Diane – I think calling it hard work has different affects on each of us. I for one now only like to leverage my time and take strategic shortcuts when I can. The easy way out actually makes me feel more confident because I demonstrated how savvy I am.

Hard work isn’t the answer or those who worked the hardest would be making the most money. I’m thinking of coal miners and other really dangerous, hard ways to Make a living.

Nope money follows confidence so especially when we are self-employed we have to decide what gives us the most confidence and do that.

Hi Tom,

Great thought provoking post!

The one that bugs me is that hard work and confidence one. Doesn’t it take both? Not one more than the other a balance between them?

A recent UCSDUniversity study concluded that in this era it was”harder” to maintain stability then it was for the past generation. The reasons were: healthcare costs, mortgage, insurance costs, two household necessity, energy costs. There were more but those were the biggest. It pretty much said that to have reserves was much less doable because disposable income was close to nil. And if any hardship happened in the past the one income family had the spouse work to make ends meet. I thought it was interesting. And watching the recent news just seems to validate it.

All of these people affected are concientous “hardworking people” and so it goes… Sorry if it’s off topic. Or maybe it isnt’.

Do you think to call it hard builds confidence? And self-esteem?

[...] I’m not just talking about putting things out there on your blog or your website. I’m talking about calling up people you know and asking them whom they know. But ask for referrals very specifically by describing your answers to #1 above. Then, after describing whom you most want to serve, ask. Who does that bring to mind? Who do you know who fits that description? They can tell by the enthusiasm in your voice that you passionately want to serve that person so they are much more eager to refer you. Remember, it’s often not the direct action that brings in the cash. Often results come parallel to action. [...]
