289 - Are you being a turkey?


Listen Later

I'm sure you're not but a recent encounter with a brush turkey when I was walking my dogs prompted me to prompt you to make sure you don't act like one.The turkey has built a nest near the path & chased us away, flinging dirt at us to deter us from getting to close to the nest. It's not very effective as a deterrent—we didn't care.I notice lots of tradies spend time on stuff in their business that's similarly ineffective.If your goal is to build a healthy profitable business & you're still spending lots of time on things like:being on the toolsdoing your own bookkeepingrunning errandsthen you’re acting like our turkey—you’re being busy doing stuff that’s not helping you achieve your goal.You run a business now, you’re not just a tradie any more. The work that got you this far won’t help you build that beautiful, profitable business you want.You need to put more of your energy into things like:finding & winning work for your team to domaking sure you win it profitablymaking sure they’re set up to do it profitably.Don't crowd out this work with ineffective busy-work.If you want my help, let me know.--------------------------------------If you want more money (profit), more time (off work), and more freedom (from work, stress, responsibility) Book a Money Call: smallfish.com.au/chatFOLLOW US AT:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/smallfishcoach/Twitter: https://twitter.com/smallfishcoachInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/smallfishbusinesscoach/YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/smallfishau
