I remember growing up in Jos city with my parent and siblings.

Apparently, I was not physically huge and also hard-working in comparison to my elder brother.

During the holidays, I sometimes went to farm and due to the nature of the farm work I was considered lazy.

I was told severally of the need to be hard working, it was clearly emphasized that hard work was the pathway to success.

These made me consciously and subconsciously start focusing more on developing physical muscle which I believed was equal to hard work.

The days of physical strength equal hard work is gone.

As the world revolves from night to day, we no longer need physical strength to be rich.

How do I know? Take a look at the real world there are millions- no make that billions- of people who's slave- away.

Working their tails off all day and even all night long. Are they all rich? No! Are most of them rich? No! Are alot of them rich? No! Most of them are broke or close to it.

Here are three reasons I believe hard work (hustling) can't make one rich.

� Coming from the slave trade era, most physical- body building young men were consider relevance to the colonial Masters;

Down to the time of farming and hunting were physical muscle was so necessary to be rich. Now, the status quo as change.

We no longer need to work our face and tail off.

We are in the era of technology, where it is no longer how hard you can work but I hard you can think.

It is no longer about bones, but about brain.

Innovative thinking is now the sure way to premium pleasant and permanent wealth.

� Hustling only makes you tired not rich. Working hard was believed to be the secret to success.

You see, the above statement is not completely true.

Let me ask you some questions: are you hard-working? do you think you are making the kind of money your energy deserve?

See ehh, the time for bones and bodybuilding is gone. It's time for brain work. Look at the following basic Fact:

WhatsApp is a mobile application which was sold to Facebook 2014 for 16 billion dollars, YouTube were sold in 2005, 1.65 billion dollars. Facebook net worth in 2018 was 150 billion dollars.

Now, tell me, how hard do you think you can work to earn such amount of wealth.

Do not depend so much on developing physical capacity start building your brain power.

� Hustling prevent you from thinking and getting financial education.

if you are the type that work very hard at work (office) than you do on yourself,

I have a bad news for you you can not be rich that way.

T.Harv Eker, the author secrets of the millionaire mind says *"your income can only grow to the extent that you do"* meaning that, for you to stay rich, financial education is pivotal.

You need to create time for personal development ( brain power). Hustling (work) should not get the best of You. rather, innovative thinking and personal development should do.

Work hard but work even harder on yourself.

Create your own quite time for thinking, self evaluation that leads to productive action.
