Working Hard Vs Working Smart by chucky234(m): 8:50pm On Jul 31, 2012 |
Once upon a time there was a little village... a nice place but with a small problem. The village had no water unless it rained, so they decided to put out a bid for a contractor to have the water delivered daily. Two people volunteered and both were awarded the contract. The first one, Ed, immediately got 2 steel buckets and began running back and forth to the lake a mile away, hauling water to the village. The second contractor, Bill, instead of hauling buckets to compete with Ed... took some time and built a large volume stainless steel pipeline that connected the village to the lake. At the Grand Opening of the pipeline, Bill announced that he can supply water 24/7 to the village to meet the demand (Ed could only do it on weekdays)... and could charge less than Ed did. To compete Ed had to work harder, longer hours... hire his 2 sons to help work on the weekends... until they went to college and never came back for work. Eventually Ed had employee and union problems, which demanded higher wages, better benefits and didn't want to haul more than 1 bucket at a time. While Bill realized that other villages had the same problem and simply duplicated his process building other pipelines in the neighboring villages... ... delivering money to himself and water to the villages. Bill lived happily ever after and Ed worked had for the rest of his life. The end. Now let me ask you... Are you hauling buckets OR building a pipeline? Are you working HARD... OR are you working SMART? Join avenues to wealth today and build a passive system. |
