This Midweek Money Minute is brought to you by:
Effort is a strategy.
Thankfully for you and I, effort is not a TALENT – it is a CHOICE.
This means that you have a wicked tool in your financial toolbox.
Effort is a strategy, and you can employ this strategy simply by choosing to do so at any time. You’ll need to create bandwidth if you don’t have it, but time is literally the only thing stopping you from efforting toward your next goal right now.
Work smarter AND harder.
You don’t have to pick.
Obviously smarter and harder together are the Wonder Twins of soft skills (very updated reference, I know). Smarts are helpful, there is zero doubt – but smarts go absolutely nowhere without effort. Whereas on its own, hard work covers a lot of ground by itself.
(the spiritual version of this thought is: “faith without works is dead”)
Action (aka Effort) generates Momentum. Effort is an antidote to mediocrity, fear, goal anxiety, laziness, a whole host of anchors that are dragging you down.
Wait no longer…
What are you going to take action on this week?
