Five Time Wasters Derailing Your Small Business Success

Hey Friend,

Ever feel like you should have plenty of time to move the needle in your business... but the day just slips away from you?

This episode is for you. Today, I’m breaking down five sneaky time-wasting habits that might be secretly slowing down your business growth—and what you can do to take back your time, one small shift at a time.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why you think you’re being productive (but actually aren’t)
  • The truth about multitasking and how it’s killing your focus
  • Why checking your email all day is making you reactive, not strategic
  • How to spot social media scroll traps and take back control
  • The simplest way to uncover where your time is really going

If you're a busy online business owner trying to balance client work, content creation, and all the behind-the-scenes admin—it’s easy to fall into time traps without realizing it. These small habits can quietly chip away at your day and leave you wondering why you’re not making the progress you want.

This episode will help you:

  • Identify where your time is actually going
  • Build better boundaries around your schedule
  • Get clear on what to focus on so your business growth doesn’t stall

David Allen's Quote: “Email is for other people's agenda of your time”
