There is a difference between being busy, being busy and genuine productivity. Please don’t confuse movement with getting real things done. As a matter of fact, the billionaires that I coach and the titans of industry that I advise, they all have one thing in common, they really don’t work super hard. They are much more interested in quality work than busy work.We live in a world where a lot of people are running around, being busy, being busy. They’re doing too many meetings, they are available for every phone call, they’re always checking their technology, they never get lost. They’re masters of yes versus magicians of no, and so their lives become very complicated. Yet the true superstars that I’ve worked with, they’re much less interested in complexity and they’re much more invested in simplicity. They do a few things in their professional life staggeringly well. They build a great team. They structure a great lifestyle so they have time to mountain bike, and they have time to be with their family, and they have time to read, and they have time to go to museums, and all of those other things that make you more creative and more productive in business.
