Learn the fine (and profitable!) art of laziness
How did the guy who calls himself the laziest, most unemployable man in America start two companies that were both featured on Inc. Magazine's list of the 500 fastest-growing companies — one of them listed twice and ranked #2, and the other growing from a one-man operation to $300 million in sales and 1100 employees?
Think it took a lot of hard, back-breaking work? Hours of shoulder-to-the-wheel and nose-to-the-grindstone stuff?
Absolutely not!
"I never did any work. No hard work. No soft work. Not even smart work. Work was never necessary, he says.
Fred Gratzon's delightful and hilarious book, The Lazy Way to Success: How to Do Nothing and Accomplish Everything, is packed with "aha! moments" for anyone embarking upon the certain way of thinking and acting.
See, all too often new readers of The Science of Getting Rich — and some not-so-new ones, too — get all caught up in the least important part of the process: Action.
We've all been taught that we're going to have to work hard to achieve anything worthwhile. So I guess it's only natural that we latch onto that "action" part of the process as if it's the part that, well, does the work.
But action is not only the least important part of the process, it's the LAST part. And if you get the first part right, then the action you end up taking (if any) will be MUCH less and MUCH easier than the "normal" way of doing things.
And that, my friend, is the ultimate leverage which allows you to get the greatest result from the least possible amount of effort!
This kind of leverage is exactly what Fred's ground-breaking yet light-hearted book is all about. It's about enjoying yourself immensely while all the heavy lifting just takes care of itself.
And it's definitely not like anything you've read before. Listen to just one of Fred's many scandalous statements:
"Hard work has no value. Let me be perfectly clear: Hard work is NOT the basis of success. Hard work has absolutely nothing to do with success. If, by chance, hard work and success are found together, it is a mere coincidence and definitely not a cause-and-effect relationship."
Hmm. Sounds like something our Mr. Wattles might have cooked up, doesn't it? ;-)
