Comments on: Hard Work Works

While I do believe that hard work is required to get anything of great value in life, I also think that there is a difference between hard work to be successful and hard work that simply causes stress. Not everyone is able to naturally work how their job requires them to. Sometimes it’s that freedom to be yourself that can make the light at the end of all that hard work shine through. I recently read a book by Kathy Kolbe that made me start to look at how I approach my daily tasks differently. While I do still work hard at what I do, I think that you also have to stay within a certain comfort zone to avoid getting burnt out.

Lucky people hearing you on radio ! You’ll have to get a national gig Craig, so the rest of us can share too. Your tv one was great.
I do agree with the hard work thing – persistence and perserverence are the keys.Thank you for the reminder.
For Michelle, just wanted to say I do weights or more accuratley weight bearing exercise and it’s good. Was just thinking today how far I’ve come in just 3 mths – from the first day when I couldn’t move after the workout to now, when it’s almost easy !! I do increase the intensity slowly and I think the hard work is starting to pay off!! Hard work – it does work.
Cheers Craig ( ) Hugs,

Thanks for another timely kick up the rear….
There are areas where I do work hard eg fitness regime and eating, but I am still avoiding the other areas I would like to be amazing. BAsically because I feel uncomfortable with the hard work when I step out of my comfort zone.
BUT your message is simple – get in and get dirty – and I like simple. There will be no ‘big bang’ or bright light! The one word you mentioned which to me is the key was CONSISTENT.
see you at the RYL

Nice venting Egg Carton.

Keep doing what you do and don't worry about the tall poppy brigade.

Congrats on your success.

Hey Craig,

I love your honest approach and are learning to be more like you. The successful people just get up one more time than they fall down. Have been listening to you on a Tueday night on SEN, will get up the courage to ring in soon.

Keep up the great work.

Hi Craig,

I am 24 and own my own million dollar business with my husband. We work our arses off, sometimes its not all fun and games, sometimes it is enjoyable but more often than not we do just have to get the shit done.

We have lots of good stuff - 5 acres, we are building our dream home, we have a 650m2 shed, 8.3m Haines Hunter boat, nice cars and lots more good shit to come and everyone wants what we have. Is anyone willing to do the hard work consistently - HELL NO! They see the toys we have but not the work involved in getting it.

Kinda insults me sometimes that the hard work is forgotten by most people and they are just thinking damn i wish I had this or that. Sometimes I think they should just bugger off and do some WORK!
