Is it your parents? Oftentimes, we model our work ethic based on what we saw our parents do for us. How hard they worked to provide us with a life where we can work hard for our children. Maybe it&#8217;s your grandparents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I think about hard working people, I think of course about my mother who worked nights for 25 or so years so she could be home during the day. I think about my dad who launched his own business and had to work so hard to make nothing into something. I think about my grandmother who was 1 of 7 children and was required to be one of the providers for her siblings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I consider myself to be a hardworking person, but I&#8217;ve never worked around the clock or worked the graveyard shift. One could say that my mother has worked much harder than I could ever fathom to. But yet, I probably made more than her in my first year out of college than she did in her 25 years at her job. Same with my father and grandmother.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, we&#8217;re talking about why you need to stop working so hard.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>&#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of rhetoric that wants you to believe that the path to getting to the success that you want to have, is purely through hard work.
