So Work Smart!

There is a belief that dates back to the dawn of time that he who works hardest is the one who always succeeds. This is a myth and needs to be packaged up and sent to the big deceiver in the ground. One of favourite examples of this is “practice makes perfect”. This is an absurd saying, because practicing the wrong thing a million times will not trigger perfection to take place. Now Mike Litman, a motivational speaker that I absolutely admire always says “You Don’t Have To Get It Right, You Just Have To Get It Going!” At first blush it would seem doing it wrong is ok; however this is not the case Mike is simply saying, don’t wait until everything is perfect get started “DOING IT” and improve as you go.

Hard work is not the solution to being effective in marketing, “WORKING SMART” is! If working hard alone was the key to success then all those people that stand over railway track and hammer spikes all day would all have million dollar bank accounts. Our school system and our society as a whole has been convinced that if you find a good job and work hard for your employer you will have womb to tomb employment. I call people every day that had a job and have lost it, even though they were a hard worker. With the economy entering into one of the worst economic collapses since the 30s and all those hard workers are being educated in reality, it’s called “unemployment”.

Not to long ago I spoke to a friend about joining me in my business and he said that he already had a great business and did not need what I had to offer. My friend had a farming operation and by all appearances, seemed to be doing very well for himself. Using his own carpentry skills, he built his own farm house along with a host of other farm buildings, with one being a 100,000 dollar pig barn. He had a new tractor and other assorted equipment that he operated to maintain his crops and livestock. Each morning, my friend would be up at 5am and tending his stock by 6 am (7days a week). Then he would be out working his fields through the day and evenings during the planting and harvesting seasons. No one could deny the fact that my friend worked very, very hard and had much to show for his efforts.


I asked my friend what he would do if he became injured and could not handle carrying the pales of feed, throwing the bales of hay or driving the tractor.  He told me he did not know what he would do. He said that if it was serious and the healing time prevented him from working his farm for very long he said it could result in him losing his farm.  He had been operating under the assumption that hard work would be enough; but he like all those that have jobs don’t often realize until something bad happens, if you cannot continue to work hard you can lose it all.


John Paul Getty said that he would rather have 1 % of the invested efforts of 100 people than 100% of the efforts of 1 person. Network marketing offers people this ability and it is why Robert Kyosaki and Donald Trump devoted an entire chapter in their bestselling book   “WHY WE WANT TO MAKE YOU RICH” to this topic. Sadly there are a lot of people that also use this same flawed strategy of working hard to build their MLM business and it does not work. To be successful in MLM you need to work smart and not hard and when you know, understand and apply the correct strategies and systems your bank account will reflect why working smarter just makes more sense. You may be an amazing prospector and sign people into your business every day or week but if what you do is not duplicateable you have a job and when you stop working hard you will lose it all.
