Brains, Muscles, Sweat and a whole lotta team help is how I get it done these days. Some days it's hard, others it's efficient or smart, some days require both. I don't mind dirt under the nails or spreadsheets - whatever it takes.

Oh Hell Yes.  

There are times I marvel and what I do in my business. Sometimes we need to step in, step up, and take things on that are not part of the contract. 

I guess we can say we are Bad to the Bone and Good to the Bone.

The road to "success" is varied, isn't it.  And definitely not a direct route for any of us.  Plus, there are those who look for or share a map with a so-called "shortcut". It can be complicated.

Hmm when we work smarter, not harder, are we not truly working harder? I guess this is all in the definitions of harder.  Smarter for means being effective and harder means being efficient.

I like to think at a young age I worked harder then others and it paid off but the more I moved up in the company the less I had to work just be smarter.

Retired Agent / Broker / Prop. Mgr, Wenatchee, WA

I learned very early on I needed to be able to use my brain, not my brawn.

The truth is we all need that experience to learn to work smarter. We also need to understand all aspects of the business (think start from the bottom up) to make smarter decisions for the long term.
