There’s a REAL problem with the following piece of advice: work hard.
What’s the problem with working hard?
Working hard is subjective. What’s hard to you might be VERY EASY to me.
Time is tangible & objective, hard is VERY subjective.
Time is REAL and “hard work” is ONLY in the mind.
So, if you want more accomplished in a day, you put in more time in a day.
When you want to get more accomplished, you must simply work more. It is as SIMPLE as that.
You don’t “work harder” because that’s not REAL, you simply work more.
You don’t put in some “more extra hard work” in a day, you just put in extra time and get shit done.
TIME is what is required of you if you ever want to create something of VALUE…
One thing I ALWAYS receive is a TON of comments saying something VERY similar to… “Congratulations on all your success. You deserve it because you worked so hard.”
And that statement is REALLY only half true.
I do deserve ALL of the SUCCESS that I have managed to ACHIEVE and acquire for myself…
…But NOT because I worked hard. Because the REAL actual TRUTH is, I didn’t work hard.
I simply worked more and did NOT QUIT or GIVE UP.
Hard work had NOTHING to do with it. What is “hard” about typing on the computer?
NOTHING is “hard” about what I do.
And I keep saying it. And you guys DON’T want to believe me. You think I’m lying to you about working hard when I don’t actually even WORK HARD.
I just work more, and I don’t NEVER ever QUIT.
Chopping trees is a very HARD job. That would be insanely HARD. But I don’t chop trees. I just type words on a computer.
And if my job was to chop trees, chopping trees harder would not be beneficial because I would burn out faster.
I would find a way that I could chop trees efficiently, NOT harder.
Because I would want to get through the day and every single day and not be burnt out.
So, working harder even if you have a hard job, is VERY stupid advice.
They say that success is a marathon and not a sprint. And it’s correct.
If you want success tomorrow, well, you’re shit out of luck.
Because even working hard is not going to give you success that working consistently will give you. Consistent work is what pays off.
And again, I get these guys e‑mailing me saying… I’ve been at it for two months, six months, a year and I haven’t seen success yet.
And I say, of course you haven’t, you fucking retard.
It takes consistency. It does not happen overnight. It does not happen fast like that.
You know how much I made the first year? I made zero. The first year.
You know how much I made the second year? $15,000 U.S., second year.
It does not happen overnight.
And hard work again ‑‑ hard work has nothing to do with it.
Consistent work beats out hard work… every single time.
What is hard work anyway?
Somebody types harder than you?
Somebody makes YouTube videos harder than you?
See, hard work is just a way to not do any actual work.
It’s just a thing you say… Oh, I’m a hard worker, bro. I work so hard. He just works harder than you. You’re just jealous because he works harder than you.
How does anybody work harder than you?
You’re either working or you are NOT working… at all.
Somebody works more than you. Nobody works harder than you.
You hear this bullshit about people in shape, and people accused them of steroids, and some dorks will say…
“No, he just works hard in the gym. He just does dumbbell curls really hard and that’s how he got that physique.
Wasn’t because he in the gym every day for 10 years.
Wasn’t because he took steroids, it’s because he did fucking dumbbell curls harder than anyone else.”
But I’ve illustrated my point that hard work is ‑‑ just a fairytale. It’s not REAL. It’s not how you get or achieve any kind of success.
You put in the hours.
You put in the work every single day and in every single way you are consistent. There’s NOTHING hard about it.
Even if your job is chopping trees, you don’t want to chop harder because then you won’t have energy to chop the next tree.
You want to find a steady pace and chop consistently.
If you’re online and trying to make money you need to be consistent.
So many of these guys GIVE UP. They work hard, they work hard for a month or two.
They don’t see anything and then they give up.
I worked consistent for five YEARS.
I told you I made $15,000 the second year. That’s a joke. That’s a joke of money, I could spend that TONIGHT very easily.
That could just disappear from my account and I wouldn’t even ‑‑ I wouldn’t even know. I wouldn’t even notice it at all.
Hard work is for SUCKERS. Consistent work is for WINNERS.
Be the winner. Be consistent.
Forget about when the dorks say or tell you to WORK HARD.
Just simply work more. That is the ONLY thing that you ever need to focus on really doing.
Until next time.
