You need clarity of mind, thinking. I chatted with a guy a couple of months ago. He was joining Hara and he was saying to me, you know, I want to map out a five year plan if I could only find four hours. to just sit down and map out a five-year plan. I know how crazy that sounds.

And I said, is it crazy that you're mapping out a five-year plan or is it crazy that you think that you need four hours to map out a five-year plan? He said, it's crazy that I think I need four hours. I should be able to do it in less. So there's this constant sense that I should be able to condense and do things very quickly

When the reality is my days, if you're going to think about a five-year plan, which I personally feel is maybe it's a five-year vision, but it's hard to implement a plan. You need more than four hours for that, I think. It should take a lot of time and self-reflection. So from an objective view, where is your attention going that feels as though it's wasteful?

And the loop of distraction is the constant pattern of the mind. It's just the constant state, you know, in the evening watching TV, but also being on our phone and then at dinner table, then at the dinner table watching something or there, but your mind is being taken elsewhere.

So whether we appreciate it or not, we might consider that we're training or we're working out when we go to the gym and we do specific things on our body. But when it comes to our character and our state of mind, we're constantly developing and shaping ourselves to better or worse.

If you're running a business and if you're doing something for yourself, it's your clarity and your vision that shapes everything. Because I think you know as well as I do, when the value system of the business or as a way to generate interest starts going through the lens of social media and posts and engagement,

Suddenly it can sort of start to get warped that the opportunity comes from the degree of engagement. The opportunity comes from responding to what's happening in that space. But, you know, I have a friend who will share the dark truth, which is he runs a business around productivity. He wanted to build more leads.

He spent a day, a year posting and had a team of freelancers helping him build up his Instagram to 360,000 followers. The Instagram page is solely about this topic of productivity, running a digital marketing agency. 0.06%. of his followers converted to actually purchasing his product. Wow.

So it can become a trap in and of itself, where now I've lost, the direction and the vision has become skewed. I just saw that there was a lot of engagement on the post, so maybe we need to double down in more of those posts. And now we're getting more followers, and now we're growing the engagement. But is that tethered to the ultimate vision of the business?

I for that I need it's not unless your vision is to become a content creator. You know, when you're a small business owner, you can get caught in that loop.
