The other day I was enjoying some late night breakfast food at a local Diner with a friend. We struck up a conversation with our waitress named Pebbles and it completely boosted my work ethic and motivation by 100%

She is 24, just graduated law school and is $90,000 debt. She had decided to work a year to gain some life experience, take a break from law and to tackle her debt.

She began to share her 1 year plan which was to work 17 hours per day, 7 days a week for a year in order to completely pay off her $90,000 in debt. She said she could make around $9000 per month working at the diner for these long hours.

Now by no means am I saying everyone in online business should work 17 hours or even anything close. My point is that this girl had a goal and shes following through with it on a daily basis. On top of that, with a SMILE on her face! Her energy was high, she was willing to do whatever it takes to meet her goal.

When most people would break down and even go bankrupt on $90,000 debt this girl accepted it, set out a plan of action and is following through.

If she was in network marketing she would be a millionaire in one year with that work ethic!

I came to the realization that to tackle a huge goal like starting an online business or tackling debt one must do the following after they have a plan of action.

1. Work Longer: No matter who you are and what you do you can always increase the hours you put into a task. Most people work 8 hours a day at their jobs then invest 1-2 hours in their home business. I challenge you to put MORE TIME into your online business.

2. Work Harder: when those little thoughts of “Im tired” or “Im burnt out” enter your mind I challenge you to push beyond them. Its all in your mind, get up take a walk or have a drink of water then get back at it! Don’t let negative thinking trick you into giving up or quitting. Get back on the bike regarless of your fear of falling off. And if you do fall off get back on and do it again!

3. Work Smarter: Find out what your goals and passions are and do anything you can to pursue the journey towards them. If you’re goals are shaky you will stumble daily and the end won’t appear to be worth the means of getting there.

I reflect on my own work ethic and realize that heck, if this waitress can bust her butt for 17 hours EVERY day I can at least work 2-3 more hours per day. My dream is just as real as hers, shes just more focussed than others and doesn’t let anything get in the way of it.

By working harder during more hours of the day while always being smart about it my business will be pushed to the next level, I challenge you to do the same and see what happens
