Do you sleep? You could be working those hours instead.

Why sleep when you can take drugs!
I mean, yes, but don't waste a good high on working
Not wasting a good high on work WILL set you apart.
"Multifamily syndicator" seems like a euphemism for paying child support and alimony.
Though the reality is its when a group of investors become a landlord for a duplex. And with "$50 million in assets raised" it appears this guy convinced people to invest in a row of L.A. duplexes.
What a champ. A real market maker.
how to make money:
own property
charge poor people half their salary
???
write a blog telling poor people to work more
Don't forget this step:
write a book on how the poor can get rich like you (by selling your book to other suckers)
Or -
and just hear me out on this before you make any sort of judgements -
Fuck that shit
I use that reasoning to cram more time playing Baldur's Gate 3.
If you play bg3 from 4am to 8am that gives you the whole day to play more bg3!
It will set you apart. People will think of you as 'that maniac with no life'.
This is dumb. But just to talk corpo for a bit (because that is the reality for many of us): early in your career, putting in extra study time (or just making time on the clock if possible) will give you a leg up for certain kinds of white collar work. Just because you'll know more.
But doing work on weekends will set you apart as a damned sucker who can be used by others to make career moves. So do that if you want to feel someone's pump in your eye socket as they trample you to reach for their dream job.
You're never going to get promoted to an easier job if you've proven you can build like 2x more widgets than your co-workers.
You'll get to a better job by showing up with your co-workers to the boss' house and asking nicely.
I'm lucky enough with my position that we have pretty well defined pay bands that mention our levels of knowledge, easily identifiable systems and managers that are basically expected to pay us to those bands when our knowledge increases. The one thing we don't have is enough time to effectively skill people up past a certain point. If you can spare the time, you basically will get promoted. We also have a lovely flex time system - work whenever between 7-6:30 as long as you hit 36 hours a week over 3 months, never heard of any pressure to come in early or anything like that with it either.
It's as if we only exist to bring value to the lives of a few lucky individuals.
If you have time to waste posting such crap on linkedin, working on week-ends won't make you a tiny bit more productive.
It won't set you apart because, Jeffrey who does half the work of everyone else, is really good at selling himself and kissing ass. Your boss is just as overworked as everyone else is. And it's basically running on vibes at this point in time. So Jeffrey is going to get that next promotion.
Have fun working on the weekends and in a couple of months, working under Jeffrey!
I work four days a week and take good care of myself. It sets me apart. Last I saw the numbers, my sales for the month were more than time and a half the second place employee's. I am the stand out employee since my friend got a promotion. And I'm probably in line for the next one. If I work a fifth day, I have a mental breakdown. I promise. I Iove my job with everything in me, but I've never been stable working five days a week. I'm a high performance individual, and not overworking myself is essential to maintaining that.
Not overworking to maintain high performance is something missed or not cared about by so many companies.
It's like taking care of your chickens gives them a better life so they produce better and more eggs so you make more money. It's pretty obvious you take care of those you farm for your own benefit (as the rich farm us).
I'm so tired of the race to make the rich richer work cult
"If you work for part of the day you still get the day off" is certainly an...interesting perspective.
It you just stop sleeping, you'll be able to add 8 working hours per day! You can start at 11pm, stop at 7am and still have the entire day to work more at you're job. It'll add 40 working hours per week, 2080 hours or 260 working days for your boss!
It WILL set you apart
Coming to the office naked "WILL set you apart".
Punching your boss "WILL set you apart".
Overtly stealling office equipmemt "WILL set you apart".
Constantly bringing up the subject of your bowel movement "WILL [guess what...] set you apart".
I'd say the quality of this guy's advice is pretty well matched to the quality of the "argument" he provided to justify it.
