Great Quote # 12

I decided on something a bit different today.

Sometimes we forget to allow a bit of humor into our lives.

Life isn't all about hard work and no play.

In fact, it's a fallacy that we have to work hard at all. To many of us are brainwashed into believing that in order to be successful we need to put in 80 hours plus a week.

So what do we need to do?

We need to work Smarter ... and remember to have a little fun on the way.

Which brings me to todays quote.

Son, if you really want something in this life, you have to work for it. Now quiet! They're about to announce the lottery numbers. Homer Simpson

By all means, go out there and do the best you can with your online business, but don't forget to work smarter. For example, there's no point busting your gut writing 100 blogs if your audience isn't responsive to them, or worse, finds them boring'

Also, If your links aren't working correctly, or you have to many of them, or not enough, then even a brilliant blog becomes worthless.

Make sure you study the many lessons you receive here at WA. Both those provided by Karl and Carson, and those that your fellow members have spent countless hours constructing for you.

Never imagine that you have reached a pinnacle in your life and that you no longer need to learn.

Work Smarter.

If you do you will definitely have 'success at Wealthy Affiliate'

All the best my friends. Jim

Thank you for a great post and for the sharing the information. You can 't always be working with no fun that is a 9-5 job and then you are back where you started from.

You have to break that circles and have fun once in a while.

Mary

So true Mary.

😁😃😊😉

Great post jim
Thank you for the advice

Thanks Karim.

Cute

Thanks Michael.

Great thoughts Jim!

I like to make my online work fun by sharing ideas with my wife and kids, get their feedback, argue and laugh with them, and then decide how to go about things. They are getting ready to help me edit my posts and possibly even write them when they learn more how to. Good teamwork is always fun!

No point doing it, if it isn't fun...

Best,
Zulqar

That's fantastic Zulqar. I have always believed in allowing the family to be part of your business. Great to hear you're having fun. Jim

I will be the first to admit I still have a whole lot to learn.

So do we all Fran.

Can we just work smart, work hard and have humor all at one time? Why choose one if we can have all of them? : )

Joe

Even if you're working smart while not working hard will likely have you end up in the same place.

The concept of work smart, not hard is based in the idea that there are tools to help you do a job in minutes, rather than toiling over it all night. Use the tool! That's working smart.

Still, minutes later when you're done with that work, you find more work to do and you continue this process. You are working hard.

Working hard and smart is proficiency.

Well you could Joe. But the idea of working smart is so that you don't have to work so hard. I know all about working hard, I've been doing it for 47 years, time to work smart. Jim

The other point I should make is that if you enjoy your work it will not longer be hard.

Good philosophy -- thanks kindly for sharing & yes, we do need to laugh ( a dozen belly aching ones ) a day to keep healthy & happy! ... and young, too! ...

cheerio ... 😊

That's very true Keisha.

Thanks Jim. So true we need to work smarter, not harder.

Thanks Mick.

Jim,
Thanks - but I have always tried that but for some reason I
always end up working hard even if I am working smarter -
funny how that works out LOL :)
Susan

I think that's an issue for most of us.

When you bring humor in be prepared to play harder too!

True Michael.
