      Work smart means getting other people to do the work for you and keeping most of the profit for yourself.

        That’s absolutely not what it means. As someone who went from homelessness to 6-figures, smart moves don’t require stomping on others.

            Both are true, of course. Working smart is of course easier if you have options other than working at McDonalds vs. Burger King, and if you can grow in them. If you don’t have too many pressing needs that are so immediate that you can’t spend time on the side studying etc.

            It’s good to be born with the privilege of being able to take time off or do your work in a smarter way, but that is a privilege not everyone has
