Develop a Workaholic Mentality - Brian Tracy's Millionaire Success Secret 6

Develop a Workaholic Mentality

Success secret number six: develop a workaholic mentality.
All self-made millionaires work hard, hard, hard. They start earlier, they work harder, and they stay later. They develop the reputation for being amongst the hardest working people in their fields, and everybody knows it. Practice the 40+ formula. This formula says that you work 40 hours per week for survival. Everything over 40 hours is for success. If you only work 40 hours, and the average work week today is closer to 35 hours, all you will ever do is survive. You'll never get ahead. You'll never be a big financial success. You'll never be highly respected and esteemed by your colleagues. You will always be mediocre if you just work the basic 40 hour week.
But every hour over 40 is an investment in your future. In fact, you can tell where you're going to be in five years by looking at how many hours over 40 you put in every week. The average self-made millionaire in America today works 59 hours per week and some of them work 70 and 80 hours per week. The average self-made millionaire in America works six days per week rather than five and works longer days, as well. If you want to call a self-made millionaire, phone the office before normal working hours and after normal working hours. The self-made millionaire is usually there when the staff arrives and is still there when they leave.
And here's the key: work all the time you work. When you work, don't waste time. When you get in early, put your head down and get started immediately. When people want to talk to you, you excuse yourself and say, “I have to get back to work.” Don't drop off your dry cleaning, phone your friends, socialize with your coworkers or read the newspaper. Work all the time you work. Resolve today to develop the reputation for being the hardest working person in your company. This will be bring you to the attention to the people who can help you faster than almost anything else you can do.
