Effective Rule #10 – Work Your Butt Off

Rule of Thumbs

  • Work a lot, spend a little, invest the difference
  • Have a high pain threshold, don’t start counting the reps until it hurts
  • Invest your money on growth not comfort
  • There is no shortcut to success

“Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better. Don’t wish for less problems, wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenge, wish for more wisdom.”

Jim Rohn

Tenets

  • If you want something you have to be relentless
  • 1 hour a day compounds
  • Most things are more rewarding when you break a sweat to get them (M.M.)
  • “You’re growing or dying” , therefore, focus on growth

“To get what you want, you have to deserve what you want. The world is not yet a crazy enough place to reward a whole bunch of undeserving people.”

Charlie Munger

Beware

  • When working hard, happiness will steadily decline for those that do not take care of themselves accordingly.
