Author: Social Proof Network June 12, 2026 Duration: 50:31

Are you spending all day working on your business but still not making sales?


In this episode, David Shands and Donni Wiggins break down the difference between revenue-producing, revenue-supporting, and revenue-delaying activities and why so many entrepreneurs stay stuck in preparation mode instead of making money.


From perfecting logos and websites to endless research and course buying, they expose the habits that make you feel productive without actually moving your business forward.

You'll learn:

The difference between being busy and being profitable

Why perfectionism is costing you money

How to identify revenue-delaying activities

The sales mindset every entrepreneur needs

Why asking "Will you buy?" can change your business

If you've ever spent hours planning, researching, organizing, or tweaking your business without seeing results, this conversation is for you.
