Note from the author:

A formative activity based on S.W.E.A.T. (Skills & Work Ethic Aren't Taboo) Pledge #1 from mikeroweworks.org.

Instructions

We're talking about work ethic.
And we're walking the walk.
We believe hard work, determination, and respect for others are always in demand, and these principles can form the basis of a new kind of curriculum that helps bolster the American workforce.
As a result, we've created the MRW Work Ethic Certification, a curriculum that focuses on the 12 statements of the S.W.E.A.T. Pledge. Through this program, we break down the origin of each statement in 12 lessons and examine why we believe every student and worker can benefit from embracing this pledge, regardless of their job or skillset.

We're bringing The S.W.E.A.T. Pledge to life.
Say what?
Well, not literally. Each statement of The S.W.E.A.T. Pledge has a story, and each story comes from Mike's personal experience working with entrepreneurs and hardworking people across the country. Through these 12 videos, we explore each statement of The S.W.E.A.T. Pledge and the importance of four pillars— work ethic, personal responsibility, delayed gratification, and a positive attitude.
