Always Take the Easy Way Out
Thursday, May 1st, 2008 Ricky BreslinMost entrepreneurs take the easy way out. Everybody I know who has significant freedom, money, and time takes the easy way out…always.
Today I want to encourage you to keep taking the easy way out any way possible. If anyone tries to tell you anything different, they are probably not where you want to be.
I’ve NEVER told any of my clients or students not to take the easy way out. If there is an easy way, take it!
Most people, even myself, have been constantly accused of being lazy. Lazy to the average person means taking the easy way out. The average person will always tell you to work hard and grind it out, to not take the easy way out, and to be tough.
I think they are completely wrong and here’s why…
If you’re smart, you will ALWAYS find a way to make something easier. I know I did. With every new situation I enter, I’m constantly looking for new ways to get the same task done faster and with less effort. Unfortunately, for children, they are taught that taking the easy way out is a bad thing.
That statement can kill the creativity of a child. And unless children decide to unlearn those terrible things by reading, learning, and finding people who don’t believe that way of thinking, they’ll live their entire lives thinking they have to work hard.
That’s why you have adults who still talk the same mess they learned as children. They either…
1. Actually believe it
2. Think it
And that sucks for them.
The bottom line is to always be looking for better and smarter ways to do things. To the average person it will SEEM like you’re lazy. The intelligent person, however, will recognize your genius.

Very great article! I forward this one to my mother. I motivate her to have that business mind since she is talented in a few areas but she is stuck on word hard life.
