Understanding hardwork and leverage is critical to get a headstart in your life. In today's day and age we are constantly fed the narrative that if you don't work hard then you won't achieve success in life, although that is true in most cases, we at Hardcore Headstart believe that working smart outweighs working hard to achieve long term success in life. We acquired this thinking from Naval Ravikant who says if you have great judgement on what to work on and who to work with in today’s world, you will achieve greater success than purely relying on the action of "hard work".
For example, you can work hard as a dishwasher for minimum wage or you can work on the next big project at SpaceX/Tesla and acquire equity in the company. In both scenarios you are working hard but the end results are not the same.
Therefore, the key to achieving the outcome you set for yourself is judgement and not just hard work, and this is made possible in today's world with access to leverage in the forms of people, finance, code, robotics and machines. It's never been a better time in history to be a human to get what you want in life.
In the episode of Hanging with Hardcore, Christopher Mampallil, Sameer Patil, Daniel Trease and Dylan Weston break down what hard work has become in today's world of social media, entrepreneurship and the mental health dilemma. We would like to give credit to Naval Ravikant who has provided Hardcore Headstart with so much value in the form of knowledge, mindset and identifying different ways of thinking, we highly recommend watching Naval Ravikant's content on YouTube.
