#525: Be honest: Are you on the Hamster wheel? - Tash Corbin, Heart-Centred Business Podcast

from Heart-Centred Business Podcast with Tash Corbin · host Tash Corbin - Business Mentor

Full article and show notes available at: tashcorbin.com/525Now more than ever, when I ask people how they are, the one answer I keep hearing is, “I’m busy.” There’s too much to do, not enough time, and this year is getting away from so many of us. But here’s the thing—not every job or task is created equal. If you’re caught up in busyness that’s not actually moving you forward, you’re on a treadmill. You’re on the hamster wheel.And today on the Heart-Centred Business Podcast, I’m getting really honest about what it looks like to be stuck on that wheel, how you can tell if you’re doing it, and—most importantly—what you can do about it.What Does Being “Busy” Really Mean Anyway?Let’s talk about all the “busy” work we end up doing as business owners.

It can be genuinely tricky to know if what you’re doing is helping or if you’re just running on the spot.So, how can you tell if all those busy days and weeks are actually taking you somewhere, or if you’re just spinning your wheels?For me, it comes down to results—especially income. That doesn’t mean my results or income have to be going up all the time, but I’m always keeping an eye on one big thing: am I getting closer to my vision for the life and business I want? Progress for me isn’t measured by effort or how busy I look. It’s about real results. Are things actually improving? Are my actions making a difference? Or would these results have happened even if I’d done nothing? You’ve got to stop regularly and take stock, not just coast along....read the full article at: tashcorbin.com/525Let me know your thoughts via our Text FanMail!Join us in Noosa at the Heart-Centred Business Conference in September!Find out more and secure your ticket at: tashcorbin.com/conference
