Business:Entrepreneurship

Episode 10: Does Hard Work Always Pay Off?

Episode 10: Does Hard Work Always Pay Off?

2020-09-29

In this episode of The Jerry & Jacobe Podcast, hosts Jerry Weaver and Jacobe Kendrick talk about getting out what you put into things. Does hard work always pay off? The truth is, without clarity on where you want to be, that hard work won’t get you any closer to your goal. Decide where you want to be and what you need to do to get there!

Episode Highlights: 

  • Continuous hustle is great but it doesn’t always pay off like you hear about on social media.
  • It’s important to take hustling and other trends in doses or else you may burn out.
  • Hustling for the sake of hustling doesn’t get you anywhere if you are not getting done what you need to get done.
  • There are seasons when it comes to long days, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you always have to miss out on sleep.
  • Jerry used to work two full-time jobs, and worked harder than he ever had, but it didn’t necessarily pay off.
  • Focus on the things that actually move the needle in whatever you do.
  • Knowing what questions to ask in any industry can prepare you for the right conversations and help you avoid wasting time.
  • Roleplaying through a plethora of different situations will help prepare you to handle a variety of objections.
  • Put yourself in as many different scenarios as possible and practice those conversations so it is less likely that you will be caught off guard.
  • Just like life, entrepreneurship is a learning journey that never really comes to an end.
  • The first time that you answer a question is going to be hard because you’re not going to have any idea what to say.
  • There are only so many objections that you will face and so there are only so many things that you have to learn.
  • Once you become proficient at the fundamentals and foundation, then you can start to become an expert at something.
  • Work becomes art once you start to become the master of something.
  • Becoming the best at anything requires hard work that is focused on the right aspects of the journey.
  • There is not enough time in this life to be the best at everything that you do, so figure out what you want to get out of something.
  • You can give your best every single day, but that might not translate to being number 1 in what you are doing.
  • You can only control the seven domains in your life that you are responsible for; focus on those things.
  • If you look at the day-to-day, your success will appear to be up and down all the time.
  • Know that regardless of the ups and downs that you will go through, you can still trend upward over time.
  • It’s going to take hard work on the way to your goal, and to maintain your goal, but that hard work will look different at both stages.
  • Whether you reach your goal or not, success is determined by if you become who you need to become.
  • People who make it tend to realize that it’s not what they thought it would be and that things haven’t changed too much.
  • Think about your exit strategy when it comes time to invest in anything.
  • Many business owners never thought about how they were going to exit their businesses and that can mean disaster.

3 Key Points:

  1. It’s incredibly important to figure out the things that move you forward in your business, the things that move the needle, and focus on solely those things to avoid wasting time.
  2. Putting that work in will help you predict what is going to come next. The more time that you put into anything will inevitably make you better at it.
  3. Figure out what you want to be the best at, then decide what that actually means to you. Be the best that you can be. That’s all anyone can ask for.
