Productivity is not about Time - It's about Impact
|
|
Welcome
Solutions arrive on time, not on demand.
If this month taught me anything at all, it’s this.
This is a really frustrating truth to accept, but the sooner we do, the better.
Not all problems are ready to be solved immediately.
Timing is everything.
From a personal development standpoint, we all have things to work on.
And those issues tend to show up in life as well as in business.
In fact, there’s a popular quote that goes “all business problems are personal problems in disguise.”
When we have either money mindset beliefs, a lack of self-esteem, boundary problems, or other unresolved issues, it tends to manifest itself in the way we do business.
You don’t see it yourself, of course, but it’s obvious to anyone with a bit of awareness.
The best way to get ahead is to avoid problems altogether, but unfortunately, that’s a difficult thing to do.
Prevention is a tough sell.
In most cases, you don’t know there’s a problem until it hurts.
Should we all be more on top of things?
Sure, but with everything else life offers you on the plate, who has the time?
I see this all the time in my business.
Clients only reach out when they’re experiencing a problem, and yet they’re rarely ready for the solution at that point.
It’s not for a lack of wanting it, but because it’s still pretty early on, they don’t seem to want to do the work to fix it.
Hitting rock bottom is a necessary step for change.
I wish it wasn’t so, but action tends to come when you finally understand that no one else is going to save you.
When the only way is up, that’s when you’re ready.
So the next time you look for an answer, ask yourself:
Is the timing right? Am I really ready for the solution?
Probably not.
Only hindsight will tell you.

March 2025 Productivity Report
Productivity isn't about time; it's about creating impact
This month, I share why time isn't the only criteria you have to consider when thinking about your productivity. So often we think that we just have to do things faster, but that's far from the truth.
Read the overview up top, the full blog post here, and check out the visual report over on YouTube:
 In this video, I:
→ share how I view productivity and why
→ show you how to think about your goals and track progress
→ explain what stats I focus on and how I'm doing
