Let’s get one thing straight: being productive doesn’t mean being busy.
You can sprint through your inbox, half-listen in meetings, and run on caffeine and fumes – and still get nowhere fast.
If you want to show up sharp, make better decisions, and lead your business with intent – you need to look after the engine.
That’s you.
Here’s what I see time and again in high-performing business owners:
- They move. Every day. Doesn’t have to be a marathon. A walk clears the brain better than any productivity app.
- They eat like adults. Not saints. Just enough fuel to avoid the 3pm crash.
- They sleep. Not just when the work’s “done” (because it never is). But as a non-negotiable.
- They protect time. For deep work, for rest, for thinking. That’s where real value is created.
And no, it doesn’t have to be perfect.
But the people I coach who really get traction?
They treat their routines like business assets – because they are.
So if you’ve hit a wall lately, try this:
Instead of writing a longer task list…build a stronger support system around yourself.
Your business needs a clear-thinking, energised, decision-making version of you – not the burnt-out, wired-on-coffee one.
Ready to build habits that fuel your business – not drain you?
You’ll be amazed at what shifts.
