Show Notes

The difference between being busy and being present and being busy just means filling up your time with any activity that makes you feel like you’re accomplishing something.
Being present means that you’re very conscious about what’s important in your life.
It’s not a function of quantity of activity… It’s actually a function of quality activities.
Cashflow really drives busy-ness in the early days of the Entrepreneurial career.
It takes several years as an Entrepreneur to really get a handle on what the business model and value creation proposition is.
The breakthrough to this addiction of trying to forget yourself is actually just trying to remember who you are.
Remembering who you are doesn’t come from trying to forget who you are.
You’re an Entrepreneur because you’re seeking freedom in your life.
You don’t want to work for someone else because working for someone else, doesn’t give you the freedom of time, money, relationships or working with who you want to work with.
I never want to hire someone who is busy from morning till night and works on weekends and never takes free days because I’m afraid there’s no consciousness there.
The person is never going to be present. They’re making themselves a very low level commodity by being busy all the time.
Happiness is being your own friend.
To the degree that you are a friend to yourself, that you are supportive of yourself, my belief is that the way you treat yourself is the way that you treat other people.
The big breakthrough from busy-ness to presence is really other people.
It’s linking your abilities up with the abilities of other people. You’ve got to be enormously present to see the connections between what you’re great at and what other people are great at.
The sole motivation for Entrepreneurs to become Entrepreneurs.. and their ability to be happy as Entrepreneurs is keeping their mind totally on the sense that they’re doing this for freedom.
If you want to actually be part of a program that dwells into eliminating unproductive busy-ness. Getting yourself clear and confident and building a unique ability Team around you. That’s why Strategic Coach and Genius Network exists to put these amazing individuals together and connect them with more capabilities.
