Wanna Grow Faster? Ditch This One Bad Habit…
Let’s get real for a second—are you grinding day in and day out, feeling like you’re spinning your wheels? You’ve got your routines, you’ve tried the hacks, but your business, your life, your results? They’re not moving. And here’s the kicker: it’s not because you’re not working hard enough. Nope.
It’s because you’re focusing on the wrong stuff.
Stop Obsessing Over Hacks and Tools
We’ve all been there. Downloading the latest app that promises to organize your life, or watching productivity videos that tell you to wake up at 4 AM and journal for two hours before the sun rises. I get it. It’s tempting to think the next hack is going to change the game. But here’s the truth—it won’t.
Why? Because those systems, those routines, they aren’t the main thing that’s going to move the needle in your business. They're helpful, but they aren’t the foundation. You can have the best color-coded calendar in the world, but if you’re not working on what really matters, none of that will make a difference.
Focus on What Actually Brings Results
Let me ask you—are you measuring your day by how many things you checked off your to-do list, or by the results you created?
Because there’s a massive difference between being busy and being productive. Busy is answering emails all day. Busy is tweaking your website for the 10th time this month. But productive? That’s closing deals, creating new opportunities, building relationships that lead to future wins.
Your time is the most valuable asset you have. If you’re filling it with busywork, then yeah, you’ll feel like you’re doing something, but the results won’t show. On the flip side, if you’re laser-focused on what actually drives growth—like generating revenue, solving real problems, or scaling your team—you’ll see the difference.
Why Results Matter More Than How
Look, I’m not saying systems don’t matter. They do. But they’re a tool, not the goal. You want to know what the most successful people I’ve met have in common? They focus on outcomes, not the method. They don’t get bogged down by the perfect process; they get obsessed with results.
I remember early in my career, I used to think that if I could just figure out the “right” way to do things, everything would fall into place. I wasted time tweaking systems instead of working on closing deals or building my network. Guess what? Nothing moved.
But when I shifted my focus to what mattered—building relationships, improving the quality of my offers, and solving problems—the results started rolling in. And guess what? The systems naturally fell into place after that.
How to Shift Your Focus Today
Here’s what I want you to do. Stop focusing on how many hours you’re working or how many tasks you can squeeze into the day. Instead, start asking yourself: “What can I do today that will make the biggest impact on my business?”
It’s a simple shift, but it’s powerful. When you get clear on the one or two things that actually bring in revenue, create new opportunities, or solve key problems, your day gets easier. Your focus gets sharper. And the results? They multiply.
The Power of Delegation
Another thing I see holding people back is the mindset that they have to do everything themselves. I’m here to tell you—you can’t. If you want to scale your business, you need to start duplicating yourself.
Build a team that you can trust to handle the daily grind, so you can focus on the bigger picture. Don’t get caught in the weeds of managing every little detail. If you’re doing work that someone else could easily handle, you’re holding yourself back.
Hire people you trust. Train them well. And then—let them do their jobs. This will free you up to spend more time on what’s really going to grow your business.
So, What’s Next?
If you’re feeling stuck, it’s time to get real with yourself. Look at your day and ask—am I focusing on results or just being busy? Am I building something that will grow, or am I just managing what I already have?
Stop chasing the latest hacks or tools and start chasing real results. Your future self will thank you.
