Work Is Not A Dirty Word

You scour the web looking for the latest list post promising to change your life.

You search weeks for the "perfect" course that will take you and your business to the next level.

You tweet the top crypto leaders hoping them they will give you the inside information you need to x100.

You do everything.... but the actual work.

Look. I'll be the first to admit I'm lazy. So are you. We're human.

But knowing you're lazy and doing something about it are two very different things.

If you're not getting the results you want in life, another useless list post won't help you.

In fact, it will comfort you in a time when you NEED to be uncomfortable.

I get so many emails and comments from our fellow steemians who are frustrated with their lack of "progress" here on Steemit.

When I look at their profile they've been around the block maybe a week, a month tops.

Take for example my early Steemit friend Kaylin (aka @Kaylin Art).

She's been hustling her fucking face off since she joined the platform just over a year ago.

One post. two posts. Three posts.

Daily.

Some are good. Some are eh. But she showed up. And she was rewarded.

She didn't whine. She didn't bitch. She just put in the work.

She's one of the "lucky" one's they shout from the rooftops.

But we all know she is anything but.

After all, luck is attracted to the sweat that rolls off your back when putting in the work.

As entrepnuer Peter Thiel aptly declares: "The harder I work, the more luck I have."

Work isn't a dirty word. It's the entry fee for future success.

So stop searching for that magic bullet... it's already right in front of you.

It's pretty rudimentary stuff. Read, comment, post, repeat. It's a bit like work. Give it a try and stop whining.

You "get" it. ;-)

The site does pay you. I would think people would see the correlation to work. :-)

All about that grind! Love this ;)

Hell yes! Hard work and consistency equals success. Nicely done.

Cool post man, for me as a newbie it's putting the feet on the ground with some of that good ol' common sense - plus adding the imperative to keep it, and stay, real!
