54. The Power of Strategic Hard Work


Listen Later

Today we are chatting all about hard work and how it can lead to personal growth, as well as its impact on others!


Hard work is not just about putting in more time or energy, but it's about thinking at a higher level and solving problems in a more efficient way. I encourage you to approach hard work as an opportunity to up-level your thinking and get better results in less time. When facing a problem, you should ask yourself how you can simplify, streamline, and accelerate the process for your ideal audience to achieve better results.


However, this kind of work can be challenging because it requires resisting distractions and interruptions that can pop up in your head, such as notifications, household chores, etc. To overcome this, try scheduling uninterrupted time in your calendar to focus solely on thinking and being uncomfortable with the process. This means setting aside time to think without any distractions or interruptions and being disciplined about it.


The hard work of thinking at a higher level is what makes it challenging, as the brain is wired to conserve energy and keep us safe by sticking to familiar patterns of behavior. Therefore, doing up-level thought work requires intentional effort and discipline to overcome the brain's autopilot mode and achieve better results.


Overall, I hope this episode highlights the importance of approaching hard work with a problem-solving mindset and a willingness to think creatively to achieve better results. By improving different aspects of your business and creating differentiation, you can make your business more exciting and achieve greater success.
