else.

If you're a wagie with very little benefit from working hard then do as little hard work you can and use that energy to find an avenue in whereby when you do work hard it benefits you directly

Well these days that means you are incapable of writing three pages on something(or you would be a graduate in social currents) and can't do basic addition and subtraction (if you could you would be a brand engineer). So modern degrees are laughable jokes but if you don't have one it means you could not even write down the punchline. Consider becoming the subject of a charity that does research.

Good now....first you need a certification to give you certificates in these subjects, you will only need one host and three dns entres

The first should give awards in Martial arts from apprentice to engineer and consultant it should have O about 10 pages of text and images with about us and high professional standards and VERY stringent conditions, now do the same for insect engineers. Better leave VBA alone actually because Microsoft have laywers.

Now you CV reads VERY differently, you are a fully chartered insectologist from the insitute of insect engineering but not just that you are the founder and CEO of the Chartered Martial Arts Engineering and Consulting Group and yourself a fully qualified Martial Artrs consultant.

hard work is important because you want to have the ability to invoke a strong work ethic if you ever find yourself in a position where working hard has exponential value returns to you

I have worked hard at every job and it hasn't netted out much other than extreme success and skillsets that develop 2x faster than my peers.

But then I launched a web3 company last year and the ability to work 18 hour days without batting an eye helped me net 400k last year. If I hadn't cultivated work ethic I would not have been able to capitalize on the bull run last year.

Although HW&Gr is an appealing ideal and even principle, there is a long history of kikes going to extraordinary lengths on multiple fronts over century on century to insult the payment of wages to white people. HW&Gr would be easy to inspire in whites if an economic innovation could stabilize Occidental economies such that demographic, relativist, gene pool insult fratricides, prepared famines, poisoned wells and other expropriation factors were factored out. A coin that was genetically verified so that all and only white people could exchange in it would make matters of HW&Gr worth sticking to over generations.

These are akin to feel good platitudes you get on motivational youtube channels. Detached from reality and meaningless. The system is designed to keep you where you are and to transfer wealth from you to those above you in the ponzi. Working hard is a concept from a dead era and should be considered a meme in 2022; imagine the CEO of coke working his way up from a warehouse worker in today's environment like one did back in the 80's. 2022 exists at the dawn of techno-feudalism and anyone who hasn't got their hands on a sizeable amount of assets already will remain in their position they are born in forever (and so will their offspring). Globalism sealed the death of the middle class and possibility of hard work resulting in a better position in the ponzi as it has introduced what is in effect worldwide labour arbitrage. If you must wage slave do as little as possible and accept that there is little hope in improving your position beyond the crypto casino.
