Three woodcutters were engaged to cut trees within five days. The owner of the block decided to allocate each woodcutter a separate piece of land. The landlord agreed to pay them based on number of trees they cut.
The first woodcutter worked harder than the other two and earned very little. The second woodcutter took breaks and made reasonably well. The third woodcutter gained a lot of money and finished the job in two days.
You may be wondering how did that happen?
The first woodcutter was highly operational throughout the five days.
The second woodcutter took breaks and sharpened his axe. He was working on the business during operations.
The third woodcutter bought a battery-powered circular saw from the money he earned on the first day. So, he invested on the business.
We generally have a choice, but operational work keeps us too busy and ineffective.
