There are a lot of people out there who have achieved financial freedom i.e. they no longer have to work or have to work only a few hours per week and have enough money to do whatever they want. However, each and everyone of these individuals has worked extremely hard to get there and this for 5, 10 maybe 20 years or more.

Don't get too down by other people's advice, here or IRL. Remember, their advice and what they know to be true is filtered through their own life experiences. Some people have found in their life that the only time they make money is when they work very hard.
But the truth is, working hard is not a requirement to making money, especially if you re-think your definition of hard work. See, if you love your work, it's not work anymore. It's play!
You do have to take some action, and you really have to provide value that others are willing to pay for, but it doesn't have to be hard.
