Follow the&nbsp;footsteps of anyone who has made it in any industry and you will&nbsp;discover someone with a work ethic.<br /><br />What follows are some thoughts on HARD WORK for Thought Leaders.<br /><br /><strong>Three UNWORKS:</strong><br /><br />1. When you align your work to your passion, you don't ever feel like it's work.<br />2. When you choose who you want to serve, it hardly ever feels like an effort.<br />3.&nbsp;When you teach others you personally grow, teaching therefore is not a 'to-do', it's a joy.<br /><br /><strong>AND five WORK Smarters:</strong><br /><br />1. Get three things done before 8am each day. Quick wins are key to&nbsp;success momentum.<br />2. When your working day starts, focus on the one big thing that if&nbsp;you only did that, you can call your day a success.<br />3. Increase your capacity to work. Get fit, eat right, get organised,&nbsp;read, go to courses, learn stuff.<br />4. Obsess about workflow hacks and personal productivity strategies.</span><br /><span>5. Launch new projects all the time</span><span>.</span></p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.mattchurch.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-33915478.xml</wfw:commentRss><feedburner:origLink>http://www.mattchurch.com/blog/2013/6/18/hard-work.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><title>New Webinar Recording on Productivity</title><category>Productivity</category><category>mega productivity</category><category>productivity</category><dc:creator>Matt Church</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 11 Jun 2013 21:10:17 +0000</pubDate><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MattChurchThoughtLeader/~3/ZndGbOrV6ZE/new-webinar-recording-on-productivity.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">821594:16038454:33892799</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><iframe id="viddler-c426468c" src="http://www.mattchurch.com//www.viddler.com/embed/c426468c/?f=1&autoplay=0&player=full&secret=81216445&loop=0&nologo=0&hd=0" width="741" height="459" frameborder="0" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true"></iframe></p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.mattchurch.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-33892799.xml</wfw:commentRss><feedburner:origLink>http://www.mattchurch.com/blog/2013/6/12/new-webinar-recording-on-productivity.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><title>Team at LuLu on Thought Leadership - Nice work!</title><category>Thought Leadership</category><category>thought leadership</category><dc:creator>Matt Church</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 11 Jun 2013 19:58:11 +0000</pubDate><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MattChurchThoughtLeader/~3/h8QlTsjub8w/team-at-lulu-on-thought-leadership-nice-work.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">821594:16038454:33892509</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><iframe src="http://prezi.com/embed/g_0sms9piu1z/?bgcolor=ffffff&amp;lock_to_path=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;autohide_ctrls=0&amp;features=undefined&amp;disabled_features=undefined" width="550" height="400" frameBorder="0"></iframe></p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.mattchurch.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-33892509.xml</wfw:commentRss><feedburner:origLink>http://www.mattchurch.com/blog/2013/6/12/team-at-lulu-on-thought-leadership-nice-work.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><title>Complimentary Download | White Paper: Work Smarter Not Harder</title><category>Matt Church</category><category>ideas</category><category>mega productivity</category><category>productivity</category><category>thought leadership</category><category>work smarter</category><dc:creator>Matt Church</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 10 Jun 2013 21:35:57 +0000</pubDate><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MattChurchThoughtLeader/~3/zI1QX8WLX0g/complimentary-download-white-paper-work-smarter-not-harder.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">821594:16038454:33887113</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><span><span class="full-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><a href="http://mattchurch.com/worksmarterform/" target="_blank"><br /><img src="http://gallery.mailchimp.com/ebe4afb5706a7ed3d1687ebf1/images/Screen_shot_2013_06_10_at_7.18.49_AM.png" alt="" width="180" height="255" align="left" /></a></span></span>This month's White Paper is Work Smarter Not Harder by Matt Church; A chapter from the 3rd book in the Ideas Series.</span></p>
<p><span>This article is written with the hope that it will set a few people free, who, like me, have several books on the go at once, work better in noisy places than sterile offices and lurch from one project to the next following the feel-good energy.</span></p>
<p><span>At the same time, I want to reassure everyone that regardless of who you are &ndash; even if you like to-do lists and have a spotless desk &ndash; you can work smarter if you simply understand your personal productivity platform.</span></p>

Leveraging your time becomes one of the major pieces of the success puzzle.</span></h1>

In a practice, you add the greatest value you can, then get out of the way. In a business, it's about the CEO getting out of the business altogether.</span></p>
<p><span>We teach information experts how to create&nbsp;<a href="http://www.mattchurch.com/mdeprogram" target="_blank">million dollar expert</a>&nbsp;practices selling their thoughts. Contrary to the internet marketing and wealth creation deluge on the NET, we show people how to create a labour of love practice. To find out more about the distinction between a practice and a business you can check out the back issues on my BLOG.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>My thoughts on being mega productive:</span></strong></p>
<ol>
<li><span>Figure out your productivity platform (past issue on&nbsp;BLOG&nbsp;about this)</span></li>
<li><span>Set a context for the day. Today is a writing day, today is a mentoring day. And try to do just that. (Cheers David Allen)</span></li>
<li><span>Focus on 50 minutes of doing and 10 minutes of float time. (Cheers Taki Moore)</span></li>
<li><span>Do the toughest thing first. (Thanks Brian Tracy)</span></li>
<li><span>Empty your mind onto a list. (Thanks Lexie Church)</span></li>
