Busyness Is A Byproduct of Success

Of course, there is a difference between being too busy, and being busy, just as there is a difference between being productive and being busy. But I have to chuckle when I hear people say that when they find success, they will find freedom from their work, and will finally be less busy. The reason that this statement is funny is that the more success one finds, the busier they become. In fact, I don’t know one successful person who isn’t busy. It’s only natural, because busyness is a byproduct of success. The more you want to do, the more you will take on. The more success you achieve, the more people who will want and need your attention. Success garners attention, which in return, demands your time.
