Are you busy? Simple question, I know. But almost anyone would immediately respond by saying yes. The problem is this, when we’re busy, it’s nearly impossible to grow our businesses, busyness can be a trap that can keep us from making progress at all. In this episode I talk with Kate Erickson, she has built a 7 figure, high-profit business with a small staff called Entrepreneurs on Fire. And she doesn’t work 24/7!
In addition to running Entrepreneurs on Fire along with John Lee Dumas, she is also the host of the podcast titled, Ditch Busy. After listening to her podcast, not only do I highly recommend it, but I also realized that she would be an ideal guest to talk to us about how we can begin to ditch busy so we can grow our business.
