The Multi-millionaire host of MyFirstMillion, Shaan Puri gives a lot of controversial rules for success.
Some agree with them. Some hate him for them.

One of those rules is: Hardwork is overrated.

I summarized hours and hours of his content on hard-work into this short 45-sec read.

Do you agree with Shaan or not? The comment section’s yours.

(I’ve also pasted the post below)

The world revolves around storytelling.

Everything you know about success (or failure, or religion, or passion, or love, or hate, or literally anything you know) is a story that the media, governments, society, and you have crafted.
Money is a story. Constitutions are stories. Brands are stories.
One such story — is hard work.

Hard work ain’t nothin’ brah!

It’s not what it seems like, guys.
Just to clarify,
Shaan never said that hard work is bad.
He says: it’s overrated.
Who do you think works more:
- Waiter in a restaurant serving tables all day.
- Founder of a 7 figure dropshipping store.
Well, the first one.
I think you already know who makes more
(The second one……WHO’S WORKING LESS….don’t tell anyone…sheeeshh…)

“Whatttt?
My parents lied to me?
My society lied to me?
My teachers lied to me?”

Not exactly guys. They didn’t lie to you.
They didn’t know themselves.
So, if hard work isn’t the key to riches.
What is?

‘Project Selection’

Choosing the right project.
In your life, there are 150,000 things you could do.
Most people do only one.or two
Or if you’re anything like Shaan, you’ll do 20.
But that’s it.
Choose them wisely.
Naval Ravikant says:

“What you choose to work on, and who you work with is far more important than how hard you work”

Then why the hell does everyone scream ‘Work Hard’?

Because it’s fucking attractive.
It’s virtue signalling.

Hard work looks cool.

It makes you sound like a “total-self-made man”. (or woman)
Don’t misinterpret this.
Hard work is essential to success.
But you don’t need to break records by working hard and longer hours.
After choosing the right project, and the people you do it with, work ‘hard enough’ to execute that projec.

The importance priority:

What you work on > Who you work with > How hard you work.
I’ll do posts on Shaan’s other controversial rules

What are your thoughts on this? Is Shaan Right? or Not?
