Busyness has become a badge of honour in our society. We wear it like a cloak of prestige, thinking that if we're busy, then we must be on our way to success. 

But what if busyness is actually keeping you from being successful? And keeping your business broke. 

Ugh, right?

And at the root of using busy to avoid doing the work that moves the needle on your business goals is one thing - fear.  That fear can further be broken down into the fear of success and the fear of failure.

Listen in as we discuss what busyness can look like, why it happens and how to move forward in your business.

We all know that feeling. 

You've got a great idea, but somehow you can't seem to get started. You tell yourself you'll start tomorrow, and the next day, and the next . . . until before you know it, weeks or months have gone by and your idea is still just a dream. 

Inaction can become a habit if we're not careful - but luckily, there are ways to break out of it and move forward. In this episode, we'll explore how inaction becomes a habit and how to overcome it.

Here at Success and the Shy Girl - we've got 4 defined lifecycle phases that every business (small or large) fits into.

Because your success should not be a reflection of external expectations - in fact, it should always reflect the lifecycle of business you're in. So whether you're in a starting phase or a scaling phase, your definition of success will reflect where your business is at.
