The "Work Smarter Not Harder" Trap

from Internet Marketing and Entrepreneurship with Miles

Learn why working smarter is not enough… And how your competitors are most likely going to outperform you if you'd simply take the "work harder not smarter" approach. In this day and age it requires us to have a fire burning inside of us a burning desire and passion for what we are publishing and for serving the audience we've chose to be of service to. You need to be smart about what you're publishing, how your publishing it and how you approach your business online... Of course! But you also have to work hard, too.... Because it takes work to make a successful business! Success requires sacrifice. Successful business owners sacrifice vacation time, family time, happy hour time, weekend trips with friends, etc. And here's the cool part… You don't have to become an entrepreneur. If you want to become an employee who does well makes enough to get by and enjoys five weeks of vacation per year… Great! Just don't kid yourself or call yourself an entrepreneur if you're not putting in the time and energy… A.k.a. work required to truly grow successful business online. Because your competitors are working smarter and harder than you… Me included. That is exactly why them publishing a video a day, every single day. All of this while continuing to grow my main business with my wife... You see it's because talking the talk is not enough.  And if you think to yourself "what I'm working smarter so I'm good" that's the big trap because it can get you to become lackadaisical which opens up an opportunity for your competitors to overtake you. If you are smarter than your competitors, more strategic than your competitors, and you outwork your competitors… It doesn't even matter if they've had 2,3 or 5 years head start! You will eventually catch them and surpass them and dominate your niche. "Working smarter" also can create a feeling inside of people that leads them to look for "shortcuts" and "pushbutton systems" that do all the work for you… Which are simply fanciful messages created by marketers to sell you things that will not actually support you on your long-term path of success. By psychologically being ready to work smart and work hard that put you in the right position and the right mindset to do whatever it takes to achieve the success you desire. If you're ready to roll up your sleeves and get to work and work hard and smart… Leave me a comment below and let me know that you're in it for the long term!
