Inside Strategic Coach: Connecting Entrepreneurs With What Really Matters

Surprising Business Lessons About "Busy" Entrepreneurs


Listen Later

A lot of people go to great lengths to always appear busy. But should you really see being busy as a badge of honor? In this episode, Dan Sullivan and Shannon Waller explain why the answer is “no.”


Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:

  • What busy people are really after.
  • How busy people are actually wasting energy.
  • How to achieve results more easily using teamwork.
  • Why there’s a real cost for entrepreneurs who are focused on being busy.


Show Notes:

People try to establish their value by always being busy.

Being busy has nothing to do with any kind of results.

As results oriented people get better at what they do, they achieve their desired results by being less busy.

Depending on the rules you set up in your company, either being busy or achieving results will be rewarded.

Busy people see it as dangerous to not be seen on any workday.

In large bureaucracies, you get promoted on the basis of your busyness because the organization’s purpose is to be seen as busy.

Entrepreneurial companies get connected to the marketplace very quickly.

There’s no progress without measurement.

Entrepreneurs tend to make for really lousy employees.

We’re always ignorant and incapable when we start anything new.
