Smart Business


 

We have all heard the expression work harder not smarter, and while I do agree with this, the reality is that to really succeed you need to work hard and smart.  The world in general is becoming smarter, or at least people are becoming more informed.  With communication technology being what it is today the questions people used to take classes or read books to answer can be readily answered in about 5 minutes with a quick Google search.   People on average know more they are becoming smarter.  So now with a more level playing field what is it that separates one competitor to another?  Good old-fashioned hard work, the desire to be better and the drive to put in the time and effort to make the desire a reality.

 

For years, and even still, our society has been built around the idea of making things easier, giving people the option to do less and achieve the same result.   A good example is the internet, over the last thirty years online shopping and search engines have allowed people to do what would have formally taken them days or even weeks to accomplish.  Now it can be done in mere moments.   

 

This is not necessarily a bad thing if only you could remove the undeniable tendency of people taking advantage.  Simply said when things are handed to people they stop trying to work for them, and when it comes time to work for something people don’t know how.  This is a problem, life is not easy, and most things that are worth it take hard work.  There is a very negative symptom that is a result of simplifying life, look at the crooked financial sector, people just trying to make money the easiest and quickest way possible, look at the rise in the divorce rate worldwide, people just aren’t willing to work at a relationship anymore, look at the career path of so many individuals today they just bounce from job to job to job with no loyalty or thought at all.

 

Making things easier is not the answer, to a degree it helps, but ultimately nothing good comes easy.  That is why today working smarter is not enough, everyone can be smart, if you want to get ahead you need to work hard.  This presents a golden opportunity to those of you that have the ability to put your noses to the grindstone and do more then just coast by.
