Controversial opinion: there is no shame in doomscrolling 📱.Successful people doomscroll, too. Companies like Facebook and TikTok fight to hire the smartest people in the world specifically to make those apps addictive. It isn't a surprise we are addicted, and it isn't shameful that we were caught by it. That doesn't mean we should just accept the addiction and doomscroll forever though.Realising it isn't something shameful, but something we can work on is really freeing. More importantly, it helps us create the conditions for positive change.Personally, I avoid telling my business-owning clients to stop doomscrolling. When you stop, all that happens is you create a 🌀"vacuum"🌀 that will inevitably be filled by whatever other easy dopamine-filled task can take it's place. You replace one problem with another.Instead, I like to work on fixing the root cause - having something better to do with that time.Think about when you don't doomscroll - it is often when you are so caught up in something exciting, challenging, real, that you forget to check your phone. We want more of that.That antidote to doomscrolling addiction isn't shame, it's excitement. The best tool to fighting your doomscrolling isn't an app that locks your other apps with a timer, it is your calendar being full with things you actually want to do.

I am here to make it easy for you to take the next step, to improve and grow your business in a way that protects your time.If this sound like something you'd be interested in, message me "YES" and I get you to your next step in your business.This clip comes from a podcast I did a while back with Shay Wheat and was automatically edited with OpusClip (highly recommended).Link to the full episode in the comments below.

A few years ago, I burned out so bad that I started vomiting blood.A 2 minute video about jellybeans totally changed my life. I had a "successful" business. We worked with top companies like Google and world-famous institutions like the University of Oxford.But I had no time. I was so busy working in the business that I had no time to enjoy myself. I got so trapped within the business that I didn't know what I should do for the best results, so I went around in circles working "hard" but getting nowhere. The stress caused me to burn out and eventually vomit blood.I saw a short video about jellybeans, linked in comments below, and realised there was no point in having a business that robbed me of my time, my energy, and my happiness. I made a change.I started learning about productivity, and made significant changes to what I was doing. But productivity was often about doing more. I was already doing so much! I adapted the lessons to focus on doing more of the right things, but less of everything else. I switched the playbook. I managed to cut my workweek dramatically, win awards, improve my businesses, and make MORE money by doing less.Eventually, I reduced my time requirement in my business down to less than 15 hours per week (without needing to hire other people).People started asking me for help to do the same with their business.They had started their businesses so they could be free, but they had made their business into their own prison where they resented their customer's requests and had no time to enjoy life.So I helped them. They achieved similar results, and referred more people to me.It got to a point where I realised just how much I enjoyed helping people fundamentally change their lives, to help them value their time and to enjoy their business again. One person I helped suggested I should start charging for my help, so I did. It went from side project, to fully professional business. And I couldn't be happier about that. I still only work an average of around 12 hours per week, I travel a lot (14 countries last year alone!), and I make more money than ever before. But there is little more rewarding to me than helping an entrepreneur reclaim their life, reconnect with their friends and family, and to rekindle their love for business.If you want to reclaim your time and rediscover your love for your business, don't wait until you start vomiting blood or you burn out. Make the change now. Your health and happiness depends on it. ❓ Why did you start your business?♻️ Reshare if you found this usefulThis clip was taken from my podcast episode appearance on Six-figure Speaker Spotlight with Kelley O'Hara

Most people actually want to be rich in time, not money. Consider what you *actually* want. Don't optimise for the wrong thing or you will accidentally build your own prison

If you think your market is oversaturated it is only because you're not yet specific enough about who you're helping.Here is my favourite 2 minute test to know whether your audience is specific enough: 🎯 You should be able to find 10 people who match your target audience profile within 2 minutes using a LinkedIn or Facebook groups search 🎯That's it. Simple, but not easy.Would you pass the test?👍 Like this post if you think you would pass the test💬 Comment below if you're not sure whether you could find 10 leads in 2 minutes
