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,
