Why Most Hardworking People Are Poor

I remember growing up in the village and being called “Lazy” by my parents and siblings just because I couldn’t do much of physical works.
“Be hard-working” was a good advice those days because most professions of the day, like farming and hunting needed physical strengths.
In today’s world however, most people with physical strengths are broke and there are 5 reasons for that;

Learning to keep money is the hardest part for most people.

Thank goodness for those who put the bones to hard work, sometimes there is no option. We won't all be rich but we will still be alright.

Ok but my grandfather told me "Work smarter NOT harder" as a child I thought he was crazy, though I loved him dearly!! Years later when I started working at a factory, I would find myself getting forced to take jobs that I wasn't paid for!! In more than one factory I was told to do the work of an engineer, and I would, and when I asked for more money I was told "You do not have a college degree" even though I was FORCED to do the work I was given or be fired! On top of that my life experiences taught me how to "be a boss" as well, so I am a real "take charge" kind of person, and I can see how to "manage" people under my control (as I am normally at these same jobs told to supervise these people as well), so I would find myself at these jobs managing up to 20 or 30 people, engineering the crap I was building, and STILL only earning about half or a third less than the people I have working for me and under me, and again when I asked for more money, even a modest raise to reflect the work I am actually DOING, I am told "You don't have a college degree" and that "The work you are doing is in your job description"!! In the end working hard is NOT enough, but being "smart" is not worth a damn thing either!! In fact it really sucks when NOBODY takes you seriously at all!! I ultimately quit a couple of the jobs I used to work, just to have the company BEG me, to return to work, and STILL not offer me any reward or "motivation" to bother with their offers!! At one company they totally insulted my by telling me "we are better off without you", and then for the next month DEMANDED I give them my notes on how to build the things I built in four departments I was trained in, which NOBODY ELSE had ever been trained on those jobs, so I told them to "PISS OFF" very literally, the same company closed a month later!! Eventually I learned there is no job worth killing myself for!! I started working for myself and making MORE MONEY working for me, then I had working at larger companies!!! So if you really want to be "rich" start young and work for nobody at all, that way you can't be USED or exploited for your talents!!

You either working on your dream or somebody else will pay you to work on theirs. You can't get rich working for somebody because you are their Leverage.

Don't work for money, let money work for you.

Number 3 is so true! I created a yardwork company here in beautiful Tucson, Arizona. Field mind and office mind are different. Switching them is called 'something' fatigue (another video I saw...), and it is real! Being in the office full time now makes both me, and my workers, far more productive then we were last year!

Well my former employer worked hard before he started his business. He was a journeyman Welder in Alberta in Canada. Back in 1970s he and his wife lived out of welding truck, working about 70 hours a week. He had his B pressure ticket and making good money and traveled all over the province in his welding truck. He saved his money over the years in that time, he then bought a welding shop in red earth creek Alberta. But when he started he didn't have a any customers. So he had a friend that was in the same business that was already had customers. He then bought out 60 percent of his business and became partners. They started with about 20 employees in the 1980s. By the time in late 1990s they were over 200 employees. They also expanded with another welding shop in Edmonton Alberta. When I worked for them, they were doing jobs in the oil patch. We were building drilling rigs, derriicks and welding pipe for a gas plant. Today each of them of those two guys are worth about 50 million dollars each.

Never mentioned in this video is the element of taking risks: life is risk, and every investment in time and money has some element of risk, and often, those that take the greatest risks gain the most rewards, or.. end up in bankruptcy. If you try to avoid risks, you run a high risk of never making much progress towards wealth or any sort of advancement.

One of the biggest earliest risks is choosing what you spend your time doing, improving your value in the market or being a social butterfly or just doing something without aim: what are your long-term rewards? There’s a balance to be had, but no self-investment is one of the most guaranteed ways to lose.

In order to succeed it does take hard work. But we also have to work smart. And working smart and hard is the key to success.

[bluwng]

Hard work includes mental, who said it implied only the physical?

[martinrochejocquelein]

Working people are poor for one simple reason..when in school we were programmed to fail in everything financial..sure people will say different but one we were not taught about money..credit cards..credit..banking etc..we were told to find a job and stay with it for 40+ years..there are no more pension or very little..even our supervisors fail...with relationships we fail..buy expensive cars and homes we can't afford we fail..even groceries we buy junk foods..another fail..school didn't prepare us so basically we failed out of the gate..

If you have a job where your lifting something heavy, ...it behooves you to figure out how to get the weight down on the equipment your using. Or how you're lifting something. Maybe use something like a dolly to move many things. I was doing chem-dry (carpet and upholstery cleaning) and we use to use a co2 power sprayer unit to clean the carpets. The company came out with a much lighter electric pump that replaced the steel cylinder used to pressurize the 5-gallon solution tank (which was on a dolly-like thing for easy moving). And this was a great improvement. Further weight loss could also be achieved with a lighter buffer with had weights on the bottom to make it heavier (which really weren't necessary). Also, a lighter vacuum cleaner could be used. Can you go any faster is usually the request of the bosses? Well, you can, but let's get this equipment really light (and get a faster spinning buffer). The lower weight really helps save your back. I had to quit after 5 years because the weight of the equipment to lift in and out of the vehicle was very hard on my back. A wooden ramp would have helped and bigger wheels on the buffer unit (would have helped a lot when wheeling upstairs). You wouldn't think but there's a lot of thought that goes into most jobs. But there is. Especially if you're going to do it for the rest of your working life. Or at least consider doing it for that long. I was paid on a commission (percentage). And that helped us all work together on how to do most things involved with the job.

Great video, ppl need to stop playing the “blame game” all the time and move forward on their own accord!!

Just imagine waking up early in the morning rushing to take bus or train. Reaching home tired. Sleeping late waking up early from Monday to Saturday no rest.

[juanmartines]

JUST ONE PERSONS POINT OF VIEW. DO WHAT BRINGS YOU FULFILLMENT!

[Avrelivs_Gold]

I have learned this the hard way.
The more talented you are, the bigger the illusion that you can do it all by yourself.
You can not. One bee cannot survive. But a hive can grow infinitely.
The only way is to gather people and use their skills in exchange of cumulative value.

[BrainPower]

Working hard use physical strength, working smart use mental strength! By using your mental ability, it will send signals to your whole body to work hard towards your target!

Bottom line:

WORK HARD
WORK SMART and
BE PATIENT. 😊

P.S. THANKS FOR THIS WISDOM 👍
