Is it hard work or hardly working? I was talking to a gentleman about one of my business opportunities. It was a follow-up call to see if he was ready to join me on this wonderful journey. His energy was very low when we started to converse. That was not a good sign. It was clear is he was very pessimistic. He stated that he was not interested in the business opportunity because the people that he would be recruiting would have to work hard.
I can hear Donna Summer singing she works hard for the money. So hard for it, honey. So, you better treat her right…….
He mentioned the words hard work like they were profane words. I was not shocked when he said his statement. I know that most people who fail in life do it because they are lazy and do not what to put the necessary effort into something to make it work. They just want to cruise through life hoping that money, fame and power will just land in their lap. That is a pipe dream.
News flash! Nothing worthwhile comes easy, but it really does not have to be hard either. It is just thinking that makes it so. I start my day usually at 3am and end about 10pm,only to get up and do it all over again the next day. I do this seven days a week, normally. I confessed this to another young lady and she gasped for air. She thought she was working hard until she heard my story.
But really, I do not think I work hard. You see, when you love what you do, it does not feel like hard work. Moreover, if you chose to think that it is not hard, it will not be. I consider myself playing in life-just like my kids. My kids get up very early because they know they are going to play. They are so excited and optimistic about the day. Who wants to sleep?
I suggest you do the same. Try each new day with an attitude of gratitude and play at what life has to offer. Go to your job and do your business with the mindset that I enjoy what I do and I am going to have fun.
Hard work or hardly working? It’s all a mindset. Which one will you choose for yourself today? Tomorrow, I will be hardly working. I will be playing. Anyone care to join me?
Do you work hard at business and life? What is your opinion of this post. I’d love to get some feedback.
Have a prosperous day,
Elon
Good Elon. You have to work hard to acheive goals in life.
After reading your post and watching the video it immediately puts you in a different mind set. We get so tied down with the same old thing and forget our dreams. Your post is a reality check to push forward and believe in yourself. Thank you
Very well stated. Most people want the rewards but don’t want to put in the work to get them. Its all about your ATTITIDE ! ! ! !
I can relate to this article so much in terms of wanting something like financial success but having no idea of the time and commitment it takes to achieve it. Time management is the key. I truly believe that people who learn to master their time are the ones who see the most benefits.
