Instant MBA: The Key To Success Is 'Out-Hustling' Everyone
This article is something that I agree with 100%. It seems like many people in our generation expect things to be handed to them without putting in much effort. To be successful, it requires hard work. When you aren't as smart as others, you gave to put in more work to reach their level. It may not seem fair, but that is how the world works. Many people want to put in the same amount of work as others, and expect the same reward. In some cases, that is not how it works. If you want to succeed in life and prove yourself better than others, than you have to work harder than them. The hard work will pay off and your employers will see it.

Now this is something I can completely relate to. Out-working or out-hustling those around is an aspect everyone could incorporate. The advice from Michael Bloomberg is straight forward in saying that even if you are not like those who are exceptionally smart and accomplish or understand things with little to no ease, if you still put in the work and time you can still compete and be just as effective. Strong work ethic is what separates many strong individuals from the weaker. It is also true that while you cannot directly teach someone to have a good work ethic, but it can sometimes rub off on others or inspire those around to work harder by leading by example.

INSTANT MBA: The Key to Success is 'Out-Hustling' Everyone
This article is completely true. Everyone is willing to give more to the person who is doing more for their company. As a dance teacher I frown on the better dancers that feel that they are the best and they don't really need to improve, and I tend to praise the dancers that aren't as talented but work their hardest to become just as good. Hard workers will always get rewarded more. Also, the harder workers develop a better work ethic, and they don't get lazy on the job, in which most bosses notice a lot more than someone who is very intelligent but doesn't put any of that intelligence to use.

The article discusses the importance of dedication towards work. One may not be the best at doing things, but slowly and gradually through active participation, he can bring fruitful result to the company. The key here is the willingness to learn and have full dedication to your work. A company can train you how to do things but its your sole decision how to execute it. Putting extra effort in knowing things can be very rewarding in long run.

Instant MBS "The Key to Success is ‘Out Hustling’ Everyone" Link of the Day 3 Comment: I’m not a fan of Michael Bloomberg but, I must admit, he is a “hustler.” He never stops. I do agree on his opinion on work ethics. It is, BY FAR, the most important attribute that will propel a person forward in the business world. A person can be the smartest person in the room but if that person is unwilling to “put it to work” they will be the least valuable person in the room. This country was founded on hard work and commitment and that principle will never change.

I believe that it is true that the harder you are willing to work and the more dedication you show, the more likely you are to move up in the company and to ensure more job security. I once heard a quote that said, "You can never be over-dressed or over-educated" I think that is a wonderful quote for someone in business. Overall, having the degree, experience, knowledge, ect. will help anyone out in the long run, however, if they are not willing to work hard they most likely won't be heading anywhere fast.

I think it is great message the article discusses about not having to be the smartest person but by being the first one there and the last one to leave. More people need this attitude in todays business world. Being smart helps you land some better opportunities but working hard lets you keep them and even grow more within the company. I believe working hard and learning everything you can about that job will lead to better results and greater rewards.

Instant MBA: The Key To Success Is 'Out-Hustling' Everyone
After reading the article, “The Key to Success is Out-Hustling Everyone,” I found myself comparing the advice from the article to my life…and I totally agree! Being a dedicated, hard worker really goes a long way in almost any setting. Whether you are doing a sport, a group project, or a job responsibility, people notice a hard worker. A lot of times, a the hardest worker may be the first one up for a promotion or reward. Also, I find that most people have more patience with someone they see who is willing to put forward the hours of hard work and discipline to learn a specific task. People that “hustle” are the type of people you should want to work with or have working for you.

The Key To Success Is 'Out-Hustling' Everyone I agree with this most of the time and live it daily. Putting 100% of yourself into your job is definitely something that turns heads. Many times this spare time helps train you to do the things you had to stay late to do, eventually leading to you coming and going on time and getting all of your work and more done in between.

We have heard the saying, "give one-hundred and ten percent," our entire lives. Most of the time it is people who have already lived through these situations that are giving the advice and it still holds true today. You hardly ever see the laziest person at work getting a promotion or accolades and there is a reason for that. There is a direct correlation between hard work and success. Keeping your nose to the grindstone will bring you to success nine times out of ten.

Investing more time and working harder than others always pays off in some way. The more time and work you provide, the greater your opportunities and rewards will be. Investing yourself into something where others may be naturally smarter than you yet less invested often allows you to perform better than them. Weaknesses can be bypassed with the demonstration of hard work and the desire to gain knowledge. In my past I have found this to be quite true in classes. Not that I have put in the hard work and time but quite the opposite. I have seen peers who normally would score lower than me, invest many hours in studying where I would trust in my previous limited knowledge, go on to actually score better than me. With that and similar events in mind, I have decided to focus more on gaining additional information on anything initially learned. In the working world, I plan to invest more time towards learning my job in and out as well as learn how others perform the same job.

I agree with Mr. Bloomberg about work ethic. It doesn't matter if you're the smart as long as you are willing to put in the work. You can be the smartest person in the world but if you don't work hard then what does all that knowledge amount too? In the United States hard workers are valued and always in need. I know I'd much rather have a hard worker on my team then a educated know it all.

Instant MBA: The Key To Success Is 'Out-Hustling' Everyone
This article brings to mind the phrase, "actions speak louder than words." If you truly want something, you're not just going to say it. If you truly want something, you're going to do whatever it takes to achieve it. You're going to be the first one in and the last one out. You're going to ask questions that others may have, but are too afraid to ask. I just transferred to SLU from Nicholls State this semester. My major became Human Resources not too long before I started at SLU. Having such a "tight" field of study, I am determined to do whatever I can to have a job when I graduate. Going to career fairs, applying for internships, and of course studying my butt off. There comes an age, education wise, where the only person that is important in your journey is yourself.

This article is hands down, awesome! One of my marketing teachers last semester told us this same thing-"make sure you are the first one in there every day and the last one to leave". He said to park your car next to your boss's car. He said that way he will see your car is already at work before he gets there. As well as when he is leaving at the end of the day, he will notice that your car is still there after everyone else has already left. You may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but if your work ethnic out-shines everyone else's, then you have already won. Being a hard worker is something no one can take away from you. It is an amazing quality to have. Always go the extra mile at work and it will surely not go unnoticed.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all about hard work and perseverance! But... I'm much more passionate about a good work/life balance. Working "longer and harder" than anyone else is a great idea in theory, but is also a good way to get burnt out and set unrealistically high expectations that may have a negative impact later in your time with the company. I do have "down-time" in my job, and make it a point to always find something in our Policies & Procedures intranet site to educate myself while I have nothing to do. There are many ways to set yourself above others that don't involve missing dinner with your family.
