Why Your To-Do List Might Be Holding You Back

ByJowi

Our to-do list feels endless.
There are so many things we could do. Some are more important than others.

I recently listened to a podcast. They were chatting about this one guy being paid a lot to be an advisor.
Yet he didn’t do much.
He said that his job was not to add to the tasks in the business,
but to make sure they didn’t do anything that hindered the business profits.

I have also experienced the same thing.

The real difference between success and failure is to do the right things and not get distracted.

This is probably the biggest decision.

We can feel like progress, but in reality we can’t do the one thing that will move us forward.
That’s the task we need to look at.

We need to make sure to do the right things.
We need to act with clarity, and not fast.

This is the number one thing I hear from my clients:
​The clarity makes the difference.

Knowing what to do → then do it.

Because only action can move us forward.

So your progress will be a lot faster when you know the right thing to do and then also doing it.

This will build your business and it will feel like you’re speed-running,
when in reality, you actually do less.
It is just more focused.

    Hey Reader, Recently, a video went viral on TikTok.One Hustle Bro was showing off his morning routine.I’m not sure whether it was his actual morning routine (which I doubt) or if it was just staged. The full routine displayed in the video took him 5.5 hours.Five and a half hours. That’s just insane. You won’t get anything done by doing his morning routine. There has been so much chatter about the different morning routines.Yet nobody asks about the evening routines. To get a good start in the…

  • The Marathon No One Told Me About

    Business is not a One Time Thing. It is a lifelong journey. Many believe that they can win in business fast. At least when I look at their actions, they work like they are done in one year. That’s also how I got started. Thinking I just need to post 5 videos to YouTube and it will go viral. Then I create one product for $100 and I’ll be rich. Those were the three steps I thought would be what business was about. Now 8 years later—I learned it takes a lot more to run a successful business. The…

  • Declare War on the Hustle

    I have to admit something.I love my business and I really enjoy building businesses. That might not be that surprising. The surprising side is that I’m proud of how much I work. 50 hours a week is a good baseline. (I’m actively not counting all things because the shadow schedule is a lot bigger.) I started my business to build for my family, not to run from them. Now I have a business that hides me from my family. When I’m not working, I feel bad about not getting more done. So I get back to…

    “Well, I’m not ready.”How often do I hear this from others?How often do I think it myself? Too often. The truth is: You will never feel ready. The more you learn,the more you figure out what else there is to learn. Even when I feel like I have something figured out —the world changes and I have to start over again. Every time I used to start over,I’d get faster because I got better. I also know: Everybody else needs to start over too. There’s this constant battle inside: “Just start” sounds…

    This is a topic I keep thinking about. I’m yet to fully grasp what it means.We don’t like to be manipulated. It often happens — when I’m on X or other social platforms,I feel like the Sales Bros are always trying to be manipulative. A lot of the strategies behind Persuasion and Manipulation are similar.They are similar to what they do —but we don’t like to be sold to. Yet, it becomes more complicated when we find out someone manipulated us to buy.We feel icky.That’s not nice. So how is…

    Hey Reader, A lot of men want the freedom, the money, the status, the fire.Few are willing to chop the wood. Let me explain.
