Does business have to be busy‪?‬ The Spirit of Business

    • Entrepreneurship

There’s a strange contradiction for many business people. We want to be busy because it means there’s lots happening but we don’t want to be busy because it’s hard work and can be stressful. At the same time, many of us define ourselves by how busy we are. Someone says “How are you?” “Busy” is a common answer. So the question is whether business has to be busy or could there be a better way of experiencing it?
