ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Hard work can build a successful business. But what happens when the business you built still requires you to work constantly just to keep it moving?
In this episode of Catalyst Conversations, Desi Bolin talks with Sajad Husain of Cause and Effect Consulting about the difference between being busy and being productive—and why organization, accountability, and intentionality may matter more to growth than simply adding more hours to your day.
In this conversation, we explore:
- Why activity doesn’t necessarily equal productivity
- How ego can make you the bottleneck in your own growth
- Why organization is directly connected to revenue
- Sajad’s framework for more intentional sales conversations
- Why listening is essential when closing deals
- The difference between owning a business and creating a demanding job for yourself
- How accountability creates greater personal and professional agency
- Where AI can improve efficiency—and where it can create more work
- Why learning from the right people can save years of trial and error
- How to build success that actually supports the life you want
This conversation is for entrepreneurs, consultants, coaches, creators, and leaders who know how to work hard but are ready to examine whether all that effort is producing the results—and the life—they actually want.
