Here’s how he rolls:įun stuff, but to get there, it’s hard work. He owns an island and is realizing a dream of getting people to travel to space for leisure. On a different category of his own, Sir Richard Branson is the billionaire who owns Virgin Group that consists of approximately 500 companies.

His endeavor is to reduce meaningless work by maximizing your output per hour, and allocate that free time on any other things to you heart’s content. On the other end of the spectrum, here’s one who deserve accolades for his hustle and hard work – Tim Ferriss, the 4-hour workweek guru/entrepreneur/investor/author: Tim Ferriss: Master of efficiency and lord of learning But you get my point: He work hard, smart and fast, and I doubt that there are anyone else who out-hustle him. I suspect that it might be not his typical day, because he can attend his kid’s recitals, take vacations and so on. Hustle/entrepreneur/social media guru/investor/author: If I should mention one name, one of the people who deserve accolades for working hard is my man Gary Vaynerchuk, the Mr. Gary Vaynerchuk: Master hustler and epic grinder You’ll see that hard work shouldn’t have only one definition. Fair enough: Let these three mentors who I respect explains what hard work is.
You might say who am I to rant about hard work. You see, I’m not even sure that you work harder than me )īut enough about the rant. But just don’t judge me with your definition of hard work. Staying at home like an unemployed? To some, uncool.Īgain, I think that working long hours, etc.
Who’s cool is he/she who doesn’t go home for weeks – even months. Who’s cool is he/she who meet with potential partners until midnight. Who’s cool is he/she who is traveling hundreds of mile a day running a business. Now, some people might say that those are cool, but unfortunately, some of the closest people I know (not my spouse and kids, fortunately) think that what I do at the other spectrum of ‘cool’.

And yes, I support my family with 100% online income. I have a couple of freelancers working for me, and I can hire 10 more if I needed to – thanks to the available online forums and marketplaces.Īll is done online. I run an online business that comprises an inbound marketing company, business online magazines, and blogs. Well, in fact, I can work anywhere, anytime I want. What bother me is that some people think that their definition of hard work should be my definition of it. To get started, when you heard of ‘hard work’, what are the first things that come to mind? If I were asked the question, I’d answer, “Hard work is when you use your time efficiently and effectively, in such a way that you and your business return more than the time, money and effort you’ve invested in.”īut it seems that, in our society – at least in the society in my home country – hard work means work long hour, travel long and far, jumping from one meeting to another meeting, go to work at 5 AM and got back home at 11 PM, work on the weekends and everything else in between. But no worries, I’ll make this short, sweet and actually useful – pinky promise :) Perhaps this is one in a hundred posts I wrote that contain rants. Okay, first and foremost, I’d like to let you know that I want to rant a bit.
