Throughout my life, countless people such as friends, family, customers and even competition has offered me unsolicited advice that I should do less.
“Don’t burn out,” they tell me.
First, I’m not a candle.
I produce energy at will and am incapable of burnout.
And YOU are not a candle either.
Maintaining work ethic and discipline is vital, and if you can do what other people can't or won't do—you have a massive competitive advantage.
There is a book that I read that changed the game for me on the subject of work ethic and self-discipline called The Problems of Work by L. Ron Hubbard. I learned why some people can produce so much through work and some cannot, and how to become excited and passionate about work—and why some people don’t have that.
Those are the characteristics of all super-successful, wealthy people. Steve Jobs talked about his love for work. Elon Musk is at work 16 hours a day. Warren Buffett talks about reading, working and learning. Wealthy people are high producers, and this book is about increasing production.
So if you are looking to increase your work ethic, self-discipline and get more enjoyment out of the work you do, I highly recommend you pick up a copy of The Problems of Work and put the information to use.
Be great,
