On hard work, the hustle.

First, a disclaimer as I’m speaking from personal experience here, and my experience can’t possibly be that of someone else’s… so people will disagree. Just to let you know.

Work.

All the success books teach us that you don’t need to work hard to be successful, right?

You know the old cliché – Work smarter, not harder?

Yeah.

Though it’s not hard to be successful… meaning you don’t have to work hard to be successful, like they all say… I think VERY few highly successful people became successful in an easy manner.

When you’re there, it’s not hard.

But what about GETTING THERE in the first place?

If you read almost any really successful person’s biography, I think very few of them will say that one day, they just decided “nah, I don’t wanna be unsuccessful anymore, let’s be successful instead!” and then they made a billion dollars the next day.

I find it a little hard to express myself here, but what I’m trying to say is… You need to HUSTLE to GET SUCCESSFUL, but when you’re there it’s not so hard anymore.

When you are genuinely successful, it will be just as EASY as it previously was to be unsuccessful.

So yes, being successful isn’t especially difficult – but getting there is a whole other story.

Sure, if you can go from being completely unsuccessful to having the mindset of Mr. Gates overnight – then sure it won’t be so hard getting there. But I don’t think that will happen for a whole lot of people any time soon.

So what I’m saying is - YOU NEED TO FIGURE IT OUT FOR YOURSELF.

If you’re not successful right now – and you want to be…

STOP making excuses and START HUSTLING.

That’s all.

Linus.

Hard work is the only way to achieve what you want, nothing comes the easy way unfortunately
