Listen Later

Episode Summary

In this week's episode, I talk about finding the balance between a strong work ethic and effective time management.My grandpa used to always say "I'd rather wear out than rust out" and I dive into how some of the lessons passed down through generations, shape our mindsets around the values of hard work.

A few key points from this week's episode:

  • Work Ethic in Perspective: A strong work ethic can lead to productivity and success, but it can also result in burnout or neglect of family and personal priorities.
  • Evaluating Time Investment: It's essential to assess the return on time for each task. Are you investing your hours into activities that align with your long-term goals?
  • Working In vs. On Your Business: Use slower seasons to work on your business—strategizing, planning, and improving operations—rather than simply filling time with low-value tasks.
  • Opportunity Cost Matters: Time is a finite resource. Consider whether the time spent on certain tasks could be better used elsewhere.
