Productivity Isn't About Doing More (It's About What You Stop Doing)

Most people think being productive means doing more, working faster, or squeezing in one more task. That's not how we do it.In this episode, I sit down with Liz to break down the exact system behind running two businesses, growing to 113,000 social media followers, and raising two kids under 5 at the same time.This isn't theory. These are the exact hires we made, the things we stopped doing, and the mindset shifts that made all of it possible.We break down:Why productivity is a subtraction game, not an addition game, and the sculptor analogy that reframed how we think about our timeHow we built a team of 17 people across 5 continents we have never met face to face, and why the distance stopped matteringThe domestic hires that eliminated most of our relationship friction: cleaners, grocery delivery, and the postpartum nanny that changed Liz's recovery after our first kidWhy letting go of control is not about lowering your standards, and how KPIs tell you everything you actually need to knowThe one rule we never break as business partners and spouses, and why violating it makes you both look badHow buying back our time at home made us more present parents to Athena and JacksonThe bottom line: If you're still doing everything yourself, you're not being productive. You're just busy.LEARN MY STR INVESTING & STRATEGIES 🔥 https://strlikethebest.com/wealthpodApply to work with Michael: https://strlikethebest.com/applypodFollow Michael on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelchangbnbTrack your STR hours the right way.
