How a Lazy Attitude Can Make You Incredibly Successful
Many world-changing companies are started by people looking for an easier way
“Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.”

You already know how important hard work is if you want to succeed. The most successful people are those who outwork and outcompete the competition. You don't need me to tell you that.
But not all incredible success stories come from incredibly hard workers. Sometimes, breakthrough success comes from laziness. A kid you went to high school with drops out and started a million-dollar business. Your old class clown became a world-famous artist. Meanwhile, you're still flipping burgers at McDonald's, wondering why the hell they get to enjoy wild success while you're busting your ass for minimum wage.
It's not because they worked harder than you. Clearly not, since working bad service jobs catering to the rich for minimum wage is much tougher than many six-figure jobs. You'd much rather be a Certified Project Manager than a Sunoco attendant. So what gives?
