Busy Badge

I recently listened to a very wise man talk about how we wear busyness as a badge of honor and how that may not be such a good thing.

There is nothing wrong per se with being busy. I think we all just need to take a look at the kind of busy we are. Are we busy making our products better or are we busy with the status quo? Are we busy chasing after the same old contacts or are we engaged in finding new and better prospects? Are we busy trying to make unsuccessful business models and plans work, or are we busy trying to find what truly works best for our business?  Are we busy chasing chickens, or are we busy getting out of the coop?

How many times have you been asked, “How are you?”, and your reply is “I’ve been really busy”?  I know I’m guilty of that! I think if we were busy doing meaningful things our answers would be different.

So my advice to you today, is to stop being busy with the mediocre and to start getting busy with the meaningful. If you do, you may just find that you aren’t as busy as you thought!
