Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
If you aren’t achieving all you’d like to in business, look in the mirror rather than looking for external reasons why. Most people simply goof off too much at work, and that is the reason why their results are below expectations. If you want to achieve more, stand up, square your shoulders and work harder. Take responsibility for your own success because nobody else will.
Purely and simply your results always reflect the quality of your performance. To generate great results, you need to perform consistently well. There are seven specific things you can do to bridge that gap between poor and great results:
“These ideas are the things that have personally worked for me. I won’t ask you to do anything that I haven’t done myself. If my ideas make sense to you, then try them to see if they work. If they work for you, then celebrate, because it’s all been worth it. If my ideas don’t make sense to you, I suggest you try them anyway. After all, what you’re currently doing probably isn’t working so well and you are probably ready for something new. If you try my ideas and they don’t work, what have you really lost? A little time, a little effort, a little money. But you will still be one step closer to knowing what is right for you.”
– Larry Winget

Summary of It’s Called Work For a Reason (Larry Winget)
1. Work hard and don’t fudge
If you’re brutally honest with yourself, you probably only spend a small proportion of your work-day actually doing what you are paid to do. The rest of the time you’re goofing off. Stop lying to yourself and find practical ways you can work faster, smarter and harder. Focus on your results, not your activities.
It’s amazing how many people think about their workplace from a social perspective. That’s a complete waste of time and effort. The bottom line is you are hired to be productive and to get results. If your contribution doesn’t outweigh your expense, sooner or later the company will realized that and rectify the situation. Your entire emphasis, therefore, should be focused squarely on making a contribution to the bottom line profit of your organization.
How did everything get this way?
Many people are trying to work just hard enough to avoid getting fired. Companies, in turn, are trying to work just hard enough to keep their investors happy.Some employees focus more on trying to look busy than they do on getting the most productive things done.Relatively few people ever stop and decide what their top priority items are and work on those first.Organizations reward people for looking busy instead of rewarding them for getting the most important things done.People aren’t really taught how to be good workers and managers tolerate poor performance. Expectations are deliberately kept low.It’s become so easy for people to stretch their breaks and take the path of least resistance rather than working hard to generate outstanding results.All of these distractions hide the fact success in business is always profoundly simple. It isn’t easy, or there would be many more successful people in the world, but the simple fact is there really are no great “secrets” you have to know. Success in business always come down to one very straightforward concept which applies in every area imaginable:
