Anyone else begin to ask themselves “Does it add value?” more and more as they progress on their entrepreneurial journey?

Does getting aimlessly drunk with friends every weekend add value? Nope! That’s a two-day setback.

Does listening to the radio in the car each day add value? No way! But loading up the iPhone with podcasts to listen to while driving does.

Does reading the newspaper cover-to-cover each day add value? I don’t need to be on top of every detail of the Ukraine situation; I’m not about to set up an office in Ukraine! Hand me a business book instead!

Does social media add value?. Hell no! “Likes” are a good ego boost, but my suppliers aren’t gonna give me a discount because I got 50 likes on a post!

The question is there for just about everything I do these days...

Minus the “Is this fastlane?” and “What business should I start?” threads this forum of course adds value ;)
