Success and Effort

While you can't count on your level of effort put  into a project to directly equate to rewards, they do have a correlation. Laziness won't get you far. You've gotta work for it - kinda like they told you when you were a kid. Hard work, dedication, focus,     strong teamwork and work ethic will go a long way. The energy and focus required to take an idea and turn it into something tangible, is nothing to be taken lightly. Any of you who have taken those steps and stared a business or a new project at work or helped in opening a new location for a business, know all the insane steps involved. And the time it takes. Generally nothing worth doing is easy. 

Where am I going with this? Well, realize that the next project is going to be tough. It will take time, effort, and maybe some blood, sweat and tears, but that's what it takes. If you've got what it takes, you're a step ahead of the rest, that's the only thing for certain. 

Do any of these things promise you success - absolutely not. Many businesses built on the effort, time, and dollars of entrepreneurs, just can't make it work. You can't assume that investment or time and money will mean things are going to really happen, however tho it these things, there's no chance. 

You can't win a game you didn't play - just don't assume a win, and never fail to try. 

Success is not for the lazy. #feistyboss
