Working Smarter Not Harder
I got a call from my mom yesterday asking if I can go delivery (catering) for her. I mean it’s Sunday and I wanted the poor lady to get some rest and party it up if she had to. For me, weekends and weekdays are the same. I’m actually out more on weekdays then weekends.
Anyways, the reason I’m writing this post is because I realized that I forgot how hard it is to make money. Over the years, i got too comfortable making money by clicking a button or signing a piece of paper. I mean don’t get me wrong I did my time and graduated from working hard. I even worked at a car wash before. I personally think nothing beats washing cars all day. I’m finally working smarter not harder. yay for me!

Every once in a while I don’t mind working at my parent’s restaurant. There are times like mother’s day when I work for my mom or when she just wants a day off. Today I happened to go catering by myself and it was a lot of work. Standing and serving all day takes a lot of energy out of me. I start to appreciate my job more the second i start breaking a sweat.
It really trips me out sometimes when i think about working more than 20 hrs a week. Especially at places like restaurant and car wash. It gives me chills even thinking about it. I’m glad I’m doing what I’m doing right now. Having the freedom to work whenever I want and wherever I want. Again, working smarter not harder.
If you’re working a dead-end job, keep up and don’t give up on your dream. Trust me, I’ve been there. I know there are plenty of great books on success but my #1 advice to you is… don’t ever give up on your dream no matter what. btw, work hard right now so you don’t have to work harder later. your hard work will pay off at the end.
(this is my proof to you. working hard def pays off at the end!) =)
