I don't know where laziness might come from - simply because I don't believe in laziness. You do not have to work 14 hours a day to succeed (although I admit that you might succeed faster if you do 14 hours of very focused and goal-oriented work), but you have to take action consistently.

I believe that 2 hours of smart work can be more productive than 14 hours of reacting to outer circumstances. I currently work at most 2 hours a day on my business, growing it consistently every day.

This is widely known as the 80-20-principle or Pareto-principle, and here's an article I wrote: 4 Steps To Apply The 80-20-Principle To Your Life | TobiasZimpel.com
