Ep #96: Why Your To-Do List is Killing Your Business

Why Your To-Do List is Killing Your Business

I’ve spent years telling everyone in my circle and even here on the podcast with you that I do a lot more work day-to-day than most people, and I used to pride myself on my ‘busyness’… until I realized it wasn’t something to be proud of. I had a major a-ha moment recently about working hard and why it doesn’t necessarily lead to success if you’re working on the stuff that doesn’t move the needle, and I’m sharing this epiphany with you today.

If you’re wondering why you’ve been working tirelessly but you’re still not hitting the goals you set in your business, this episode might just be what you need to hear. I’m sharing the different traits between employee mindset versus CEO mindset to help you identify if you might be staying in employee mindset and burning yourself out, and why doing these tasks could be affecting your bottom line.

Join me this week to discover how you might be preventing yourself from creating the big shifts you want to see in your business. We’ve been taught to glorify being busy, but I know that what I’ve learned about the illusion of hard work will motivate you to take a closer look at your beliefs around productivity and success.

If you want to keep this conversation going, you have to join my free Design You Podcast community on Facebook. We have great conversations over there about the podcast episodes and our podcast guests are in there too! So head on over and I’ll see you there!
