Back in college, I’d always get frustrated whenever my efforts didn’t translate to good grades. Discouraged, I talked to my dad about it, and he imparted a statement that I would never forget – “Work smart, not hard,” he told my naive 20-year-old self. Now, this may seem a little hard to believe, but it has worked wonders in my life, which is why I’ve remembered this line through the years.

In this blog, I’ll be talking about achieving something that we want badly, but don’t often admit to others or even ourselves – becoming rich.

When asked why we do what we do, we often tell others that it makes us happy, or it is our passion and lifelong dream, but really one of the biggest reasons that keeps all of us going is our desire to accumulate wealth and be financially secure. You don’t have to endure long years of hard work because today, I will be teaching you how you can go rich by working smart.

So, how do we go rich? Simple. By taking action, but it has to be MASSIVE. Why? It’s simple math – massive action = massive results.

Taking massive action means making your goal your primary responsibility. No excuses. I have a personal mantra which goes “If I can’t, then I must. If I must, then I can.” So, it means taking full ownership of your mistakes, of your challenges and of your failures and doing all you possibly can to rectify them.

Now, taking massive action is obviously not a one-time thing. It’s something that you must do consistently – day after day. It can be quite tough which is why some people will find it a drag while others will be motivated to do it. To give you a clearer and more concrete guide on how you can achieve this, you can follow these two steps:

Step 1: Identify Your Biggest Moneymakers

You first have to identify the top 2-3 actions which already generate 80% of your results. This is the pareto principle. Personally, I try to look at all of my efforts and how they are correlated to my sales. Posting online has done a lot for my business as opposed to giving out flyers. If you’re not sure what they are, stop, think about it, and write it down. There’s bound to be an answer. Is it making calls, meeting specific clients or even motivating your team?

Step 2: Double Your Efforts

Once you’ve identified the top 2 or 3 actions, you must double your efforts on them. You can forget everything else and instead focus on these actions. I guarantee you will see massive results in a few weeks’ time. Let’s take the previous example of posting online. If you see that it actually gives you promising revenue, then you should look to improve your digital promotional materials; increase your online visibility, and be more responsive to your existing and possible clients on your online platforms.

Let’s use an analogy to understand this technique better. For example, you like someone, and you’re pursuing them. Like a normal person, you have some good and bad qualities. Well, you wouldn’t go around in circles trying to impress them by doing everything all at once right? You sure wouldn’t get someone’s approval with mediocre and half-baked tricks. So, let’s say you’re good at singing and baking. You can work on these and double your efforts! Maybe serenade her with gifts and chocolates, and make it more heartfelt by choosing an intimate venue. Then, learn new recipes, and wow her with your amazing baking skills by making the best French macarons that she’s ever tasted. She’ll likely pick you over some guy who’s trying to do everything at once but sucks anyway. See? That’s how you get results.

We all want to be rich. We all want to reach this level of financial stability that allows us to walk in a restaurant and not check the prices on the menu to eat what we want. We all want to succeed in the smartest and fastest way possible. No need to spend all your days in wishful thinking because reality is knocking at your door. Just follow these tips and I’m sure that you’ll be heading in the right direction.

To be rich you gotta have a plan, and we got just the plan for you in this short video! Think and GO Rich!

To your success,

Mario
