How to Work Less... and Get Paid More!
An excerpt from "The Lazy Man's Guide to Online Business"
Highly effective "lazy people" know exactly what they want… and they are bound and determined not to put
in any more effort than they must to reach a goal - but reach it they do, and most of the time much
faster than people who are "hard workers"!
I've listened to lots of people who are proud of putting in 18 or 20-hour days. Personally, I would not want
to admit that it took me 18 or 20 hours to do a 2 or 3-hour task.
I remember reading about a well-known car company businessman. One of his senior VPs
once bragged to him of the long days he put into work, every day of the week, each month.
Rather than getting the executive's praise, this individual got chewed out for being so inefficient.
Think about this point if you happen to fall into the "workaholic class" in conducting your online
business.
Do you want a life… and does your family wish for one too?
If you want to claim back your time, your life and your sanity from the never-ending stream of
activity and "wheel spinning" that seems to eat up every day after unproductive day…
Become a "Lazy Achiever!"
Think about people you may know or read about who are ultra-successful. I’m not talking about those people
who work 18 hours a day, 7 days a week, are always stressed and have the "appearance" of success. Those people
have no balance and usually have terrible home lives. They don’t know their spouses and their kids run wild
through the neighborhood terrorizing the innocent.
I’m talking about those people who make more money, have more free time, and have total balance in their
lives. They don’t do anything without a clear end result in mind. They are the ultimate "lazy achievers".
Everything they do, say and even their thoughts have a purpose that achieves results.
I know people who make $500,000 to over $5,000,000 a year who other people look at and wonder how they do
it. They say things like "How does she make so much money? She doesn’t DO anything!" or "He is about the
laziest sucker I know, he’s got it all figured out.", or some variation on the same theme.
People who make those statements are only partially right. What they should really say is "He doesn’t do any
more than necessary to make all that money."
It’s not that "lazy achievers" skimp on effort, "short-change" people on service or deliver inferior quality
products. Not at all! They actually deliver the best products and services at the right price because
doing so creates the least work in the long run.
Terrific, well-executed products and services have very low return rates and require the least technical
support - a lazy person’s dream!
These lazy achievers understand the definition of efficiency:
Ef-fi-cien-cy (n) def. Accomplishment of or ability to accomplish a job with a minimum expenditure of
time and effort
That minimum expenditure of time and effort is what sets all super "lazy" achievers apart from the rest of
the pack that either sit on their duffs doing nothing, or spin their wheels 18 hours a day accomplishing 4
hours worth of work and expecting praise for "working hard"!
There is a better way… learn how to become a Super
"Lazy Achiever"!
