The Compounding Value Of Focus

from The Andrew Faris Podcast · host Andrew Faris

A few months ago I started making a series of changes in my business. I cut work that I was good at, but not great at. I began building processes to outsource tasks that others good do just as competently as I could. And I eliminated almost the entirety of my "hourly consulting" business. The result? I'm wrapping up Q3 and heading into Q4 with the most profitable, most energizing, least anxiety-producing version of my business I've had yet. The whole thing has served as yet another reminder to me of a truth I've learned before, but find myself having to keep relearning: insofar as you're able, focus on the highest value parts of your work. Doing so pays massive dividends both financially and for quality of life. SUBSCRIBE ON YOUTUBE The Andrew Faris Podcast is now available on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ at www.youtube.com/@andrewfarispodcast.
