I decided to do this episode based on a master class that I taught last year and actually, it’s a topic that comes up all the time, whether I’m starting to work with somebody, it’s our first meeting or, people fall back into the habit and it’s just something that happens. But it’s all about the question that I get asked or the misbelief that people have, the common misconception is, do I need to just work longer hours and work harder in order to make my business successful? Do I need to just put more hours in and just really, just grind it, in order to grow my business. And the answer that we’re going to be talking about is absolutely 100% no.

And a lot of people think this and it’s so funny because I used to think this. People think that they’re going to be successful if they just put their head down and work longer days and they can’t figure out why they keep falling flat. They keep falling flat and in fact, they’re tired, they’re exhausted, they can’t hire good people. They’re so unfocused, they’re so distracted and they can’t figure out why.

Because here’s the deal. If you’re feeling like this and you’re just putting more hours in you just add more stress. When you work harder and you work longer hours, you just keep doing more and more and more and more and more. And then that’s when a lot of people think we just need to add more and more and more and more and more into our business.

But wouldn’t it be great to feel productive at the end of the day and create momentum in your business, and have more time, and energy, and focus, to really work on the things that you really need to work on to grow your business? Like wouldn’t that all be awesome?

This is exactly what we’re talking about in this episode. You’ll learn all about why working “harder and longer” doesn’t bring growth and actually does the opposite. I’ll also give you some tips on how to get more done in a day and be productive.
