Be Willing To Work

Posted on March 23, 2026

Everyone wants an easy route to success. Sit on the beach, drink Mai-Tai’s and let the wins pile up.

That would be great!

It’s not really realistic though. I suppose a few people could organise their situation to have this happen. Though I doubt it would work for most people.

Recall music or sports managers or agents that have ripped off people. You can outsource work, but you had better be very tightly managing the outsource activity. Trust but verify – daily! At worst you could do it weekly. But do not leave it longer than that.

Work To Precision

Posted on January 10, 2025

Don’t Generalise. Get precise and expect others to do the same. Get specific on dates and times and lengths, processes and outcomes.

If you work with general, you’re likely to get average results at best. The more precision you have, the more success you will have too.

You want precision in warfare, surgery, finances and legal matters, to name just a few.

Would you accept a paycheck “sometime during the month for a few thousand”? Or would you want to know which specific date in the month that your agreed $4,897,89 was going to arrive in your account?

Avoiding Work Is Avoiding Opportunity

Posted on August 24, 2024

It is easy to dismiss work as hard, boring, dirty, tiring or dismal. This is not a helpful way to look at things. Check yourself if this is the only way you see work, as you may lean to the negative, which you may want to adjust.

Work can also be interesting, fun, enjoyable, creative, confidence-building and energising.

How you see it is in part how you see things generally and also what it is. You can change what you do and you can change how you see things, so don’t delay in making some changes.

Work Backward

Posted on February 18, 2024

Pick your desired goal or destination and work backward to uncover what needs to be done and when.

The timelines will seem tighter but that is fine. There will seem like more work to do than you thought but that’s fine. You’ll need to do more than you thought so just get on with it.

Work Swiftly

When you have work to do, work swiftly. Stay focused on the task at hand and get things done quickly. It’s efficient and you’ll feel better about getting it down without dilly-dallying.

Hard Work And Luck

Posted on March 8, 2023

These both look the same. The results can lull you into a false sense of comfort and expectation.

Being a millionaire may have come from hard work as an employee or a business builder. But you could have also simply won the lottery. In both cases you can enjoy or show off your wealth. No one needs to know how you got it.

However, you’ll know how you got it. And one route is vastly more likely to have eventual success than the other.

So start off with hard work and if you get a lucky break along the way, enjoy it.
