Right from time immemorial, it's been a resounding word of wisdom that a businessman must learn to work hard, if he wants to be very successful. The problem business people have now is - on what exactly should they focus their hard work? This is because you can spend lots of hours working hard on something that will never yield much profits.

Working hard is just as important as what exactly are you working hard on. Here's a mistake any people make - they work too hard on becoming better at their jobs, and they work less on becoming a better human being. Let me break it down, it's far more important to work harder on yourself than it is to work harder on your job.

The reason is simple - working harder on your job will only help you make a better living. On the other hand, working harder on yourself as an individual will help you make a fortune for yourself. It's impossible to achieve extraordinary thing without first becoming extraordinary as an individual.

This is not to in any way discourage you from working hard on your job. You should always work hard on your job. The point I'm passing across is that you should work harder on yourself than you work hard on your job. It's high time you asked yourself questions like - how many self improvement books have you read in the last 4 weeks?.

You need to pay more attention to how well you're growing as a businessman. How well do you handle your emotions. How many books have you read on emotional control for a businessman? When you work harder on yourself - you'll be able to make a fortune for yourself, not just a living.
