Now it's time to get back to work. The accepted wisdom is that we must work hard to get ahead. But that's not really true. It doesn't really matter how hard you work. What matters is how much you get done.
Many people fall into the trap of doing a lot of work without ever getting anything done.
You start by learning to value yourself and your time. You must believe that your are a worthwhile, valuable individual with something unique to contribute to the world. When you adopt that mindset, you'll realize what a shame it is to waste your time. You'll want to find ways to be more productive because you'll value your own time so highly. Unfortunately, people will take advantage of you if you let them.
