Hard Work and Sweat is Associated with Success

So true, living in south Florida sweat is never a problem.

I agree that there is a bit of luck involved in being successful, but at the same time, that luck is often generated by our hard work!

True! The more chances you give yourself to succeed...the better you will do!

This is so true...thanks for the push....most times, success just doesn't fall in your lap!

Lou, 

I have always been a big proponent of hard work and that is the old fashion method to make money. 

Lou- hard work and sweat and when you make it, it feels so good!

My Dad was a football coach so knew every positive affirmation known to man kind.  He always said "the harder you work the luckier you get" sounds similar to Ray Kroc's.  I'm with Joan up above - no thanks to sweat!

Especially here in Arizona. If I'm sweating that usually means I'm out and about showing homes in the heat which means I'm servicing my clients. Servicing your clients will always lead to success. 

Working hard is most important.  Then working smart.  McDonald's is a great American Success story.

Good Attitude, desire and motivation are the keys to working hard.  Here in Hawaii, you sweat even you are not working hard.

Work hard or hardly working ... I choose work and with that comes success.

Hard work certainly has it's rewards - and soon the "work" becomes a "habit" and then there is no stress at all.

There are few successful people who didn't have to work hard for their success

Ray Kroc was a smart man and a great example for those who want to achieve success in life.

Hard work is associated with success. It doesn't mean that hard work equals success.

Some of the hardest working people don't make that much money, for example, janitors, dishwashers, amusement park attendants, Walmart employees, personal home care aides, and on and on.

So that hard work equals success is a myth.

Most of what you have is luck.

But, yes, you should put effort into what you do, and strive to do it as best as possible. Agreed.

Success =  w x L squared

If you're working too hard then you're probably doing something wrong.

An important quote many people like to ignore. They don't want the work just the success, that leads them down a sad road in life.

So very true in this profession.  I emphasize this to the newer, younger agents...get ready to not have a liveable wage for many months because it usually takes a long time before you have checks on a regular basis.

True...amazing how the words "sweat" and "get" seem to go together!

Consumers recognize when someone is exhibiting hard work and appreciate a  level of competence that suggests a good outcome!
