To be successful, you have to be able to work hard in
silence and let success make the noise. When people are putting forty hours
work week, you need to put eighty to a hundred hours a week, which in turn
improves your odds of success. It sounds crazy, but it pushes you to be
extraordinary.
But what pushes some people to work so hard? How is it
possible to have so much determination or even the discipline? Is it
conceivable to achieve your goals in a shorter period of time?
The first thing that pushes certain individuals to work hard
is hunger. Even if intelligence is a valuable tool, there are a lot of smart
people out there that cannot fight their way out of a paper bag. But when
someone has a hunger that does not go away, to be more, do more, get more, and
never ends, it becomes a person who is the best at what they do.
I believe that everybody has that hunger, but for some
people, it has been lifeless for a long time. The reason being is that they are
afraid to try or to fail. It is human nature to protect yourself from the fear
by lowering your expectation. But you get what you tolerate. While some people
accept their fate, others decide that enough is enough.
Therefore, when you decide to make a change, it is the
beginning of a breakthrough. You then create a different vision for yourself.
Some of you are already doing it right now. More than ever, it is a time to
begin working hard, in silence, and inoculate yourself with positive words.
When you work hard in silence, you create a different and
new you which then become unstoppable. You have to replace the negative garbage
which is polluting your mind and replace it with optimistic thoughts. If not,
you will slowly die at age 25 and will not get buried until you are 75.
Get a Clear Vision and Work Hard
If you are reading this article, it is because you are different from everyone
else. To work hard, you need a clear vision of where you are going and what you
want. You have to focus on you, and not try to convince people who do not
believe in what you see the future to be.
When you go outside and look for pigeons, it is pretty easy,
but if you are looking for eagles, it may take you a few minutes to find them.
The fact is that when you reach the top and let success make the noise, it
feels kind of lonely but you have to remember, you eat better.
There are times, and days such as certain mornings where it
is better not to think, but to get up, work hard, and in silence. Do what you
have to do. Then read or learn something new. But there are other times when you
have to think and get really creative. You need to keep a clear vision of what
you want and grind. Then make a dollar into two, invest it and grow your net
worth.
Roll Up Your Sleeves and Work Hard
The reality is that reading a book, going to a conference, having a great
conversation where you get this golden information is fantastic. But what makes
mastery is execution on the ideas. No concepts work unless you are willing to
roll up your sleeves, do the practice, invest the time, put the effort, and work
hard.
We have all observed a lot of people, who love reading the
books, showing at the courses, doing all of the online training but nothing
ever changes. And they do not know why it does not work, why their lives do not
improve or why their thinking stills the same.
Well, it is because ideas do not work if you do not execute
on them. You have to work hard. If you look at any great entrepreneur, leader
or performer, there is one thing that makes them prodigious, and that is their
grit. It is their hunger, determination, and perseverance to practice that
makes them who they are. Successful people are willing to make all the
sacrifices.
Work Hard with Passion and Shift Your Mindset
And yes, they are passionate. So you also have to be obsessive. Do you know the
root of the word passion? It is "suffering." Therefore you have to be
willing to suffer and work hard for your vision. You got to feel the pain to
reach the top and be one of the best in the world.
You have to be able to suffer the laughter and ridicule of
your critics and cynics to get to a place called success. And as you get to
that area, let victory speaks for itself. For all of it, you have to change
your mindset. And in this shift, you must accept appreciation.
The truth is that often, everything is about getting, so
what we focus on is somewhat what we do not have. Therefore, you have to shift
your mindset from focusing on what you lack to the connection of the growth and
goals you want to achieve. You have to work hard every day until you accomplish
what you desire.
Work Hard by Practicing Repeatedly
No matter what is going on in your life, I know that there will be things that
knock you down, stuff that sucks or reasons to be unhappy but there is always a
reason to bounce back. How do I know that? Well, I do also have them in my
life; we all do. But it is how you deal with what is happening.
There is no magic button to build self-confidence. Hard work
and repetition is the key to confidence. Let me remind you of the ten thousand
hours rule. There is no secret formula other than practicing the same thing
over and over until you master it.
The problem is that you cannot expect to have confidence or
mastery tomorrow. But you can build confidence if you put yourself in a
situation where the skill you have to learn is getting you under pressure, and
you are pushed to work hard. It is your ability to practice and keep trying
that makes you an expert.
Work Hard and Let Success Make the Noise
Most people have a problem with repetition, and it is that a lot of them bail
after a little bit of failure. Have you ever bailed after the first bit of
adversity? At times I know I did. There is nothing to be ashamed of. We are all
used to repeat something, but you just have to practice and work hard at your
craft if you want to master it, and never accept failure.
Determination and persistence are great tools to use. So,
you have to persist. All I care about and all that matter to you is what your
mindset is like regarding today and your future. Keep your 'why' in your mind,
work hard in silence and let success speak. You can, you will, and you must.
