Ep #2: Saying No to Busy

One of the reasons many of us choose to go into business for ourselves is to have more time for the things that matter, right? We want to be able to make our own schedule, spend time with our families, take care of ourselves and enjoy the fruits of our labor. But how many of us actually take the time to slow down and do any of those things?

That’s because you probably haven’t learned how to say no to busy. Working hard in our business consumes our focus and feeds the beliefs that many of us have about what it takes to create abundant wealth. But I’m here to tell you that if busyness equaled wealth, there would be a lot more people experiencing financial freedom than there are!

On today’s episode, we’re going to dig into why we have a hard time saying no to busy, what we’ve made busy mean as a society, and how to shift from wearing busy as a badge of honor to defining your own rules for success. Before we can start adding in the good stuff, we have to make room for it. Let’s get started!
