How To Develop An INSANE Work Ethic

Developing an INSANE work ethic will get you far in life.

Work ethic is defined as a set of values based on the ideals of discipline and hard work. Success is built on the foundation of hard work.  There is no other way around that.

You can achieve anything that you are willing to devote time, effort and energy to.

When you build a strong work ethic, hard work is no longer hard.

Rather, it becomes effortless. I'm not a big fan of the word, “hard work” because it presupposes that work has to be hard. This isn't true. Work can be challenging at the beginning. However, in the end, your success depends on which type of motivation mindset you adopt.

Push motivation is a behavior that you force yourself to complete to achieve a goal. Eventually, you will burn out if you push yourself too hard. Conversely, pull motivation is a behavior that you feel naturally drawn towards. When you can link pleasure to an experience, you will be more likely to reward yourself, and in turn, repeat a behavior.

The question is, “How do you develop an INSANE work ethic?”

Just like anything, it's a habit that you need to build. I like to think of work ethic as if it were a muscle. Let's use the metaphor of going to the gym to illustrate my point. When you are first going to the gym, it's hard to be build muscle, especially if you don't love working out.

Hence, it requires a lot of discipline. However, if you consistently stick with it, eventually it becomes easier to go to the gym. Before you know it, your day doesn't feel complete without this healthy habit. Can you relate?

The same thing goes with developing your work ethic.

When you go to your job each day, you're either building character traits of strength and hard work, or you're cheating yourself. If you aren't going to go all-in in your work, then all that you are doing is building a disempowering habit of laziness. How you do anything is how you do everything.

If you're not showing up at work, then who is to say that you are going to show up in other areas of your life as well? You have to push yourself to go beyond what your normal level of work ethic is to something that is greater than yourself. There are different levels of hard work.

You may think that you currently work hard. However, it's not until you're around someone that is living life at a higher level than you, that you get hit with the reality that you're lagging. If you haven't achieved your goals and dreams yet, it's time for you to get in closer proximity with people who are more successful than you. This is what will make you realize that you need to raise your standards higher than ever before.

So… how do you develop your work ethic muscle?

In her book, Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance, Angela Duckworth talks about “the hard thing rule.” She says that you should do something hard every single day. The goal is to push yourself beyond what you are used to. Just by setting this tone for yourself, you will slowly build your work ethic muscle.

Look at everything that you're currently doing in your life as an opportunity to challenge yourself. When I was first building my online business, I wanted to achieve success so badly that I was willing to do anything. I trained myself to work 14-16 hour days.

By adopting this INSANE work ethic, my 8-hour days are now so much easier because I have built up my strength over time by pushing my limits. If you've never worked a 14-16 hour day, you should. Challenge yourself beyond what you are capable of, on purpose. The results will speak for themselves.

This is how to develop an INSANE work ethic.

If you aspire to achieve massive success in life, you must have a strong work ethic. Pride yourself on being a hard worker and push yourself every single day. If you can do this, you will feel unstoppable, and I promise you that the long-term rewards will be far-reaching.
