Working Hard vs. Working Smart

Beyond all the hype surrounding network marketing or succeeding in an online business, there is the alleged inescapable imposed ethic of “hard work”. Hard work is married to long hours, struggle, dismay and other undesirable feelings. However, it doesn’t have to be “hard work” in the way that we know it. I’ll explain.

I put hard work in quotes because to me, this isn’t about work, it’s about WORKING SMART. This means several different things.

First, I approach my work in a unique way. I am not “working hard” – I’m CREATING and INVESTING in something unique, massive, profitable and fulfilling. Attempt to get that distinction. This is about exploring the dynamic of who I am, who you are, what is possible, how to get there and enjoying the journey along the way. Quite a difference, is it not?

Secondly, working smart means being a master at MANAGING YOUR TIME. All millionaires have mastered the craft of efficient and disciplined time management. It is crucial to get this.

I didn’t get that distinction for years, and I’ve suffered for it as a result. When you truly understand that successfully managing your time is your greatest potential asset, you’ll automatically step into the shoes of a millionaire.

By the way, this is especially true if you are on a limited budget. Let’s say you are involved in a business opportunity of some sort, but don’t have much money to spend on advertising, say $500 per month. Your path to abundance lies in rolling up your sleeves and spending your TIME doing everything you can to increase revenue. I will go much more into detail about this in my blog here, but here are a few appetizers

Social media sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo Groups, Myspace – if you know how to market here, they can be a goldmine. These are areas in which I create on a massive scale.

So instead of hard work, I’d say re-state it as “Massive Creation”. Perhaps that will be a bit more helpful to anyone who is averse to the “paying your dues” ethic as a cornerstone of their lives. Instead of working hard, why not “create on a massive scale” instead?

Besides, hard work implies pain of some sort. When you think of working hard, what does that stir up? Long hours, sweat, frustration, delay. This should be fun, fulfilling, beneficial and most importantly, something that feels right.

Me? I love this. I love writing blog posts like this because I feel they make a difference. I love creating my wacky Youtube videos because I feel they are entertaining and educational.

Creating something out of your own mind and hand is one of the more blessed experiences you can have. I truly believe it fulfills a deeper need we all have to make this world a better place.

Now you may say that no matter what, it does take hard work to succeed. Afterall, bodybuilders work hard to have rock solid bodies, don’t they? I acknowledge that and would agree.

However, being into fitness myself, a curious thing happens. When you work out hard and it becomes a part of your lifestyle, you begin LOVING the work, or the workout. You actually look forward to it, you relish the burn your muscles feel when lifting them. You WANT to collapse in a heap of sweat and exhaustion. It really is a curious thing.

The pleasure derives from pushing past your limits into something bigger, better and fulfilling. So am I working hard? From a certain point of view, sure. But from my point of view, I’m creating and INVESTING. Those inspire different feelings, don’t they?

So adopt the mentality of Creative Immersion or Massive Creation instead of “Hard Work”. There is nothing wrong with working hard, but why not approach it from a different angle on a feeling level? You will be amazed at what you can achieve if you do it like this.
