Working hard means living below one's means & paying yourself 1st. Not busting one's ass for the Man. It means not spending $$$ one doesn't have, on stuff one doesn't need, to impress people one doesn't like. It means doing without in order to do with later. It means self-discipline.

I admire Mr. Cuban...totally self-made, good family man, suffered for years with poor health & no whining.

If you want to be really rich today,

Be born in to a rich family

Marry in to a rich family

or most commonly steal everything they have from a rich but stupid family, all of their friends and relatives and then claim you never met them.
