info_outlineWho are some of the hardest working people that you know? Is it your parents? Oftentimes, we model our work ethic based on what we saw our parents do for us. How hard they worked to provide us with a life where we can work hard for our children. Maybe it’s your grandparents.
When I think about hard working people, I think of course about my mother who worked nights for 25 or so years so she could be home during the day. I think about my dad who launched his own business and had to work so hard to make nothing into something. I think about my grandmother who was 1 of 7 children and was required to be one of the providers for her siblings.
I consider myself to be a hardworking person, but I’ve never worked around the clock or worked the graveyard shift. One could say that my mother has worked much harder than I could ever fathom to. But yet, I probably made more than her in my first year out of college than she did in her 25 years at her job. Same with my father and grandmother.
Today, we’re talking about why you need to stop working so hard.
“There’s a lot of rhetoric that wants you to believe that the path to getting to the success that you want to have, is purely through hard work. Yet, the hardest working people we know, were not always the most successful.”
