Your sentence made me think of one sentence that I remember which was "sometimes we have to work smart, not hard" and yes sometimes we have to be able to work smart rather than hard, not meaning to belittle or mock those who work hard because basically people who work hard must try to meet their needs or the needs of their families and of course this is a good thing, but if you can work smart then we have to do it. Starting a business by selling an item is not enough, because to attract the interest of many people you have to be able to market your product attractively, with this there will be people who see the marketing you do and they are interested in buying, because if you only sell it without marketing it is not easy to succeed.
