Work Hard or Work Smart?
There are a lot of blogs that talk about their earning reports, quick tips and tutorials. These blogposts actually motivate me as an online entrepreneur (self proclaim) and made me wonder if they are working hard or working smart?
This week, I did a lot of tasks at hand, some sort of a full-forced-get-it-done-asap work. I set aside a large percentage of my reading and researching and focused on application of what I have learned these past few weeks.
Based on this week’s performance, I must admit that I really worked hard. Created a list of tasks and updated all niche blogs I managed, not to mention a disappointing 50% decrease of my earnings. I also re-organized my keywords for my campaigns and hopeful that I can launch the latter by early next week.
This got me contemplating if I am on the right path. Am I working hard and not working smart? A certain part of my brain tells me that in order to be successful, I must work hard, but the other part tells me that working smart should be the best way to go.
In the end really, I think these two should be combined together. In order to have a passive income, which is really my goal, hard work should be implemented first. Automation or “autopilot” (as some gurus say) would follow soon after the real work has been done.
How about you? Are you working Hard or or Working Smart?
