Hard Work Without Strategy Fails

Everyone thinks hard work is the answer. But this guy worked 80 hours a week

for two years and got nowhere. While his friends relaxed, he grinded.

No sleep. No breaks. Just constant hustle. And he ended up burnt out,

broke, and behind everyone who worked smarter. Psychology calls this the effort

justification trap. Your brain convinces you that because you're working hard, you must be making

progress. But effort without direction is just expensive therapy. You're not lazy

if you're tired from doing the wrong things. You're just lost. The people winning

aren't working harder. They're working on what actually moves the needle. They say no to busywork.
