Is Being “BUSY” Keeping You Broke?

Hey everyone, welcome back to another episode of Money Grows On Trees: The Podcast! I'm your host, Lloyd Ross, and today's topic is going to blow your mind. We're diving deep into the question: Is Being "BUSY" Keeping You Broke? I know, I know, it sounds crazy, but trust me, this is a mindset that so many of us fall into without even realizing it. In my book, Money Buys Happiness, I actually touch on this concept of the "busy badge" and how it can hinder our wealth-building journey. But here's the thing, being busy doesn't necessarily mean you're being productive, and working hard doesn't automatically translate to wealth. In fact, some of the wealthiest individuals in the world are actually incredibly protective of their time and spend it on very high-value tasks. On the other hand, there are people who are constantly busy but are living paycheck to paycheck, struggling to make ends meet. So, in this episode, we're going to dissect the busy money mindset and explore why it's actually keeping so many people broke. We'll talk about the identities we attach to being busy, the illusion of productivity, and the security blanket that busyness provides us. Plus, I'll share some insights on how to redefine your relationship with busyness and leverage your time to create wealth. Trust me, folks, this episode is going to challenge everything you thought you knew about being busy and its impact on your financial success. So, grab your headphones, get ready to have your mind blown, and let's dive right in! Money Grows on Trees Team

In his early 20s, Lloyd picked up a book called “The Snowball” a comprehensive biography about Warren Buffet, arguably the world’s greatest investor of all time and one of the wealthiest on the planet.

He bought his first stock at age 25 and by the age of 37, Lloyd achieved his first major financial goal of a Million Dollar portfolio, without ever using debt.

He also bought a book called "Rich Dad Poor Dad" which helped him, his wife and his older sister start a side hustle, where they now teach people how to plant their Money Tree. A few months after hitting his first goal his side hustle generates over 7 figures in revenue and now he is looking to create another Million Dollar business.
