Getting to my typewriter is something I push myself to, but once I am working, I work hard.

What I am suggesting is hard work and it can be slow work, but the rewards are well worth it.

I learned the value of hard work by working hard.

I go into meetings, and people have this preconceived notion of me that I didn't work hard to get where I am.

I work hard and support myself.

Interestingly, people often boast that they are hard workers not understanding that hardworking means spending a lot of time and energy on work.
