super unpopular opinion: we love to espouse the virtues of self-care, rigid hours, strict timelines, and rail against “working too much”, when the fact is that we live in a capitalist society where another business will eat your lunch if you don’t work harder than them.

and until we derive our value from some drastically different type of economy, it’s foolish to expect that minimal effort will net you success.

hard work - and often times more work - is the only thing that will get you ahead of the pack both personally and in business.

that being said, it doesn’t mean you have to be a dick about it.
