Are you running a Business or a Busyness?
If you're a small business owner or entrepreneur, let me ask you something important: Are you running a business—or just running yourself into the ground with busyness?

In the latest episode of The Stern Truth: Business Unfiltered, I dive into a common trap that too many entrepreneurs fall into: grinding away for hours, feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, but not actually moving the needle on business growth.

If that sounds familiar, it’s time for a shift.
In this episode, I walk you through what it means to become a more intentional and mature business owner—someone who stops checking endless boxes and starts focusing on the activities that actually grow the business.

One of the key strategies I share is something we use regularly with our private coaching and Momentum group clients: the Energy Audit.
The Energy Audit is a simple yet powerful tool that helps you quickly identify:
  • Which tasks drain your energy
  • Which tasks energize and inspire you
Because let’s be real—if your calendar is filled with low-impact, draining tasks, no wonder you’re feeling stuck and burnt out.
As leadership expert John Maxwell says, “Your success is determined by your daily agenda.
So it’s time to take a hard, honest look at yours.
Ask yourself:
  • Are you prioritizing revenue-generating, energizing activities?
  • Or are you stuck doing work that keeps you busy, but doesn’t move your business forward?
Here’s the Stern Truth:
A successful, sustainable business requires focus, intentionality, and the courage to build a team—instead of trying to do it all yourself.
If you're serious about getting unstuck and creating real momentum in your business, I challenge you to take one bold step today: βœ… Listen to the latest episode
βœ… Complete your Energy Audit
βœ… Start making decisions that align with the business (and life) you actually want to build
Because small business success isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what matters most.
