I work non-stop now. And you know what? I’m loving every second of it.
I’m a high-school dropout. A two-time grad school drop out. A cubicle drop out. And the list goes on.
I thought I was lazy until I learned how to build my own life.
I thought I was lazy until I created my own job.
I thought I was a late-riser until I got two employees who start every morning at 8:00AM.
But now I’m 28, and I’m working on issues that existed long before I was ever born, and that will exist long after I’ve left this earth.
There’s so much talk these days about low-hour work weeks, lifestyle design, escaping from your cubicle, etc. etc. etc. And some times all this away-motivated psychology really gets me down.
Sometimes it seems like the only things people have to say about work is that they don’t want to do it. But sometimes freedom is being given the opportunity to work your ass off trying to make a difference.
But the truth is that nothing truly remarkable is easily done (if it could be done easily, it probably wouldn’t be that remarkable).
There are at least two type of business people: (1) opportunists who want to capitalize on the latest “tricks,” and (2) innovators focused on creating multiple billion dollars worth of value in the hopes of receiving a couple million in return.
Which one are you?
