It's not about how much you work exclusively. It's a lot about timing, connections, who you meet, capitalizing on an opportunity and maximizing it etc and success breeds more success.
making the right connection or the right timing is work as well :)
@@mildabonapart "making the right timing" huh? Not really...you dont make timing, and connections arent based on hard work...hard work can often lead to connections but it's not a necessary condition.
amnahsince87 yes they are. The most obvious example - free internships. You not only get expirience but connections as well. And exponentionally your connection become better. About the timing - yes there is a luck factor. But you can always choose to go to specific events, thus getting a better chance to be on “right time right place”. Just do your homework and know what do you need to reach a specific goal.
@@mildabonapart I think we can just agree to disagree actually. I've gotten opportunities by going to a work dinner with someone who was in a position to raise my position, yes it worked, but that's not what I consider hard work or working harder than others. There are plenty of ppl that work super hard and dont achieve insane levels of success. And successful ppl shouldn't invalidate that by acting like they "worked even harder."
amnahsince87 yes gurl yes
You gotta give her props for still continuing to thrive in one of the most sexist, racist and ageist industry ever!
Shes white so what does that have to do in being a racist world. She has white privilege.
She also stole her way to the top with that white privilege
Ashante Hernández Hello! She’s Puerto Rican! Not exactly white Anglo-Saxon! She grew up in the Bronx, hardly white privilege… Get the chip off your shoulder.
That's one way to put it 🤔😌
she must be a wild psychotic beast... like a mental illness
JLo is a true inspiration. She's built this incredible career while people were always doubting her, underestimating her talents.
really? she used ghost singers her entire career and didnt sing on the majority of her songs. look it up. she's a villi manilli, except she was successful at the lie. it's only now that it has all come out.
@@sydandtaytum well there u go baby, proving the point
sydandtaytum first of all her career didn't even started from singing..singing came along the way just because she was already HUGE! and second of all she didn't use ghost singers..she used background vocals!so what? who hasn't? ..get your facts straight
@@nickt.8507 people love to hate on JLo and believe every bad thing they hear right off the bat... She is amazingly talented and that´s a fact
I like your comment, and she built a career. But the music she makes it's no special one, like any pop dance music. Making a big Big booty video ain't a big talent hehe. But she is a talented dancer and she sure kept on always going. She has movies too, now "hustlers" will come out. She's trying, she definitely is and she succeeds. I just don't think it is incredible, it is good.
Nah bruh. That’s toxic. I ain’t sleeping 2-3 hours a night and risking my health to be “working harder than everyone else”
This comment made me chuckle because you’re so right.
I think she said it as an example or as a methapor tho
Harder doesn’t only mean you sleep less. It’s so much more. It takes a lot of passion and optimism and grit. A lot of people can work hard and get nowhere.
@movingonandup773 she said when people are sleeping, she is working....hence, why one would get the impression she sleeps very little. However, in the past, she's said numerous times that she sleeps 8 hours a night. I think she just means, she doesn't have a 9-5 mentality.
...and doesn't she have enough money to care for her entire family
#1 reason why she ruling hollywood from last 30years n always come back wit a bang when ppl think she disappeared. She super passionate n works in organized way
Whilst I admire her hardwork and dedication, i don’t like when these supposed ‘hardworkers’ make it seem like if you sleep, or go out for drinks or have some sort of social life, or even me time lazing on the couch, that is considered lazy and not ‘hardworking’. You don’t need to sleep 2-3 hours a day to claim that you are ‘hardworking’. I know many people who only can sleep 2-3 hours a day because they are actually working hard and trying to make a living yet they reach nothing and are still struggling and believe me they work their asses of. And i also know people who sleep 12 hours a day yet they are still successful. I love jlo but its very easy for her to say all this when she has 24/7 full time help the second she asks for it and no doubt those workers are more hardworking than she is... but we dont see that behind the scenes
She's also lying - she doesn't sleep two hours a night.
You missed the entire point of her interview. She wasn't a Nepo baby that was born with money and fame. Her mom kicked her out at 16 and she was homeless. She got herself out of that situation on her own. She had to fight tooth and nail to get the level of success. White men in Hollywood get to do and act however they want because the world allows them to. Meanwhile Jennifer had degrading questions from many many reporters over the years. It has always been a different set of standards for men than women. Her level of success was achieved because she put in the work. It wasn't handed to her. You're talking about people in different circumstances so different results.
A relentless pursuit of creativity! Love it!
“When everybody’s sleeping I’m doing more” never sleep on SlayLo
Mariah Carey sleeps 3 hours/night, just saying.
* C H R I S T E R * because she sniffs cocaine mate
@@Gabrielswe100 Mariah Carey is bipolar, when you're in maniac mode, you don"t sleep too much
@@Gabrielswe100 Only lambs would believe that. Don't be so dense. She wouldn't look the way she does with 3hrs of sleep.
2:52 is everything.
"Little by little you start asserting your power. You don't have to do it in a brash, ugly, loud way. Just in being the person who makes the money for people.. who helps other people be successful." In other words, recognizing and using your power in a classy way. Us women tend to be afraid of being called a bossy bitch and we apologize too damn much for everything.
I think women fall for the stereotype that powerful men are a-holes so they overcompensate and become divas & act obnoxious themselves because “thats how powerful men act”
She clearly works on her arms when everyone is sleeping.
This look is strange.
😆
I could work harder and maybe if I am lucky I could be "successful", but I choose to take naps and have a personal life. I admire her for all the things she has done, but can we stop making people feel bad for not working every minute of the day? Besides how do we count success? Does money and fame make people successful? Because if so, why so many famous people have taken their own lives? I would rather work to live than live to work.
It's a very American concept to work and work til you can't no more. The city where I'm from even says beneath it's City banner when you arrive, "The City That Works" and they mean it.
Where did she make people feel bad for not working every minute? she is talking about HER work ethic, what got her where she is. If you feel bad because you can't do what she does, that's your decission.
Dont admire her she got a free ride because of her looks. She has Ashanti and Christina Milian vocals on her album. She has never written a song on her album.
Well said!! Also, I think when you're at the top hard work really does pay off, unlike when you're at the bottom and you can get laid off in a minute after decades of working your butt off. Who wants to work hard just to barely make rent and end up with nothing?
Omg she is gorg! 😍Jennifer is too stunning for this world she is such a goddess
She is definitely NOT stunning. She's actually not pretty and quite homely looking
She looks like a maid when she audition in living colors, money can do wonders to you
I love how those successful people think that working harder than anybody else is what makes you successful, pretty laughable. It's obviously a lot more complex than that.
not to mention she literally stole songs from other artists and used ghost singers. she herself didnt sing most of her hit songs, including the very first one 'if you had my love'. she got away with it because tommy mattola had a vendetta against his ex-wife mariah carey and was pushing hard for j.lo to compete with mariah despite the fact that she cant carry a tune. that's why mariah hates her.
@Lavender Lady it's just an old tale people like to use to hate on JLo because back then she was more influential than Mariah and so the record label would give her songs that Mariah wanted for herself, same with other artists, but truth is you won't find one lawsuit against JLo for "stealing" music because it just didn't happen. However, there were actual lawsuits in multiple occasions against Mariah for stealing songs from other writers, 100% verifiable, just type Mariah Carey lawsuit plagiarism and you'll find it... Quite ironic if you ask me since Mariah fans love to say JLo stole music yet Mariah is the one who was sued lol
@@sydandtaytum that's just an old rumour that haters back in the day used to spin around on but if you really look it up there's no solid proof or lawsuit bc it didnt happen. Just move on :) Jennifer's doing far better now and what you see is literally what she is in real life- a lot of people can attest to that! :)
@@sydandtaytum Mariah cant either now. Nye Times square. 😂 Mariah is 20 years ago.
modern europa I mean if you become successful just being on your couch doing nothing, well I will take that! But unfortunately it is the truth. Yes you need a little of luck sometimes but you definitely need to work harder. She started from nothing. She wasn’t born rich. You have to work hard and also push the luck to be more successful. If you want to sing better or dance better than anybody else well you gotta work harder too. Unless it’s too easy to do nothing, stay in your comfort zone and complain nothing will changes ✌🏻
JLo is so inspiring & motivating. She has broken barriers, ceilings, & more. She has been able to build her own empire despite the challanges women & latinas have in the world. I admire her & wish to achieve becoming 1/2 the woman she is. The world needs more women like her.
OMG you guys seriously? why do you take everything so literally. Don't you see hidden meaning?
Saying "when everybody is sleeping I’m doing more" does not mean that she is working nights and nights when we are sleeping. Might be why not, but the real thing is that she is not missing any daily goals/tasks that have to be done, she is pushing hard like a warrior no matter what, whilst many of us doing nothing, are lazy, not present, not focused, not disciplined, not determined which = "you are sleeping".
We can sleep 8h like her but waste another 5 during the day "sleeping" and being awake at the same time.
Sleeping means that you are wasting time. I am sure she means that.
People who are working hard and counting every single second would understand what she means straight away, because they know the effort and pain, so think twice before you call her liar.
And You are welcome ;)
Well said
@@kizoid ❣
Shes so friggin cool!! I love her. And shes stunning😯
She’s a real icon. She inspires me everyday
"I do baseball metaphors now" how cute is that ? Lol she is truly in love isnt she :) God bless her soul
Muna Ahmed She’s truly in love every couple of years.
Good connections and sleeping with the right people. That's how you become famous :)
Some people work 12 hours shifts and barely sleep, get paid below the minimum wage. Do you see them as successful people?
America is a big dreams seller!
Is all a fantasy really. Making people believe that they're just "embarrassed millionaires " waiting for their chance to hit it big...
Omg this an other level of being arrogant...😒😒😒😒pleaseeeeee....😂😂😂
I guess I had bad connections and slept w/ the wrong people then. She has been damn lucky, this latina braud from the bronx. I worked for the State of La. Dept of Labor and Dept of Education, 30 years total, all low level secretarial / administrative assistant jobs, didn't get paid much, worked overtime which I never got paid for and never got any Social Security except for the last 4 years I worked for the State. That's why I am now working part-time at a mexican restaurant in Central Texas, as a dishwasher, another low level job, to gain those additional medicare quarters that I didn't get from the State of La.. Since I now live in a small town 50 miles southwest of Dallas, as of March, 2016. I am 63 years old and single, by the way, never married, too.
I can tell a total imbecile piece of trash like you wouldn't know success if someone set you on fire or beat you with your own clump of crap. Good to know you're jealous, ignorant, and dumb!
what goal are they working towards? with what passion? the only thing I hear is excuses upon excuses and that explains the mentality and the situation you have, learning is working, looking for ways to be smarter is working, making connections is working, if u work a 9-5 with no goal, or no pursuit of a bigger title, and just magically wait for it to happen, then keep doing it, let's see how far u get. so much jealousy it's incredible
Why your own hard work has to be talked about by degrading others' hard work? As if other artists and people don't work hard? what culture of empowerment is this?
Kanika Tyagi I looooovvvee jlo. But I thought the same thing!!!
Yeah she wants to toot her own horn & claim that it’s all through hard work, but the fact remains that most people do work hard & hard work isn’t some special attribute that makes someone special & more deserving, it’s the very bare minimum that everyone has to do just to survive...I like her but she is full of shit to the brim
I know right. Get over yourself, Jenny.
Shes a Leo and has the same bday as my friend. Love to gloat a lot
Because she is looking down on everyone else, that's why.
I love this woman Thank you for motivating me.
I would rather said that not working harder, but smarter than everybody else is the way to success :-) Harder, often burns you out ewentually . And love what yiu do, or at least enjoy it :-)
Kinda disrespectful way of putting it. There are "normal" people out there working 3 jobs to barely get by. Working physically and mentally draining jobs for 70 hours a week and they're not millionaires.
Work smarter and harder. Honestly I have worked 70 hour weeks and it is habitual , success is based off few factors. Getting enough sleep, being on time, etc. Now I am making a small business and can honestly say it is much harder because there is no mold to fit into. Success is measured solely off how I allocate my time and that is more pressure than punching the clock, which I’m still doing as well.
Jlo too lie and wicked. She love psychic before she does anything she go to psychic. She got a free ride due to looks. She has Christina Milian and Ashanti vocals on her album those women wrote songs and they were given to jlo by music execs. She has never written a song on her album.
so much respect for her
She makes me wanna train..I love her confidence and beauty
Dr. John DeMartini said during a dinner he had with an executive of a company, that the executive of that company noticed that the people who were nobel peace prize winners, who really made an impact and difference in the world were the people who truly did work harder than anyone else in the room. Usually most people can't wait to leave work at 5, get a lunch break, or a break from work in general, but then there are those that don't care about those things - that only take the break to fuel themselves longer because they're committed and truly motivated to accomplish certain goals, who stay later than 5, etc. Sometimes the things we desire most are placed out of reach so we can become the very people it takes in order to acquire them.
Great topic, thanks for sharing this. 🙏
"when everybody's sleeping i'm doing more" YES QUEEN!! honestly ive never seen jlo on vacation for long periods of time. she's always busy doing and planning so many projects that us jlovers are caught offguard with the new stuff she promotes lol
Kelly Hady why she works that hard for money right? She is busy shaking her ass too hard for money
@@mmoalla30 she does whatever the fuck she wants who are you to question her ways, u seem sad bruh
Love her so much... she is an inspiration, a queen, a goddess that is loving and kind is an understatement... SHE IS EVERYTHING, LIMITLESS! Love you Jennifer!!
Jlo: "work harder than everyone else"
Also jlo: steals songs and the vocals from other peoples demos
Omgosh I was also literally thinking the same thing.
Plus her vocals aren't even that great. Atleast she should work hard and improve her vocals if she is a professional singer.
Yes hun!
😂😂😂😂😂true...she is so arrogant and delusional...well still no Oscar. ....😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣or Grammy...omg
@@dinasilva9263 well she's worth 400 million so fuck Grammy 😅
Actually no. Her first albums her manager made her use backup vocals but through the years she's gotten a lot better. Her CAUM Love? AKA album mostly have her vocals.
She doesn't like recording backup vocals. Even in CAUM Marc Anthony did some background work. There's nothing wrong with it.
She's a great dancer. And she can sing well.
She came from the hood and made it. That's talent.
This woman is a LEGEND, a divine woman! Goals AF
You only see the bad detalle becouse that is what you have inside. Very sad.
h d a fraud. Can’t sing or act
"The relentless pursuit of creativity." - Jennifer Lopez... YES. YES. YES. 👏👏👏👏👏 said very eloquently by a Leo.
She is great, used to be great and will be great forever
What a humble and inspirational lady.
If I was her kid, I would be like "yeah well maybe I won't work as hard and wait for the inheritance". Work smarter, not harder.
Couldn't help but 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
But you stole other women's vocals as your own in your music.
If Ashanti isn't mad about it why are you? that was 20 years ago, get over it! Also - other artists have done it (Why not call them out too) You're focusing on one questionable decision which could have been her management team or the producer, considering how young of an artist she was..instead of looking at ALL of the right ones she's made. HATER.
Tatiana Rojas Exactly!
True
Tatiana Rojas omg, why do you even care for about her opinion. Obviously it’s not the same as yours but who cares? Let people have different opinions, just because it’s doesn’t coincides with yours doesn’t mean their haters.
Hey, so who’s vocals did she steal? 😲
Happy that no one is snubbing this beauty
People are mastering how to revere
Always INSPIRING 👑
People want to think because she doesn't do everything for herself in her career she doesn't work hard. She gets exactly what needs to be done accomplished, either on her own or by finding people to support her or handle pieces of it for her, and you really can't fault her for that. If she didn't have all the support of these other people that make it all come together she wouldn't be where she is, but it starts with her and is up to her to see that everything is managed she's only one person; and I do believe she is the hardest worker, more than Beyonce, Lady Gaga, or any other artists, performers, et al known for their persistence and dedication
it's great to see how at ease she has become and how open and outgoing she is now
Love how j Lo keeps working hard
Great interview!!! Amazing one of a kind woman!!!!!
Incredible Woman who immensely inspires us for years ... 👍🏼❤️🍾🎉 another trailblazer in her field ... ☯️
Love her she's so down to earth n hardworking
Love, love, love Ms. Lopez and I'm really digging that jumpsuit. Pure class.
You go girl!!! Ive been a fan since you came out "If you had my love", you deserve all the blessings coming your way! You work so hard and deserve everybit and more... Im truly inspired! 😘😘With hard work, perseverance, and God anything is possible!
This is the type of video I enjoy watching, more interviews with Jlo please about her carrier
Jlo is an inspiration. I love her so much.
Great interview!
0:02 - she stole basically all the hits she has
I think it help that her beauty got her notice, but her work & intelligence keeps her relevant in the entertainment business
Strangely, I am starting to be put off by this "work harder, never sleep" mentality. I mean, it obviously works, but it just seems like a stale, outdated and materialistic idea to perpetuate. I cannot even argue my point ... it's just a feeling that that lifestyle, glitz and glamour is not worth stressing so much for. Then I'd rather be a smaller artist with a devoted fanbase and have time to chill like a regular person. Ya feel? 🤷🏽♀️
I feel you one hundred percent.
And don‘t believe everything they say. She told every interviewer some years ago that she always sleeps 8 hours a night. Which single parent can afford that? Also; how does she know she works harder than everybody else? Even harder than Beyoncé?? Impossible... A lot of self aggrandisement and materialism. There‘s more important things to life than sacrifiying everything to be rich (and famous) and beautiful and travel in private jets with their plastic up from Starbuck‘s.
@@TheSilkyChris they're all on thw same category to be honest.
Feel dat
Yes. The 50k/year musician who is stable in the business for decades, but unknown to the world, no mansions, no high profile connections... can have a good life too. Instead of celebrity parties time can be spend with family. Instead of award shows time can be invested in house and gardening works. At the end of your life there is no golden medal waiting at you. If you are happy with your own level, everything is good. If you are chasing fame, money, connections, opportunities just for the sake to impress others, that‘s not it.
She’s always on her grind, hustling, and her mind never sleeps, she is always thinking of ways to make money. Go J-lo!
What happened to work smarter, not harder?
Not all people look at it that way, honey. Its the culture we live in today unfortunately.
I believe her success has more to do with her relentlessly vision. Knowing she was going to get there, and putting in the work.
She’s such a Leo!
I really love JLo, but can she really attribute all of her success in the entertainment business to her work ethic? She's J Lo! She's super gorgeous and charismatic. These aren't traits everyone can have, no matter how hard they work and sleep they miss. Also, she has had assistants working for her for likely most of her career -- makeup team, personal assistants arranging appointments/purchases/trainers/skin specialists, etc. It's sad she didn't mention them here.
Total respect for her!
Love you Jennifer 💃💚
Such an incredible powerhouse 💚👏🏻
She is an inspiration 👍
I hope they campaign for Best Actress for the Oscars and wins!!Its time..not anyone just builds from nothing especially in this entertainment business!!!I have profound respect for her, she has really proven longevity.
She’s so inspiring
So nice to hear such an amazing woman so sweetly describing the daily little injustices I experience so often at work and in LIFE. Ha ha.
I AM WOMAN! Truly inspirational woman, human, mother...
She is so energetic and funny I just enjoyed watching her
Yess these are the type of questions we want ! tired of superficial questions about beauty hacks -_-
She thinks she’s the only one that works “harder.” Arrogant as hell.
You're calling her arrogant? She never said I'm the only one that works harder then everyone else. Tell me who has dropped 2 movies and an album at the same time. Tell me who in the history of entertainment has had a number one movie and a number one album in the same week? She did that no one else has. Sounds to me you have sour grapes it's called flat a$$ woman syndrome hater. 👋👋
i love her!!!
True inspiration 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Does anyone know where this outfit is from? Thank you.
I 💙 JLO
I gotta give it to her, she's really not all that talented but she's managed to get her way into a bunch of projects one way or another...
Dancing, acting, business expertise, fashionista, and etc is not talent!? GTFO on that! LMFAO!!! She got where she is because she is talented and intelligent. She is very savvy!
