Ep88. Do You Feel Lazy If You're Not Working Hard?

I don't feel like I'm ever working hard, but my business makes more money than I ever made when I did work hard. I get a bit triggered when people glorify working hard, and maybe it's because I have a different definition for hard work. I choose inspired and passionate work, but that never feels hard to me. My work in this world feel like I'm in a playground, and I get to pick my adventure. I want that for you too. But you've got to give up the idea that work needs to be hard!

The primary elements of this episode are:

  1. In 2016 I constantly went where I didn't want to go, to do things I didn't want to do, for people I didn't want to work for. That was when work and life felt hard for me. 
  2. The hedgehog concept from Good To Great helps us understand how to naturally entangle life and work in a meaningful and beautiful way, where work never feels hard. 
  3. I still hear people who vilify not working hard and who glorify all things hard. Someone decided that even in the 21st century digital age that life has to be hard to be ok. That's all a choice. We can move past that any time we choose.
