Episode 017 – Procrastination is Costing Your Money

About This Episode

There are few things that kill momentum and cost you more money than procrastination.

Lack of planning, and lack of productivity don’t exact;y help the cause either.

I know because I admit it, I’m a recovering procrastinator.

For instance, it took me a week longer than it should have to get off my axx and batch record the podcast episodes for August (including this one).

So I guess that this episode is sort of a case study in my own attempt at getting back on track, recovering and reminding myself how to be a lot more productive and get stuff done…so that I can actually outsource a few things, spend a lot less time working and more time hanging out with my friends and family.

Tips that you can use if you’re a newbie, a side-hustler or veteran business owner.
