About this episode
Being busy and productive are not the same thing, and they don't always translate into growth. In today's episode we explore 8 things that you might be busily doing in your business that don't actually move the needle or make you more productive.
- The curse of perfectionism and how it's holding you back.
- When over-planning feels safe and comfortable, but not necessarily productive.
- Why taking action steps leads to clarity and confidence (not the other way around).
- How overcomplicating tasks can cause overwhelm and stagnation.
- The art of saying 'no'! Ask yourself: 'Would I say yes to this if it were tomorrow?'.
- How failing to identify your focus point leads to 'shiny object syndrome'.
- Why distracting yourself by over-consuming content (and doing too much research!) is one of the biggest time and energy wasters.
