Episode 249 – Libby Langley – More Joy In Business, Why Not?
How To Work Less, Earn More, and Find More Joy In Business with Libby Langley Working less, earning more, and embracing true happiness in business is the desire of every business owner. However, so many of us succumb to the relentless pressure to work around the clock that neither allows us to focus on what we truly want in life nor inject playfulness and fun into daily tasks, making it difficult to enhance our productivity and creativity in our work. Viewing business as a game that you can enjoy can help you approach challenges with a sense of curiosity and enthusiasm. Identifying opportunities for innovation and strategic moves also becomes a process of exploration rather than a burdensome task. In this episode, Libby Langley shares her entrepreneurial journey and strategies to help you streamline your efforts, focus on core activities, and ultimately work smarter, not harder, leading to increased efficiency and, consequently, more success.
