Earlier this week I wrote about clients who thought it was too easy to make the changes they did to get the results they did, this was followed by the comparison by some of working hard versus being lazy.
When you look at the likes of Bill Gates and his friends from Microsoft, they created a software company like no other and is worth around $300 billion. If you have ever read about Bill Gates and the beginnings of Microsoft it's very clear that he has a passion about computer software, that comes across very strongly. I could see that the emphasis in those early days was the passion and fun and some effort, there is less written about working hard, it's about creating and building and some long hours that may not have felt long with the passion that was there.
Obviously when you have a company worth as much as this, it cannot be all about working hard or effort to gain success. To be sitting with $25 billion in cash there has to be something else going on other than effort and hard work.
If we have to call it working, does it have to be hard and long, or is there something to passion and creating. If you have already made the switch to the latter are you making more money with less effort now?
It's nice to be able to choose.
