When I was 17 years old, I used to work and study for about 20 hours a day. I went to school, did my homework during breaks and managed a not-for-profit organization at night.
At that time, working hard landed me countless national campaigns, opportunities to work with A-list organizations and a successful career. As I got older, I started thinking differently.
I realized that working harder is not always the right path to success. Sometimes, working less can actually produce better results.
Consider a small business owner, who works non-stop.
However, working hard won’t help him compete with his multi-million competitors.
Time is a limited commodity.
An entrepreneur can work 24 hours a day and 7 days a week (the most amount of time anyone can work, really).
His or her competitor can always spend more money,
build a bigger team and spend a lot more time on the same project.
Then why have small startups accomplished things that larger corporations couldn’t?
Facebook bought Instagram, a 13-employee company for a billion dollars.
Snapchat, a young startup with 30 employees is turning down offers from tech giants Facebook and Google.
Part of their successes were based on luck — the rest is based on efficiency.
The key to success is not hard working but smart working.
1. Stop working overtime and increase your productivity
2. Don’t say “yes” too often
3. Stop doing everything yourself and start letting people help you4. Stop being a perfectionist
5. Stop doing repetitive tasks and start automating it.
6. Stop guessing and start backing up your decisions with data
7. Stop working, and have do-nothing time
