    Motivated employees get taken advantage of with more work with no pay raises. These workers have finally learned and reduced their production to be even with those around them.

    P.S. If this is you, like it was me, learn entrepreneurship. The harder you work, the more success you have.

      Is it really “learn entrepreneurship,” or is it actually “have capital”

        The key is to have enough to fail. That’s why you see successful house flippers or whatever who started out with money. They may have started 2 or 3 businesses before they found what worked.

        If you start out with only enough money for one business or house, you will be struggling for a long time because you have to make it work to survive. You have no money to expand if it’s a good idea and no money to quit and start over.

        The best thing to start with is luck. Second best is enough money, so you can try several times.

        When I started, I setup hosting and created 100 websites selling other people’s products. It was like $50/mo to do it. There’s ways to start a business without capital.

        These days I would do TikTok videos selling other peoples products. No hosting needed

      The harder you work, the more success you have.

      I mean if your definition of success is being rewarded with more work with no pay raise then sure, but that’s just not true anymore. People used to believe that and they got taken advantage of, and you even addressed this in the first part of your comment. The real lesson needs to come from the top down. If you want your employees to work harder, pay them more.

        You missed a part of the comment you are replying to. tygr said “The harder you work, the more success you have.” in relation to the previous sentence about changing from wage slave to entrepreneur.
