Look around you: You can find people hustling, working extremely hard, but not getting ahead, everywhere. Hustle is clearly not the answer, and so much emphasis is put on it that people get led astray, thinking it’s all that they need. But if you’re hustling, doing the wrong thing, it doesn’t matter how hard you’re hustling, it’s still the wrong thing! This episode is about how to work smarter, not harder. While hustle and hard-work is a necessity, it’s not the end goal. In fact, your hard work should be with the goal of putting systems in place that allow you to work less hard to accomplish the same thing. Work smarter, use mentors, books, and online education to make your hard work as smart as it can be, and you will get ahead over time. “What gets you ahead is intelligence, leading to leverage” -Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind The world is full of people who work extremely hard, but are not succeeding, so it takes more than hard work.
