Hard Work ≠ Success (until you do THIS)

[@mike__durrett]

As an example of this working pretty well: I had no experience in the field of web design, but I got the job for a small start-up because I built a portfolio website using the tools they use in 48 hours, and sent it their way. Sometimes the unconventional approach to solving a problem can work. It's not always about how much effort you put in.

[@patrickpalomo323]

Great advice, i plan to have my boys watch this because what you said sounds very similar to the advice my dad gave me back in 1996 when as a teen i went looking for a job. Except you articulated better and had more details. Thanks.

[@EmmaIsWriting]

Usually a big fan of your vids but this one felt really disconnected from the reality of job hunting - at least in the UK tech industries, whether big corpo or smaller agency, that direct e-mail approach (especially the "I'm gonna fix all your problems" pitch) is absolutely hated. At best, if not ignored or blacklisted, you'll just get pointed to the official application process. And look, I hate most online job application systems, but there's no way to skip that step in most companies (and if you can, that brings up some major red flags for how biased their process is).

[@AstaginaProject]

It's really important to understand the meaning of success because people's interpretation of success is different to each other. You work hard, and are always disciplined. But you think, you aren't successful enough to be called a successful person. Now, the word 'grateful' takes over this situation. If you're grateful for yourself, for everything you have done so far, you will still be happy with the results.

[@nnkaz1k856]

Wow, that's an obvious thing that we should work to reach the result, I knew that, but I really worked in "try my best" mode and didn't reach the result in most cases. That was deep. Thank you for insights! Need to rewatch again

[@f-rizki]

I think the "result-focused" could be better phrased into somethings like "result-derived/result-specific". If I remember correctly, a process-based mindset would be more sustainable in a long term Nonetheless, thanks for sharing your insight! Here's my summary of the video: key attitude 1 Be 100% selfish & get help: find people, know what they what, help them, they will help you 2 Wake up with no alternatives (bare-minimum) 3 Track & test: quantify & check trend. Try something new if it stucks *knowing what your desired result is a prerequisite before formulating items above

[@kandiblick3822]

I believe everyone is at a different "place" on their journeys to success (whatever their definition of success is...and it may change on that journey). I've always believed in the "doing" as well. Having a plan is good...having the "why" is even better. As always, excellent, thought-provoking, and ACTIONABLE material. Thank you

[@ghosttiger84]

This is a gem of advice.

[@microMobilidade]

To improve my grip I used the monks technique. Wide mouth jars and carry them with an open hand grip

[@mtomat007]

If the Key Attitude, or call it however you want, is fake, ie.e still in the process to become second skin and automatic, we will never succeed. Or we might, but it won't last. There is also this presupposition that we need to succeed and/or need to be happy... who said that? No one, coming onto this world, has signed a contract that guarantees success, health, fame, money, a perfect relationship and everlasting happiness. The only thing that we have to do is live. That's all. Not become copies of others, but simply live. Find our niche, and live. Just live and listen to our heart. Nothing more than that. All the rest are rules, and tricks and plans and formulas that do not really work but creates "versions" of us which are not really us. Just live and forget everything else. It might work, it might not. THere is no certainty, no need to control and THIS is the beauty of life: learning to live regardless... with the certainty that we might NEVER be happy, never be healthy, never be rich. And still, we live and enjoy living.

I manifested this video. I feel more successful already.

Brilliant, such great advice, already feel better about tomorrow.

❤❤ Thanks bro. This video out of the box advice 😊

[@jouwenlee7829]

Appreciate your life experience sharing. Good to start my Monday morning with. Enjoy your weekend.

[@tundrusphoto4312]

There is no "secret sauce" when it comes to success. First, success is defined differently by each person. Second, working hard and/or smart may or may not give you what you want. The one thing that no one controls is luck. Some may tell you that you cam make your own luck or you can increase your luckiness by doing certain things - but that is a mishmash of statistical wishful thinking and motivational speaker pixie dust. Good things happen to bad people and good people suffer bad things. Working towards a goal and doing everything right will increase your chances of having the success you want, but circumstances have to align for you. For example, Da Vinci may have drawn a flying machine but the technology to make one didn't exist.

[@zoelee8471]

Excellent advice! Definitely some wise words, true and tested. 😊

[@MistaKastro]

Hey! Second! :D Keep up the great work, Maurice! You help more than you think :)

[@ShinbiBelldandy]

I definitely agree with emailing the hiring manager or whoever posted the job. It gives you an edge because they see you’re serious & not doing the bare minimum. I notice that when I do that or at least send a thank you message after an interview, I get a response back faster. I would also add take a chance and apply to jobs that may not 100% align with your skills or educational background. There are good employers that are willing to teach & mold willing candidates if you’ve demonstrated that you take risks & are eager to learn. I got one of my licenses that way & they helped pay for part of the fees.

[@akkaadadimana]

Oh this is a refreshful video coming from this channel!

[@AJ5]

Nothing you do can guarantee "success". The three tips can help, just like the other 5, but even if you do all 8 you still might fail. Take it from someone who succeeded and failed a lot. Luck and external factors play major roles

[@microMobilidade]

TINA is something I heard someone (comiclab) say. If uou have a plan B you wont commit to plan A. If you only have one choice you will commit

[@Eyephere]

Product Review Maurice >>>> Self Help Guru Maurice Just my opinion. But I’ve watched every video on this channel. And your EDC stuff is a million times more entertaining engaging and effective. Self Help Guru Maurice is wildly and ironically condescending even while wanting to sound self deprecating. And the information is useful but not always practical. Seems based in nothing but your own consumption of self help guru material regurgitation. In my opinion. Meanwhile, the EDC stuff seems more natural to your personality. Helpful. Methodical in a great way. Appreciate those much more.

Albert Einstein was able to visualize the answer of what problem he was trying to solve. Then, working forward and backwards all's he had to do is prove it using theory and mathematics. Life should not be so difficult, what has worked for me over my 50 + years of working is a higher level of confidence than everyone else. Most of the time it has worked out splendidly, a few times not. Don't take it personally, learn and move forward. Good luck

[@Lenduya]

Being results focused is in fact not the way, at least according to science. It leads to insecurity and tying your own identity to things that you can't always control. Growth oriented people outperform result oriented people.

[@microMobilidade]

That depends on the point of view. Check Monotzukuri as it relates to the art of the craft.

[@its_just_sock]

sound advice as always Maurice. 👏👏👏

[@thomasmorrison675]

Where is the leather clip on double pen holder you use in many of your videos from?

[@ohzenn]

There are a lot of reasons why people "fail" and failures not bad. The best of the best have learned to harness failure to continually grow and improve. I actually have found for myself that being strictly focused on quantitative results isn't as powerful as being focused on "states of being" - maybe because I'm an ideas person. This allows me to frame actions I take throughout the day from the lens of, is this making me X or moving me towards X state?

sorry mate TERRIBLE advice... finding someones direct work mail to directly mail the hiring team leader while also circumventing the HR process is a sure fire way to "DO NOT HIRE" list really quickly... it is UNPROFESSIONAL and frankly essentially stalking. If they were okay with you reaching out to a team member, they would give you their contact. Otherwise you contact a company with the means they want you to.

[@RMA_432_]

One of the many reasons I deleted my LI profile. Its a real FB/IG type shit show now anyways.

[@Antenox]

I think it makes more sense if you've already had the first introduction, like you've had the first phone call interview or, better, a video interview or first round in-person interview. Otherwise, it's like cold calling, which is annoying to whoever's on the receiving end

[@transfixit]

@@hookey1000 where are you from? I've always done it and always worked. Also, there is a huge difference among company types. You mention HR but that only exist in large companies

[@hookey1000]

@@transfixit location is pretty irrelevant as this is very unprofessional. It's pretty much stalking, regardless of the work context. If they were okay with you reaching out to a team member, they would give you their contact. Otherwise you contact a company with the means they want you to. I can only see this being okay if you are applying for a small company that advertises their professional (individual) mail address in their website voluntarily. The work mail address aren't in the public domain just like that for a reason. Not to mention the inconvenience you'll cause for both the person receiving the mail and IT people flagging it as spam/phishing. Just don't do this. It's a terrible idea.

[@transfixit]

@@hookey1000 work culture is different in every country wether you accept it or not. The fact that you not only never did it but find it unacceptable can only be cultural. I'm almost hesitant to tell you I've even went as far as suggesting a cafe or a beer with the person who would have been my boss to ask questions and see if there's a fit. (And he said yes, and we met and it wasn't a fit and everybody saved a lot of time)

[@BrandonDJx]

Big fan of the channel and avid watcher, but I have to say this video is a miss. It doesn't connect well nor is it practical. If you own a business which needs clients to buy products. You can help the client all you want, but you can't control the result of them buying from you. You certainly can't direct message a recruiter whilst you've applied for a role.
