{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Work That Looks Good v Work That Gets Results | #192","description":"I've spent an embarrassing amount of time moving things one pixel to the left in Canva.\n\nI've rewritten websites. Reorganised systems. Created new things. Tweaked old things. Rearranged business furniture that didn't actually need rearranging.\n\nThe problem is that a lot of business activities feel productive.\n\nYou can spend an entire day doing them and finish feeling busy, diligent and hardworking.\n\nWhether any of it has actually moved your business forward is a different question entirely.\n\nIn this week's episode, I'm talking about the difference between work that looks good and work that gets results.\n\nBecause many of us fill our days with tasks that are visible, measurable and oddly comforting, while avoiding the conversations, decisions and actions that would make the biggest difference.\n\nI've done it.\n\nMy clients have done it.\n\nYou've almost certainly done it too.\n\nThis isn't an episode about hustle, squeezing more into your day, or becoming some sort of productivity machine.\n\nIt's about paying attention to what actually works.\n\nIn this episode:\n\n Why busy and effective are two very different things\n The business tasks that can quietly become sophisticated procrastination\n Why I believe conversations still beat most marketing tactics\n The hidden cost of endless tweaking and tinkering\n Why making decisions creates momentum\n The danger of building layers instead of fixing the thing underneath\n A simple question to ask yourself about almost everything on your to-do list\n\nIf you've ever reached the end of a working week feeling exhausted but strangely unsure what you've actually achieved, this episode is for you.\n\n💥 If this episode sparked something, message me on Instagram or LinkedIn, or email me, and tell me what's going on for you.\n\n🧡 If your business has got messy and you'd like help sorting it out, take a look at my Business Sort-Outs: https://libbylangley.com/sortout\n (https://libbylangley.com)\n📙 And if you'd like more of this thinking in book form, you can read Life in Business here: https://libbylangley.com/book","author_name":"Messy Business - with Libby Langley","author_url":"https://audioboom.com/channels/5091475-messy-business-with-libby-langley","provider_name":"Audioboom","provider_url":"https://audioboom.com","width":480,"height":95,"thumbnail_url":"https://audioboom.com/i/43158415/600x600/c","thumbnail_width":600,"thumbnail_height":600,"html":"<iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"95\" src=\"https://embeds.audioboom.com/posts/8910139/embed?v=202301\" style=\"background-color: transparent; display: block; padding: 0; width: 100%\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"allowtransparency\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"Audioboom player\" allow=\"autoplay\" sandbox=\"allow-downloads allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-storage-access-by-user-activation allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\"></iframe>"}
