Hard work + Kindness: A true recipe for success

One of the things that I've learned over time is that hard work really does make things happen. There are any number of quotes floating around that talk about how hard work creates your own luck, makes your business prosper and generally makes your life better than it would be otherwise. Today's quote however takes that to a new level when it adds in the entire concept of being kind. Unfortunately it today's business culture, those who are the most cutthroat are held up as the example of how you get ahead in business and frankly I find that disappointing. 

I've been fortunate to work with a large number of folks over time that exemplify the power of hard work coupled with kindness. The results that those people have produced both for themselves and others is truly amazing. 

As you start your Tuesday, give some thought to whether you are just working hard, or if you are working hard while being kind to others as well. We don't have to run over others in this life to be a success and in fact I'd encourage you to look long and hard at what you're willing to do to succeed. I talk often about my mantra of ‪#‎WhateverItTakes‬, because without the richness that others bring to this life - no amount of success will ever be enough. Make it a great day today, work hard... and be kind.
You, your life and the world around you will be better for it!  ‪#‎startuplife‬ ‪#‎KindnessPaysOff‬ ‪#‎NoLetUp‬ ‪#‎WorkHardDaily‬‪#‎NeverGiveUpOnYourDreams‬ ‪#‎Thriving‬
