1. The word PROGRESS is used as different parts of speech. The first is a noun, the second, a verb.
2. They are pronounced differently, with the accent on the first syllable on the noun and vice vera on the verb.
3. And of course the sentences mean different things and the connotation is different. The first is flat-out negative. The second conveys the same meaning but in a positive sense. The first is discouraging, the second encouraging.

"You have made absolutley no PROGRESS."
First, "progress" is used as a noun.
Then, you spelled ABSOLUTELY wrong.
Lastly, progress is pronounced: 'präg-rÉs.
"If you want to PROGRESS, you'll have to work harder"
First, progress is used as an infinitive with "to"
Then, why is there no period at the end of a declarative sentence?
Lastly, progress is pronounced: prÉ-'gres.

I assume you mean is there is a difference between how the word "progress" is used in each sentence, as there are numerous differences between the sentences (such as meaning, tone, structure, etc.).
In the first sentence, progress (pronounced PRAW-gress) is a noun. It names a thing or idea--the concept of moving forward.
In the second sentence, progress (pronounced proh-GRESS) is a verb. It shows the action of moving forward.

Yes. The first one is more direct and to the point, the second is weak and will probably get no results. The word want waters it down.
