Have you ever heard someone say (or read it on a t-shirt): "Nobody Cares. Work Harder" or something similar? This is a popular mentality in sports (and the workplace). It implies that any reason for not reaching your goal is an invalid excuse. It goes further stating that working harder is how you overcome those excuses and reach your goals. Which, of course, implies you aren't already working hard. It is a classic approach that uses a catchphrase, a little fear, and a call to action that sounds good but doesn't address nuanced problems inherent to reaching difficult goals. 

The reality is that you can work hard and still fail. Hard work isn't always enough. Hard work isn't always right. You've probably also heard something along the lines of "Work Smarter..." This advice is in contrast to the work harder statement... or is it? It turns out you need to work hard and work smart to reach big goals. Sounds logical but that can be the difference between success and failure. So how do you work harder and smarter? Well, first you throw away the fear. Stop thinking nobody cares. Somebody does care. YOU!

Too corny? Sorry, it's true. you wouldn't be reading this if you didn't care. You wouldn't want to reach your goals if you didn't care. So the work starts with you, not the outside noise. Now, the inside noise... that's the challenge we are here to conquer.
