In this episode of Thrive in Business, Nicky and Ness explore the complexities of hard work in the modern business world. Drawing from their own experiences, they discuss the two extremes when it comes to hard work and feeling like you’re not working enough hours and feeling like you’re working too much. They then dive into how to find a balance between those two extremes and how to break free from an unhealthy cycle of hard work. They reflect on their role models, money beliefs, and “Comparisonitis” when it comes to hard work. They tackle the idea of the four-hour work week, exploring if it’s possible to achieve success without having to put in long hours every day. They challenge listeners to consider their own beliefs about what working hard looks like and provide useful tips on how to step back and create a healthier belief system.

It's about letting other people know about how important you are.” – Nicky“It's about what are those specific cycles and patterns that you identify for yourself.” - NessLinks:https://businesstogether.com.au Free resources to help you and your teams thrive without the burnout https://businesstogether.com.au/resources Follow us on socialsInstagram - @b2businesstogether Facebook - @B2BusinessTogetherConnect on LinkedIn Learn more about Nicky at nickymiklos.com Grab The Growth Code™ here!
