The world is full of people who worked hard and died broke.
OBVIOUSLY “working harder” is not the way to achieve your dreams.
The people who “work hard” are toiling so that other people… probably people they don’t even know… can achieve THEIR goals.
Knowing WHAT to do and HOW do to something are orders of magnitude more important than the time and effort you spend actually doing it, whatever “it” is.
That’s the secret. That’s what “they” don’t want you to know. The rest is up to you.
