How Being Busy Keeps You Poor
Here's something you might not realize about being busy:
It's probably draining your profits.
Let me explain:
Most entrepreneurs pride themselves on being busy:
Jumping from task to task
Putting out fires all day
Constantly replying to messages and emails
But here's the reality:
Busy doesn't equal productive.
Think about it:
You're wasting mental energy on low-value tasks
You're not focusing deeply on what actually scales your business
You're confusing motion with progress
The fix?
Prioritize aggressively by asking yourself one simple question:
“Does this directly generate revenue or significantly move the needle on growth?”
If not, delegate, automate, or eliminate immediately.
Remember: 20% of your work delivers 80% of your results.
Cheers,
