Sitting here on the bed after a lovely evening with family and friends something came into my mind. It was about “work smarter not harder“.

It is so simple yet so profound.

I used to see so many people at work putting in the hours but putting in the hours and productivity are 2 quite different things.  As I had had a young child under 2 at the time and had to leave work every day at a certain time, I had to stay focussed and get  everything done correctly and on time.

Was I under pressure-you bet!

The company got the same amount of work out of me as if I worked full time (go figure)!

This led me to think of the old childrens tale of the tortoise and the hare. It is so beautifully summarised here that I would do the author a disservice to even try to summarise. I encourage you to have a read for yourself and let me know what you think!

If someone tapped you on the shoulder, and handed you the EXACT system they used to make money, would you stop to listen or would you say "here we go again, another sales pitch". I don't blame you. I felt exactly the same way .There is no magic bullet to success but there are loads of shortcuts you can take when you are shown and taken by the hand until you succeed. Would this help?
