Are you constantly busy but feel like your business isn't moving forward? In this solo episode, the host of Harmonious at Lunch shares a critical business concept from Kevin O'Leary that radically changed how he manages his time and focus: Signal vs. Noise.


Discover the simple framework used by top performers like Steve Jobs and Elon Musk to identify which tasks actually contribute to growth (the "signal") and which are just distractions (the "noise"). This episode is a candid look at how most entrepreneurs accidentally spend their weeks on low-impact activities and provides a clear, actionable method to audit your own schedule. Learn how to incrementally shift your focus toward the 80% of work that matters, delegate or delete the rest, and see a substantial change in your company's progress.
