The Limits of Hard Work

📖 From the book The Ultimate Sales Machine by Chet Holmes…

At seminars and lectures, I’ve asked my audience, “How many people in this room would like to grow their company or department 10 times larger than it is right now?” 

Typically, 99 percent of the audience raises their hands. 

Then I say, “Leave your hands up if you can work 10 times more hours or 10 times harder than you’re working now.” 

All the hands go down. 

The point is that there are companies and departments that are 10 times bigger than yours, and you know they aren’t working 10 times harder than you are. 

They’re just working smarter.
