Busy Fool or Busy Achiever
Let's start with a quote
"Don't mistake movement for achievement. It's easy to get faked out by being busy. The question is. Busy doing what ? " Jim Rohn
Ever met someone and every time you asked them how they were, first word they said was "busy "
But busy doing what. Busy for the sake of being busy or busy trying to achieve a goal. This is probably one the toughest self-analysis questions you as a business owner can ask yourself.
Some people have no clue where they are going or what they want to achieve,so they stay busy. Rushing around,tablet in hand,phone to ear,checking updates. But in reality achieving nothing. Anyone can run around making themselves look busy. You probably work with or have someone working for you, who styles themselves as " BUSY ".
Productive busy does not mean running around like a headless chicken. Productive busy is when you sit down and take pride in what you have achieved that day. If you cannot write down or tell someone what you have achieved on any given day, maybe, just maybe it was a day when the busy fool took over.
The busy fool lurks in all of us. It loves to skip doing anything worthwhile. It loves to float around aimlessly and appear busy. You must resist the temptation to be like this. You must hold yourself to the standard of being proud to tell one and all, including yourself. what you have achieved that day,this week,this month.
By holding yourself accountable and claiming yourself as an achiever as opposed to a busy fool,you are moving forward. Getting ahead,not standing still,not going backwards, is where you need to be.
Right now,ask yourself if what you are doing is going to advance you or your company. If not. Why are you doing it ?
To your continued success,
