How to improve work ethic Videos

This helped me alot thank you so much !!!

Evan, inspiring talk. I like to get up, shave, and then do my maximum number of pushups, or situps, (each on alternate days). I'm ready to take on all challenges, including the ones that are not "exciting!"

The issue here is that sometimes temporarily you don't have enough conditions to do what you love. So would be nice some advice for people that need to do something they don't like, even thou is temporary

Love what I do? I'm trying to get motivation to do my social studies homework XD

Hi, Evan. You never cease to motivate me and this video is no exception. I am in the production phase of my first very short film and oftentimes I find myself having doubts because I never went to film school and I don't have the "right" equipment. I don't even have a plan to make money from it. It's just something I've always wanted to do. To compound matters, there's absolutely no one in my life right now giving me any kind of moral support; I live in Missouri (the "Show Me" state) and they're all waiting for the results. So your videos, among others like them, are becoming an environment for me to stay motivated. Thanks and keep up the fantastic work!

From all of the people I know that have a strong work ethic, they all had one thing in common: It was that they were forced, from a very early age, to work long hours in their parents businesses whether it be a farm, restaurants or factories and they FUCKING HATED IT! It seems that they realised that working furiously hard doing their own thing is much easier than working for Ma and/or Pa.

The first comment about having to love what you do is totally false in my opinion. I know people who don't enjoy the work they do but they are exceptionally good at it and successful, earning very high salaries and at the top of their ladder etc. Pushing themselves to extremes on a daily basis (requiring a hell of a lot of motivation) E.g. I know a VP of Goldman who would often go for 24hrs at a time, and an IBM executive that would start the day at 5am and still be answering emails till 11pm 6 days a week. They had some good times obviously, but would never choose to be there in a million years if they could, and they both got there from the bottom! I think saying you have to love something to be motivated inspires weakness/egotism to be honest. The majority of people in this world have very limited, if ANY choice towards what they do for a living yet they find motivation everyday, they're the true unsung heroes. If you're not motivated it's because you don't want it badly enough, and if that's the case go and do something else, stop repeating the same negative cycles and wasting your life. There are 24hrs in a day, you need to get the most out of them, all the time. It's productivity; doing your best with the time that you have. That's all there is to it. Everyone knows what needs to get done on their own journey, to reach their own goals. All these weekend seminars, books, YouTube videos, "10 steps" it's all bullshit. Stop finding excuses, stop whining, put a plan together and get it done.

Evan,I really think of guys like you to be angels, always telling something useful.NOW IF you're reading this you gotta help me plzzzzzzzzz.I am a 16 year golfer from INDIA.I have been playing golf since i was 11.My parents want me to either become a golfer or get in the civil services.BUT my true passion is MMA.I LOVE MMA.I dont need any motivation to train MMA.i can practice it anytime,BUT here is the problem.In our country sports are not considered to be taken up as a career and MMA is out of question.My parents will tell me to forget about MMA and get down to studies.No one will support me.I dont like golf.I dont have any passion for it.But I'm afraid about telling it to my dad.I dont want to break his heart and at the same time convince them to let me start training in MMA.PLZZZZZZZ help

People have got to realise that saying 80% of people dislike there jobs is correct. Saying that the majority of people who put their best foot forward and really GO for the job they want don't succeed is bullshit. Why do 80% of people get jobs they hate? Because only 30-35% of people give their all in finding what they want to do, and doing everything in their power to achieve that. To quote Jim Carrey, "My dad was the funniest guy I know, but he never got into comedy because he truly didn't believe that was possible... for him. He took a safe job as an accountant because he had a family to feed and money that needed to be made, and a month into that he got made redundant from his 'safe' job. I learned many things from my father, but most prominently: You can fail at doing what you don't want, so why not take a chance on doing what you love."

Appreciate the comments. "Where did you learn your work ethic?" is a question I'm asking all the Capture Your Flag interviewees this year and as you can see the responses differ. It is my hope that collectively you can find comparing and contrasting these experiences to your own and to each other useful in thinking through different ways people learn and develop the way they approach their work. Keep the comments coming! Appreciate your feedback.

Sorry to say, but you're inaccurate, Mr. Cardone. To get into the 1 percent of our history of mankind, you have to have complete integrity. You really think Jesus or Buddha cared about worth ethic? They were known, like Abraham Lincoln, for their honesty. Integrity in all that they do. For example, keeping their words, being patient, providing of utmost quality, seeing only the best in people, bringing joy, healing others with their presence or speech, being fair and just (equality and justice), being an inspiration, etc. Integrity, not mindless activities or keeping busy for the sake of it. How is making more and more money to build bigger and bigger mansions bring joy or healing others? It doesn't. That's called greed. Use that money for charity or build an educational system or save the environment, etc. No one is going to deal with you in the long run if you're not a person of full integrity. Even you wouldn't deal with yourself, meaning, suicide, drugs, alcohol, etc. Integrity has the utmost value, more than gold, more than money, more than fame. What's good to work all the time and make tons of money, if no one respects you because you lie, steal, cheat, bad mouth others, run over others, etc? Think about it.

The question is how do I develop crazy work ethic? How do I transition from a lazy procrastinator to a hard worker?

I really needed to hear this advice. I am have historically been an all or nothing person...and after a while of trying to do it all...I'd crash and burn. Thanks for sharing.
