You Are Not Lazy Enough To Be Outrageously Successful...
You may not believe a word of what I am saying but here is the secret - laziness is one of the most powerful things in the world.
The problem with so many 'lazy' people who get constantly humiliated with this label is ... they are not lazy ENOUGH.
Their sin - they are to modest and non pretentious in their laziness and...
They fail to APPLY laziness to their business.
That's why they 'fulfil' the law 'laziness equals failure'.
In the same vain to have a 'foolish' or 'silly' idea is nor enough for achieving success.
This idea has to be OUTRAGEOUSLY crazy.
There is a stroke of genius (and truth) in this title "The Lazy Man's Guide To Riches".
Here is a man who wasn't afraid of PROMOTING his 'handicap'.
Just think about it:
1. What is "the art of leverage" but the art of being systematically and controllably lazy?
2. What is "mail order" but the laziness exemplified?.
3. What is the idea of "instant product development" but a veritable laziness?
...........
Once you start to look at business activity this way you never turn back.
Here is my 'working' definition of laziness:
'the ability/will power NOT to do things that you are not supposed to do anyway/in the first place'.
CONSCIOUSLY followed Ignorance is a powerful force too.
Only you have to proclaim and promote your quality of being lazy.
It's interesting, refreshing, enticing.
The moment laziness becomes conscious, cultivated, controlled, exercised, promoted it becomes most productive.
To follow Li Po and the taoists: water is lazy and... powerful.
Thanks for Li Po - great example (along with Karbo) of how to be productive by consciously exercising laziness.
Sorry, I don't have time to TALK about this (I am too lazy to talk, talk, talk..), I'd better go on APPLYING this principle.
