Nobody cares that you're working hard. It's all about the value you can provide.
If you wanted to dig a pond, would you hire a guy who's working with a spade and a shovel and needs three months to get the job done or a guy who uses an excavator and finishes it in two days?
To you, whether they work hard or not is irrelevant. What's relevant is how fast they can get the job done, how much it costs, and how good they are at digging ponds.
To reiterate, as an entrepreneur, if you want other people to pay attention to what you can do for them, it doesn't matter one iota how hard you work. It matters whether your work adds value or not. You can't advertise your services by telling people how much of a hard worker you are. Nobody cares. You sell your results.
People care about one primary question: "How will this guy's work make my life better?" Not: "How hard is this guy working to make my life better?"
By the way, this post was written with AI's assistance. Do you care how hard I worked at writing this post? Do you care that I made my job easier by using AI vs spending more time using my own brain only? Of course you don't. Because what matters is the value of this post, not how much time and effort it needed to get created.
