Ok now i know i said hard work doesnt matter, ofcoarse it does.
I have seen many people here talking about working hard, doing this etc. I think people really need to stop and think for a second. Hard work and persistence will only pay off if you have a smart plan.
Its almost as if your strategy has a ranking (1-10)
and your hardwork has a ranking (1-10)
Hardwork is hardwork, it does not get compounded.
Once you have a smart strategy hard work only compounds that more and more.
It would be more important to be at a (10)strategy and a (2)hardwork than to be at a (10)hardwork and a (2) strategy.
As you shop around for Christmas look at people getting of nice cars and spending money, do you honestly believe they are the only hard workers? The guy loading up the Christmas tree probably works alot hard then the guy's escalade hes throwing it on top of.
Now dont get me wrong i think any person starting out in business should put in atleast 12 hour days but im trying to make a point, dont kid yourself into thinking its all about hard work, strategy is very very important and without it, you will never be financially free.
So before you start working, sit down and come up with a smart business, a smart way to grow it, and a smart way to run it.
