The ‘Busy’ Trap: Reclaiming Your Time in Hospitality 

Feb 5, 2024 | News

In the world of hospitality, the term ‘busy’ is not just used casually; it’s often worn as a badge of honour. Yet, beneath the surface of this seemingly impressive label lies a trap that captures many passionate business owners.  

As the demands of a thriving hospitality business increase, the illusion of being ‘too busy’ to live the life you want becomes a looming reality.  

Your family miss out. Your health suffers. And as for hobbies…. out of the question. 

 

The Busy Badge: 

It’s not uncommon for entrepreneurs in the hospitality sector to wear their busyness as a badge of honour.
