The difference between movement and progress

In business, it’s easy to mistake activity for achievement. You are busy all day, answering messages, posting content, tweaking offers, but still feel stuck in the same place.

Movement keeps you occupied. Progress moves you forward.

The difference lies in intentional action. Every task should connect to a bigger purpose, a goal, a system, or a measurable outcome. Without direction, even hard work becomes noise.

Sometimes growth means slowing down, stepping back, and asking:

“Is what I’m doing today getting me closer to where I actually want to be?”

What is one thing you will stop doing this week so you can make room for real progress?
