Shiny Object Syndrome and Dull Distractions: How to Avoid the Trap


Listen Later

Feeling pulled in a million directions by bright new ideas while also battling the never-ending to-do list? You're not alone! This week on TUF Coffee Shop Talk, join host Rhonda Lavoie as we dive into the common struggles of Shiny Object Syndrome and Dull Distractions that can easily derail even the most focused entrepreneurs.

Learn practical strategies to identify what's truly worth your attention and what's just a time-suck. Rhonda shares her personal goal-based filter to help you make smarter decisions about where to invest your precious time and energy.

We'll also explore the illusion of the "Grass is Greener" and why chasing every new trend might not be the answer. Discover the power of setting boundaries and identifying your business's "non-negotiables" to stay on track. Plus, learn how to explore promising ideas without losing focus through "tiny steps" and develop a healthy skepticism for those "too good to be true" offers.
