How To Develop An INSANE Work Ethic


hey everyone this is Stefan James from
project life mastery and today we're
going to talk about how to develop an
insane work ethic how to become a hard
worker which is something that we all
know is extremely important because
everything that you want in life
every goal or dream that you want to
pursue and achieve is going to require
hard work there's no other way around
that that's a foundation of success if
you look at anybody that's been
successful through history or achieve
anything great it always required hard
work and of course as other factors that
contribute to our success
but hard work I believe is that
foundation and also I truly believe guys
that whatever you commit to in your life
whatever you want bad enough and you're
willing to put in the work for and you
refuse to give up you can achieve and be
successful at there's no limitations
whatever you set your mind to you're
willing to work hard enough for you can
have you can achieve so we want to
cultivate this we want to develop our
capacity and raise our standards to be a
much harder worker in our lives now
let's dive into this one thing I'm going
to mention is I'm not really a fan of
those two words going together hard work
because it presupposes that work has to
be hard and that's not true I think work
might be hard at the beginning you've
never done it before it might be
difficult or challenging for you to do
it might be beyond your comfort zone
your threshold your current capacity of
what you can do so therefore it might be
hard or difficult maybe at the beginning
you link pain to the process of doing it
and so it requires work and you know
pushing yourself and discipline the
willpower to do it but that's not really
sustainable long term I believe there's
two different types of motivation
there's push motivation and then there's
pull motivation push is when you link
pain to doing it you got to push
yourself you got to push yourself go to
the gym you got to push yourself to go
to work each day you got to push
yourself to work on your business you
can push yourself for only so long
before you get burnt out that's not
sustainable what makes it sustainable is
pull motivation which is when you link
pleasure to go into the gym to working
going to work each day to working on
your business
to doing those things we like pleasure
to it whatever it gets rewarded gets
repeated and it gets reinforced and I'll
pull you towards doing it more becomes a
positive addiction for me I consider
myself to be a hard worker but what I
look at everything I do and I put a lot
of time energy hours into my business
creating content videos I want to serve
you guys and help and be the best that I
can be I put a lot into my body I put a
lot into my other goals and the dreams
that I'm pursuing but I don't look at it
as hard work there's once a time where
it was because I'd never done it before
it's hard to create a video like this
but I've done it so many times now and
I've seen the impact of it you know I
appreciate the the comments that you
guys leave and when you guys thumbs up a
video or share how it made an impact in
your life something that I shared or did
I see the person that I'm becoming and
the pleasure that I get from that that
I'm stepping into my power I can be an
inspiration I could be a role model a
leader in this world a force for good
and a force for God when I see that the
pleasure that I get it's a pull it
doesn't require discipline and willpower
I get so much pleasure from it it's
almost like it requires discipline and
willpower to not do it every day I feel
compelled and pulled to being productive
and when I'm not I don't feel good about
myself I feel pulled to go to the gym
each day it requires discipline not to
go to the gym if I miss the gym for a
day I feel like my day wasn't right
so that's something you can cultivate
and build that happens over time you
link pleasure to the process you're
award yourself so it's more likely to be
repeated and you look at the pleasure
the benefit you get from it so let's
dive a little bit more into this how do
you develop a work ethic
just like you develop anything that's a
habit I kind of view it like a muscle
just like how we have muscles in our
physical body we have mental and
emotional muscles that we want to
cultivate and build the way that you
build a muscle you go to the gym and you
work it out but you don't just work it
out if you do a light weight and you do
many reps of that it doesn't mean
they're gonna get stronger it doesn't
mean they're gonna get better instead
you got to push and challenge yourself
when you workout
so if you go to the gym and you take a
20 pound dumbbell and you're doing a
bicep curl it might be difficult and
challenging for you to do that you know
you haven't build that muscle yet so
once you get to the seventh eighth the
ninth the tenth rep is pushing yourself
beyond it's uncomfortable but when you
do what is hard and difficult you do it
enough times then what was eventually
hard now become as easy you do that for
a few weeks a few months you're used to
doing that now you can now lifting that
20 pound weight was easy for you now you
can expand your threshold now you can
lift a 25 pound dumbbell and you do that
enough times before you know what you
can do 30 pounds and you get stronger
and stronger and stronger now all of a
sudden you go back to lifting that
20-pound dumbbell which was once
difficult and hard it's no longer that
way it's now easy for you to do so
that's how you develop it it's the same
way with developing your work ethic that
when you go to your job each day when
you work on your business when you go to
the gym when you do anything in your
life you got to understand that what you
put in is what you get out of it and
you're either building a positive habit
and getting momentum and building the
character traits of strength and hard
work by do by giving it your all or
you're actually cheating yourself let me
share with you what I mean a lot of
people they go to work each day and
they're not giving it their all they've
got a job that they're not really
fulfilled by they go to their work and
it's all about how can I just get
through the day how can I get as much as
I can out of this and get my paycheck by
doing the bare minimum if you have that
mindset and you're not giving your all
there in your current job that you have
then you're cheating yourself you're
actually building a disempowering habit
of being lazy of slacking of not giving
it your all and the problem with that is
how you do anything is how you do
everything so if you're not showing up
at your job and what you do and what
you're putting your 40 hours a week
towards if you're not giving your all
there who's to say that you're gonna
give it your all when you have your own
business one day or who's to say they're
gonna give it your all when you work on
your body or other goals and dreams that
you have it doesn't work that way it's
not like you're gonna be a lazy person
all throughout your life working their
job and all of a sudden
I'm gonna turn it on and develop the
habit it doesn't work that way guys
you've got to develop the habits right
now and everything that you do you've
got a train condition and push yourself
to give it your all to go beyond what
your normal your normal level of work is
to something greater than that because
there's different levels of work there's
different levels of hard work you might
think that you're working hard but the
reality is when you're around someone
that's living life at a higher level you
realize that you're not it's just like a
college athlete okay let's let's go to a
high school athlete a basketball player
he's the best on his team he thinks he
works hard
it required hard work to get him to
being the best to develop a skill set
right but it's not until that high
school basketball player goes to college
or university and he's around people
that are more mature people that are
better than he is
he realized oh my god I thought I was
working hard but I'm not there's a
higher level to go to and then when that
college basketball player goes to the
NBA the professional league and he's
around the best in the world it creates
a new definition for him of what hard
work is he thought he was working hard
but when you're around the best of
people that have a higher standard than
you and makes you realize you know what
there's another level that I need to get
to that I need to cultivate and develop
there's obviously a different standard
of what hard work is for a Michael
Jordan a Kobe Bryant a LeBron James the
best in the world compared to everybody
else so be careful I'm thinking oh yeah
I work hard already there's other levels
you got to get to you because you keep
doing it you've always done you're gonna
keep getting what you've always got you
know the same level of thinking of what
got you to where you are won't get you
to where you want to go so if you're not
yet achieved what you want in your life
even though you think you're working
hard maybe it's time to take that to a
new level maybe you got to get around
people and be in proximity people more
successful than you and it'll make you
realize man I gotta raise my standards
even higher and even greater than that
so we've got to build that muscle okay
we've got to cultivate that now a simple
way that you can do this is there's a
great book called grit by Angela
Ducksworth
in it she talks about how to develop
grit and she has something called the
hardening rule the hard thing rule which
means that every day you've got to do
something that's hard that's difficult
you got to push yourself in your job in
your business at the gym whatever it is
push yourself a little bit more beyond
what you're used to pride yourself and
set the standard that you're gonna be
the hardest worker in the office the
hardest worker in the room the hardest
worker at the gym okay set that as your
standard now you're not always going to
achieve that you're not always gonna be
perfect but just by setting that and
pushing yourself a bit further you're
gonna build the muscle you know when you
go to work each day even though you
might not enjoy your job you know might
not get a lot of fifth element from it
might not be your passion in life that
doesn't matter train yourself to work
harder at that job because by developing
your habit by going to work each day and
giving it your all that's gonna
translate to other areas of your life
and will probably give you a promotion
help you make more money in your current
job that you might have or when you
decide to start your business or pursue
anything else you're gonna have built
that habit in that capacity that will
translate towards success
so look at everything you're doing right
now in your life as an opportunity to
build muscle to push yourself to
challenge yourself to do something hard
or difficult because when you do that
enough times it becomes a lot easier for
you so let me give you some examples
things that I did in my life I remember
for me I trained myself to be able to
work 14 15 16 hour days okay I did that
early on in my career when I was first
starting my business I really wanted to
be successful I wanted it bad and I was
willing to do that I was willing to put
in the hours burn the midnight oil make
sacrifices in my life and by doing that
because I've had many many days of
working 1416 hours
I've even had times in my life I worked
two days straight with no sleep I pulled
many all-nighters in my career by doing
that guys it's not that I want to do
that forever I don't do that today I
don't need to you know I'm in a
different position in my life but by
doing that in comparison when I work an
eight-hour day a 10-hour day a five-hour
day it's so much
easier because I've already pushed
myself beyond that it's almost like when
I have an eight-hour day I'm lifting
like a 10 pound dumbbell right because I
built my strength to lift 25 pounds 30
pound of bells that's been the strength
of built by pushing myself to those
levels that now when I work an
eight-hour day it's nothing it's easy
it's easy to do a video like this I've
done so much harder and I've built my
muscles my strength my capacity my
endurance to be able to do it okay so if
you've never done that before
you should okay if you've never worked
14 16 hour days you should not not
forever I'm not saying that you have to
forever do that but do it just for a
moment in your life challenge yourself
for 30 days 30 days you know I'm gonna
work beyond what I ever thought I could
I'm gonna get a second job a third job
if I need to I'm gonna pull an
all-nighter if I have to just do it for
the experience to build the muscle to
build your capacity because then it's
gonna be so much easier now that you
have that muscle when you do anything
else in your life another example of
this so something I did when I was young
I I was single of course and I wanted to
change my life I wanted to meet girls
and develop my confidence and my social
skills and the biggest challenge that I
had that held me back in my life at that
stage was I was shy I was very insecure
at low self-esteem I didn't have any
social skills its addicted to video
games or high school and so I didn't
develop any social skills growing up so
I felt behind I had to develop this I
had to and I wanted to change this in my
life and so when I was 19 years old I
started going to nightclubs and bars and
I'd go with my friends and you know
together we would push each other to go
and approach women and not just at the
nightclub and go to you know the street
the malls the coffee shop anywhere you
know to push ourselves to approach a
attractive person that we found
attractive and to have the courage and
overcome the anxiety to be able to walk
up to them and have a conversation and
whether or not the result was successful
or not because not you know not every
approach that you make with someone is
successful but I looked at the act of
doing it as pushing myself to overcome
my fears and develop my confidence and
social skills so I do that again and
again and again I've done it thousands
of times
where I'd go out and push myself to
approach a stranger and do what was
difficult to build my confidence and my
social skills and when you do that
enough time so you become confident you
become social you become outgoing you
become charismatic and you attract
people a lot easier so that was
something I did a lot now the
interesting thing was I'd go with my
friends and I realized drinking alcohol
was a crutch
you know you drink alcohol and you go to
a bar or a club you're not really
developing or confidence and social
skills you have a crutch you have liquid
courage you know because alcohol it gets
you out of your head it gets you present
in the moment you're not micromanaging
and overthinking things it just makes
you more comfortable and relaxed and
confident to socialize but I realized
that wasn't developing true confidence
in her confidence I needed something
external to determine my confidence and
I didn't want that so I would
intentionally not drink alcohol when I
went out but it I did that for years me
my friends would go out we would not
drink alcohol we drink our water with a
lemon and that was it when you go to
bars and clubs and we'd push ourselves
to do that now the reason why we did
that is because now if I decided to have
some alcohol or drink and get a bit of a
buzz and it gets me more comfortable
relaxed I don't need that anymore but it
makes it even that much easier because
I've trained myself to do it without it
and then here's also something that I
realized I realized when I was going to
these clubs my confidence was
situational confidence it was based on
my friend being there is I felt I
noticed I felt more confident more
comfortable when I had a friend with me
a wingman right my friends then when I
didn't and what scared the hell out of
me was actually approaching someone by
myself if I had no one else there that I
knew and I was the only person there and
I was sober and there's someone that I
wanted to meet and talk to you I noticed
that terrified me so much more being
there by myself versus when I had a
friend there I felt way more comfortable
comfortable and confident so I
recognized this and I said that's not
real confidence that's a situational
confidence what am I gonna do if the
woman of my dreams is right there
someone I want to meet I'm not gonna
not approach her because I'm fearful
because I haven't built this I'm gonna
miss out and have a feeling of regret
and a whole life kicking myself because
that could have been the one and I never
wanted to experience that I never wanted
to have that pain of a regret so what I
decided to do was I needed to learn how
to go to night clubs by myself no
friends there a new environment
I don't know anybody I'm totally sober
and a nightclub by the way is one of the
most difficult places to meet someone
because you're competing with the music
it's very difficult to have a
conversation other people are drunk and
intoxicated so the person you might be
talking to might be harder to get their
attention that might be all over the
place ADHD and so it's harder to you
have to really use your voice and their
body language in your presence to be
able to engage that person to make them
want to pay attention and have a
conversation with you because there's so
many other things competing for that
there's the music and all these other
things going on the lights the alcohol
their friends all of those things going
on and so I realized that if I can
challenge myself in a difficult
environment and get comfortable and
confident doing that then all of a
sudden when I'm with my friends it'd be
that much easier when I do have some
alcohol it'd be that much easier when
I'm not in an environment like that
that's difficult and it's at a coffee
shop it would be so easy to do that
because I've already pushed myself
beyond and trust me I had many days I
remember the first time I did that I
went to this nightclub called Mavericks
and Burnaby British Columbia Canada is a
club that I thought no I've never been
there before nobody would know who I was
because it was like further away from
Vancouver as I often the suburbs and if
I embarrassed myself it wouldn't matter
that forget who I was the next day so I
went to that nightclub and I remember
going there and getting myself pumped up
in my car I go into the club and I'm
terrified I'm overwhelmed I'm over in my
head
overthinking things micromanaging
panting about everything hesitation is
one of the worst things that's like
jumping into a pool the longer you wait
the harder that it gets and so that was
me I was sitting I was standing around
for hours and felt so embarrassed so it
felt so uncomfortable
I remember hours went by did not talk to
buddy and then I went home drove home
and at first as I was upset with myself
I was like man and stuff and you know
you couldn't do anything out you just
wasted hours of your time being here and
you didn't approach anyone you didn't
get any conversations you get any phone
numbers none of that but then I realized
you know I celebrated that because I
realized just the fact that I did that
made me different than anyone else the
fact that I did that the discomfort that
I felt that meant that I was growing
that has outside my comfort zone
and I was becoming more and the next
weekend when I did the same thing
it was also uncomfortable but it's less
comfortable than the week before and
then when I did it again I got more
comfortable with that and then
eventually I'd muster up the courage to
approach a woman give her a compliment
I'd be too afraid to continue the
conversation I just walk away you know
but then I prided myself and reinforced
the fact that I did it cuz again
whatever gets rewarded gets repeated
when you pat yourself on the back and
you say good job you celebrate it
instead of beating herself up because
you weren't perfect then that's how you
make progress that's how you're more
likely to repeat it so I realized that
eventually by doing this enough times
I'd become comfortable with discomforts
what was once difficult became easy and
I built my muscle I built my threshold
of what I could do and it's the same
thing in your life I mean professional
athletes do this all the time
professional athletes they train on
purpose in an environment that has a
higher altitude then what they're used
to with the oxygen is a lot thinner and
temperatures that are a lot hotter and
intense than what they're used to they
train with weights on their body when
they go for a run when they train they
intentionally make their training
difficult because the training is meant
to prepare them for the big event that's
yet to come
so you got to do the same thing in your
life you got to challenge yourself
beyond on purpose for 30 days work 16
hours just just for the heck of it just
to build that because when you build
that it's going to translate to other
areas of your life and the eight hour
work the eight hour workday is going to
be easy in comparison
when you go to your job each day build
the habit of working hard your business
going to the gym everything that you do
pride yourself and push yourself and
giving your all and being a hard worker
and then over time it becomes easy for
you okay in comparison to that and you
just feel unstoppable you feel that you
can truly achieve anything that you want
if you're committed enough for it so
hopefully this helps you guys set
something every day
push yourself guys push yourself a
little bit more a little bit more a
little bit more celebrate the fact that
you are pushing yourself link pleasure
to the process of doing it okay and I'm
sure that you guys will see on the other
side of this the rewards that you will
get the long term gratification the
confidence is self-esteem but also the
results and the life that you create
that's going to be well worth it okay so
