Scale Smarter: How to Find the 20% of Actions That Drive 80% of Your Business Results {10.28.25}

The Goal Getter Guide with Jen Laffin

If your business growth has stalled, the problem might not be your effort —it's what your spending that effort on.
In this episode, Jen breaks down the difference between busy work and productive work and shows you how to apply the 80/20 Rule to scale smarter, not harder.

You’ll learn how to identify the 20% of tasks that drive 80% of your results, eliminate distractions that don’t serve your goals, and reclaim your time for what truly matters --> clients, cash, and credibility.

Because when you focus on what moves the needle, momentum follows.

Key Takeaways

• 80/20 Rule Basics: 80% of your results come from 20% of your actions, but most entrepreneurs spend their days on the wrong 80%.
• Busy vs. Productive: Busy tasks feel important but keep you in place; productive tasks stretch you and grow your business.
• The Focus Filter: Three questions to ask yourself to determine if a task is really worth your timeWhy This Matters

Scaling isn’t about doing everything. It’s about knowing what deserves your energy — and letting go of what doesn’t.

The entrepreneurs who grow fastest are the ones who learn to filter, focus, and follow through.
