Many are increasing realizing that the popular assumption that working hard brings riches and prosperity is a mere illusion. Maybe this assumption held water during the medieval period, but in our contemporary world, the idea to work hard or working like a slave in order to make real money has no element of truth in it.
In fact, it is a notion paraded by those (the new rich) who do not practice it to influence the minds of certain individuals to work hard while they would continue to be rich.
Have you ever compared how hard the average person (struggling to make a living person) works compared to those with real money?
If working hard like a slave brings any real riches/money, then I would have been a billionaire by now.
Until I realized that there is not truth in the above, I always had a minimum of 2jobs. During my College education days, I remember having 3 jobs at a point in time. I worked like a slave and was always exhausted. However, those days remain the lowest income period of my working life.
Becoming rich in life is not a short period enterprise. Richness or real money is as a result of a continuous accumulation of money over a long period of time. And since you cannot work hard like a slave for a long period to accumulate real money, it does not work.
How many of us are ready to work 12 hours a day (7 days a week) for 5 continuous years?
If Making Hard Will Not Make Us Rich, What Would Then?
I hope you are not thinking that the opposite of working hard is being lazy or doing nothing. If working hard will not make you rich, it would be absurd to think doing nothing (being lazy) will make you rich.
In this regard, working hard and being lazy are not opposite but rather the same thing being considered from different angles.
Though I am not a millionaire today, my financial status is far better than when I used to work hard like crazy with 3 jobs.
Two years ago, I disposed the working hard to become rich illusion and bought into the concept of working smart. I realized that the people who are rich do not work hard like those who are making minimum wage.
Working smart is about doing things that produce real profits. This is exactly what the rich people do and that is the only proven way you can make real money. The rich people focus on few selected things that make them profits…CONTINUE READING FROM HERE
thank God i got to knw this truth 3 years ago. working hard is good but working smart is more important. i believe the world will be a better if everyone of us owns/invest. Chris i think it will be great if u write another article on what it means to work smart…good job
Tell that to folks who have two/three jobs n still do not have money, why, they dont save n invest, most white people are rich cos of good investments, instead of working for the money let the money work for you, that is how you can grow wealth.
I dont know if you agree with me or not working smart does not make you a rich person or having 3 jobs does not make you richer the thing is God is the one who gives money …but continue pursuing your dream dreams

@Syndeytish, what do you mean ?
True talk this is a real issue. and that is also the mentality of Africans. we dont come with smart ideas to make money. we keep going through the same routine. example we africans do everything with the hand and the body. whites come with machines they dont have to do anything yet they make money
@sarah, I agree with you in some way but, trust me there are allot of Ghanaians out there who are self made and are doing major things but decide to stay away especially in states and here in the UK I know allot if them that are doing major things but remain silence
@Dr. Miyagi, yea u r rite in a way but those doing well as u r saying r only 10-20% of the general of ghanaians abroad.
