It's actually not "less effort, more results" leave it at that. It's the Pareto Principle of The 80/20 Rule.

More effort on the 20% that produces the greatest results and less effort, time & energy spent on the 80% that does not. It's one of the Laws of the Universe and aptly called a mystery, since I do not know why it works; it just does...like gravity.

That Thomas J. Nelson, Realtor is not just a smart real estate professional but a really smart guy. 

That is a myth I believe without hiring a large staff

no, working smarter produces more results.....

Yes, and I love it!

A trip in progress without a final destination. Keep moving forward!

It is a perk we all experience to an extent as we grow in age, experience and skills.

I believe if we learn to manage our time we can work smarter. 

Good morning Richie. Not sure I remember when I learned this one, but quite a long time ago.

 Good morning Richie. I prefer to work smarter not harder.

I set out years ago to work smarter not harder. That is what I taught my new agents too. Agents that do this are more successful in the long run.

I 100% believe in working smarter not harder. I started practicing that in 2015 and it has been a blessing.

That is a mystery!  I still believe in working for income.  Even though it appears less effort, the work comes from a different direction.  IE: instead of calling on the phone and walking the neighborhoods, we write blogs, make videos, send emails etc.

Richie - I have been a proponent of Work Smarter Not Harder for a very long time. I see a lot of people who just do not understand the concept. I have also seen a lot of people who think by doing more of the same thing will generate more business, but that certainly is not the case. You need to find the best method that produces results with the least effort.

I'm waiting to get that fortune cookie.

Working smarter works for me.  I like what I do so it doesn't seem like work.

I have yet to find the holy grail of working less for more.

I suppose that may be possible at times

Not yet.  I'm working on mastery still.  

That was exactly my thought before clicking on the question ... work smart ... not hard.  I see too many people on the hamster wheel ... its exhausting and unproductive ... unless the goal is exercise.

Absolutely, the same goes for skiing, most people ski uphill to go downhill.  Whoopee Goldberg once said, I am no swimming upstream, I don't want to look like those salmons at the end!"  LOL A

You can expend more than half the effort attempting perfection once you reach 90% of the goal. If the processes are sound while reaching that 90% the ffinal 10 will fall into place like clockwork. The real mystery is why it takes so long to determine this. 

Yes, but sometimes it is elusive.

Haha, oh you mean the "Get the hell out of your own way" thing? Yup!

In our trade one needs to explore the ingridents that works and what fails?

Often it does not happen again.
