Melanie Mitro
About this episode

Are you stuck in the cycle of always feeling busy but not seeing the growth you want? 

You’re not alone. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why hustle without strategy is keeping you stuck — and how to finally break the busy trap.

We’ll talk about:

- Why hitting minimum goals is quietly sabotaging your growth

- How to stop spinning in busywork and start focusing on income-producing activities

- The mindset shifts and daily tactics that will create true, lasting momentum

- Real talk about the stories you’re telling yourself — and how they’re keeping you stuck

If you’re ready to trade in motion for meaningful action, this is your episode.

 Press play, and let’s get you building a business that actually builds your dreams.
