Work Comes First

The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you’re willing to pay the price. – Vince Lombardi

Despite what you may have heard, you must do the work to have the reward.

But the cool thing is that if you work hard, and smart, enough, there’s precious little you can’t accomplish.

Oh, and another thing, there’s no such thing as “Free Shipping,”* either you’re paying more for the item or the retailer is making less.

* Or “free” anything . . . everything has a cost.
