It's easier if you just convince a lot of wage slaves that they can be successful like you if they work as hard as you do, and make then insecure and deluded by overinflating both how many hours you work (because you're always working) and guilting them into working insane hours of actual grueling work to make you more money.
Then when they are burned out from seeing minimal gains and advancement, you either get them to quit so they dont "infect" anyone else with their negativity or lay em off and bring in a new batch of bright eyed idiots you can convince to work their a**es off for you...
