Have you ever heard of the saying ‘hard life now for an easy life later on or an easy life now for a hard life later’? Join John Paul today as he shares his thoughts on the topic and why working hard now will ensure you have an easier life later on. He discusses why taking the easy option will make your life difficult in the long run, why continuously taking the easy way out will result in compounding problems and why it is important to get better at confronting your problems. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• We sometimes choose to take the easy option, but all that is going to do is make life more difficult down the line. 
• Not dealing with a problem can compound. Accepting mistakes is compounding the inevitable backlog and upset that will come as a result of ignoring things. 
• Instead of having one disgruntled customer, you are going to end up with five or six because the same problem doesn't get tackled and so it will just roll over onto the next client. 
• It is not easy to get better at confrontation and learn how to tell people the cold hard facts. You may want to go for the easier option, but all you are doing is making it harder down the line. 
• Work hard to put in systems and procedures within your business so that you can have an easier life later on. Facing things head-on will save you a lot of grief in the long run. 

BEST MOMENTS 

“When you don’t deal with these things straight away, it slowly gets worse.”

“You’re treating yourself to an easy life just now, and a hard one later.”

“They just need to get to grips with doing those difficult things.”

ABOUT THE HOST

John Paul Reilly A dyslexic businessman who left school just before his 16th birthday. Barely able to read and write, to the point that at exam time one of the teachers had to read the questions out to him (and then write down his answers in every exam). Written off like most kids who struggled at school and being told by his woodwork teacher he “was nothing and would amount to nothing” he now runs a multi-award-winning company in the construction industry. He was a loud but shy person who knew he wanted to achieve great things with no clue what business he wanted to do but knew that’s what he wanted. With his first business started at age 14, he has learned most things the hard way. Now the owner of multiple businesses with one being multi-award-winning, John Paul has been in business for many years sharing what he has learned over this time mainly the hard way.
