Can you imagine? I asked her what business she does, and she said: Sam I am jobless and broke and I really need money to start a business. Coming from someone who spends 22 hours on social media, I laughed hard and wondered why many, maybe even you reading right now is still swimming in the misconception of business!
Everybody has a business; just that many don't get money from their business which cracks or puts the definition of business to the sword.
Simple; Your business is your busyness! If you stay 9-5 at the office filling paper and attending to customers, you are busy about filling paper and attending to customers and that is your business. If you are traveling around speaking at events and conferences, you are busy about speaking and that is your business. The problem now is that many have busynesses but are not in business!
If your 20 hours on social media brings nothing to your bank account or influence account, then you have a busyness but you are not in business! Many speakers jump from event to event only for a pat at the back and the common expectation of "Wow, you were good, you blew our minds" and they go back home like "Wow, my account is bLOWn! They are busy for nothing! Some will even trek home sef... Let me not talk before they say sam talks too much...
Someone right here is even planning on going to spend 7 hours decorating that hall because she loves it so much and want to do it.. Remember passion does not pay bills...
Anything that you do that takes your time and effort and does not give you influence, affluence, connect and open doors is a busyness out of business...
I've never seen or heard of a yahoo boy who fell in love with his client. Be wise... Stay woke! You can't be sleeping on a bicycle or can you?
