The ability to work hard has always been underappreciated and devalued by various elements in society. In our experience, it’s crystal clear that having a strong work ethic and positive attitude towards working hard is highly predictive of success. Below, you’ll find highlights of our conversations around how one might go about developing or leveling up their work ethic.

I grew up watching my parents work hard to provide to do the best they can for my brother and I. So I would say it’s genetics but also I learned hard work pays off so I make sure I go hard in everything I do. When you put in the work you will appreciate it more differently then if things were easily handed to you. Read more>>

Well my work ethic comes from my parents. Both my father and mother were born in Mississippi. We moved to Kansas City, Ks when I was three years old. I seen them work relentlessly my whole life. They installed that same mindset in me when I was young. I did teenage hustle and bustle jobs until I landed my first official job at 16. I have been grinding every since then. (Laughs) Thanks mom and dad! Read more>>

There are various places where I would say my work ethic comes from, but I will start by saying it was established at a very young age. For the first few years of my life, I was raised by my grandparents, and
so every day I would see how hard they worked, especially my grandma. Read more>>

If I had to say where I got my work ethic from I would say in the military. But, even wen I was young I had a job at 15 cleaning out construction sites after the drywall people finished. While my neighborhood friends were out having a great summer vacation, I worked. I always wanted to do things. Doing things takes money so the choice to work hard was easy. What I may have lacked in skill I overcame with being early and staying late. Read more>>

A lot of our resilience and work ethic comes from the city we reside in and experiencing life in it. Maintaining and thriving in life in our city is work in itself. When it came to the music side getting in the studio and working wasn’t something that was new to us. We take the experiences/ drive and will to survive and put that same energy into our work in studio and on stage or behind the boards and camera. Read more>>

I got my work ethic from my Dad. Growing up he was working for a Ryder and made a commute every day. Eventually he was tired of that commute as well as the people he was working for so he decided to open up his own business. For those that have never started their own business, it’s a huge step and has many risks. That never stopped him. I was around 6 or 7 years old when he took that leap. Read more>>

Like most American boys, I played sports as a kid. I wasn’t particularly good at any of them, but I tried them all, hell-bent on being a great athlete like my father. Basketball, football, baseball, track and field, everything. But I kinda sucked at them all, despite being a fit young guy. It wasn’t until I heard the heavy majesty Eddie Van Halen’s guitar come through the radio late one night that I knew exactly what I wanted to do, and was determined to out the hard work in to do it.
