Every day, we hear people say, “Time is money.” But what does that actually mean? I like to imagine my time as currency, because it instantly shows me whether I’m spending it wisely or wasting it. Let’s say, You take a bad business call. The client is rude, frustrated, and drains your energy. That call lasted 5 minutes. Out of the 1,440 minutes you’re given each day, you just spent $5 of your daily budget. Now here’s the real question: If someone already wasted $5 of your money… would you let them keep taking more? Of course not. You’d cut it off and spend that money somewhere better. Once you see time as something you spend, you stop giving discounts to things that don’t deserve it. Spend wisely 💸 Because, unlike money, you don’t get refunds on time.

Being busy does not mean being productive. A lot of people fill their day with tasks, but never move closer to the goals that actually matter. Productivity is about whether the things you do actually bring progress. Take a step back today and ask yourself: 👉 Is this task getting me closer to my long-term goals? 👉 Or am I just keeping myself occupied to feel accomplished? Real growth comes from clarity, prioritization, and intentional action. Choose impact over activity.

This is one of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself at the beginning of any endeavor: "What does winning look like?" First, get crystal clear on your definition of winning. Once you know that, you can reverse-engineer the journey and plot the path that gets you there. You can’t arrive at your destination without first deciding where you want to go. As Steven Covey reminds us in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: "Start with the end in mind.” Asking “What does winning look like?” is a simple but transformative exercise. It quickly creates clarity and alignment, whether you’re working solo or with a group. It surfaces each person’s genuine desires in a natural, uncomplicated way. You can use it for long-term visions, major projects, or even micro-goals - like asking, “What does winning look like for this meeting?” The true power of this question is that it allows you to design from your ideal, your best-case scenario. When done as a team, it aligns everyone around a common vision, with each member feeling invested because their voice has been included. For leaders, this question removes the guesswork. Instead of assuming what success means, you illuminate it clearly for yourself and others. Example: Imagine you’re planning a team retreat. If you ask each person, “What does winning look like for this retreat?” one person might say team bonding, another might say learning new skills, and another might say relaxation and fun. By surfacing these answers, you can design a retreat that blends all three elements, leaving everyone satisfied and aligned.
