What is the difference between activity and progress? Activity refers to any action or task that occupies your time, while progress refers to actions that move you closer to achieving your specific goals.
However, it’s a common pitfall to be busy with tasks that don’t actually drive our business forward. Instead of merely staying busy, we need to focus on executing our plans and achieving meaningful progress towards our goals.
An example is top-producing loan officers, as they maintain a laser focus every single day. They meticulously measure their weekly activities, making sure they are dedicated to attracting new referral partners, providing updates and fostering relationships with existing partners, and expanding their interactions with current and prospective customers. This strategic focus allows them to drive real business progress rather than just staying busy.
Understanding this distinction helps individuals and organizations prioritize their efforts, ensuring that time and resources are spent on actions that drive meaningful advancements rather than just maintaining busyness.
If you find yourself trapped in a cycle of busy work without making a single progress, I encourage you to try out the solutions we offer. These tools are designed to help our loan officers spend at least 80% of their time on income-producing activities, securing their efforts to lead to real growth and success.
