Working smart is more important than working hard, but working hard and smart is rocket fuel under the right business. Working hard is 65+ hours a week. Use the weekends to gain a competitive edge 99% won't do - its a superpower.

It's a little rich having to listen to Irish politicians waxing lyrical about 'consumers bearing the brunt of cost' on tariffs when they all support extortionate levels of tax on petrol & diesel, which drives up transport costs for all goods, as well as 23% VAT on retail & VRT.
