Do More...

Can you honestly put your hand up and say 'I am working to my fullest capacity'. Probably not! Then the next question is for you...why not? Are you scared your might actually achieve your dreams?

The truth is, regardless of how far we currently push ourselves, we can always work at least a further 1 to 100% harder. Fact!

According to Colin Powell, "A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work". Hard work simply means, pushing yourself past your comfort zones, putting in extra hours into your business, staying beyond your contracted working hours, etc. 

Defining Hard Work is simple. DO MORE!

DO MORE than you did yesterday
DO MORE than your competitors or counterparts
DO MORE than your body or your mind expects

Push past your limitations! The real secret was stated by Lowell Thomas "Do a little more each day than you think you possibly can". If you wish to succeed you must be willing to adopt a new mentally. The mentally that suggests that Hard work is your friend. 

I can across this very interesting mathematical formula - check it out

Think of the letters in the alphabet represented as numbers:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
Then:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

If you are not giving at least 98% effort, then it truly is not HARD WORK.

Thomas Edison once quoted "There is no substitute for hard work." If you look around, you will see that all great achievers have put in immense hard work". No successful person has ever vouched for their success through any other method, but hard work and dedication. Hard work seems to be the most consistent way to achieve your goal. In life we are simply rewarded fairly according to what we contribute and what value we add. As John Capuzzi quoted "A free lunch is only found in a mousetrap".
