Are there successful people who are known for being really lazy?
Me.
Because I religiously follow this:
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective MEDIOCRE People.
1.) Procrastination
Procrastination is your body telling you you need to back off a bit and think more about what you are doing. Examine procrastination from every side. It’s trying to tell you something. LISTEN TO IT.
2.) Failure
Learn how to overcome a particular failure, and not repeat the same mistakes. Keep failing until you accidentally no longer fail. THAT’S PERSISTENCE.
3.) Poor Networking
Many people network too much. Entrepreneurship is hard enough. Work your 20 hours then RELAX WHEN YOU CAN.
4.) Zero-tasking
You should strive for excellence in zero-tasking. Do nothing. Sometimes it’s better to just be quiet, to not think of anything at all. OUT OF SILENCE COMES THE GREATEST CREATIVITY.
5.) Not Original
Take two older ideas that have nothing to do with each other, make them have sex, and then BUILD A BUSINESS AROUND THE BASTARD UGLY CHILD THAT RESULTS.
6.) Do Anything To Get A “Yes”
One out of 100 will say “yes”. You get the occasional loss leader, but ULTIMATELY THE BIG FISH GETS REELED IN.
7.) Poor Judgement of People
The mediocre entrepreneur is at higher risk of bringing the wrong people into their circle. SPEND A LOT MORE TIME getting to know the people who you want to bring closer.
