Does hard work still equal success? For decades, we’ve been told that if we just grind harder, put in more hours, and hustle nonstop… success will eventually follow. But if that were true, why are so many people working harder than ever and still living paycheck to paycheck?
In today’s episode of the NetWealthNest Podcast, Jim Leboeuf breaks down one of the biggest money myths of the last century:
👉 Hard work alone no longer guarantees financial success.
Jim dives into the real reason why the old formula stopped working; including the rise of technology, automation, globalization, shareholder-driven corporate models, and the widening gap between productivity and wages.
Then we uncover the modern formula for financial growth: working smarter through leverage.
You’ll learn:
Why the “work hard = success” belief died decades ago
– How the 1970s shifted corporate priorities
– Why productivity skyrocketed while wages stalled
– Why adding more hours won’t solve money problems
The 3 Types of Leverage You MUST Use Today
1. Time Leverage – Systems that make money while you aren’t working
2. Money Leverage – Using your dollars as tools to create more dollars
3. Knowledge + People Leverage – Accelerating your growth through mentors, books, the internet, and AI
Jim also explains how books, online learning, and even simple conversations can compress decades of experience into hours — giving you a massive advantage over those who are still trying to “out-hustle” everyone.
How this applies to:
– Growing inside a W-2 job
– Starting a side hustle
– Becoming an entrepreneur
– Building long-term financial stability
– Escaping the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle
