Hey everyone, welcome back to another episode of Money Grows On Trees: The Podcast! I'm your host, Lloyd Ross, and today's topic is going to blow your mind. We're diving deep into the question: Is Being "BUSY" Keeping You Broke? I know, I know, it sounds crazy, but trust me, this is a mindset that so many of us fall into without even realizing it. In my book, Money Buys Happiness, I actually touch on this concept of the "busy badge" and how it can hinder our wealth-building journey. But here's the thing, being busy doesn't necessarily mean you're being productive, and working hard doesn't automatically translate to wealth. In fact, some of the wealthiest individuals in the world are actually incredibly protective of their time and spend it on very high-value tasks. On the other hand, there are people who are constantly busy but are living paycheck to paycheck, struggling to make ends meet. So, in this episode, we're going to dissect the busy money mindset and explore why it's actually keeping so many people broke. We'll talk about the identities we attach to being busy, the illusion of productivity, and the security blanket that busyness provides us. Plus, I'll share some insights on how to redefine your relationship with busyness and leverage your time to create wealth. Trust me, folks, this episode is going to challenge everything you thought you knew about being busy and its impact on your financial success. So, grab your headphones, get ready to have your mind blown, and let's dive right in! Money Grows on Trees Team
