The Difference Between Being Busy and Being Effective | #1307

Episode Summary

Being busy feels productive, but effectiveness is what drives results. In this episode, Brandon explains why hard work plateaus, how to identify your one leverage skill, and why focus and delegation matter more than effort.

Episode Notes

People equate effort with progress, but this episode reframes performance as an effectiveness problem rather than a work ethic problem. 

Brandon breaks down why busy work feels rewarding but produces diminishing returns, how most roles have one primary leverage skill, and why delegation creates space for impact.

You’ll learn how to diagnose whether your work actually produces outcomes, why saying no is essential for effectiveness, and how to refocus effort on what truly compounds results. 

This episode offers a clear lens for working less reactively, and more intentionally.
