What if success was quietly costing you the very people you’re working for?
In this powerful episode of the Online Prosperity Show, host Prosper Taruvinga sits down with Elbert Or, co-founder of Pushpin, to unpack a truth many entrepreneurs avoid: being busy isn’t the same as being effective… and success without clarity can come at a heavy price.
Elbert shares the moment that changed everything — when his own children admitted they preferred him not being around because of how work had changed him. That wake-up call led to a radical shift: fewer workdays, more intention, and surprisingly… greater business growth.
This episode dives deep into:
• How working less can actually produce better results
• The hidden cost of hustle culture on family and leadership
• Why clarity, not effort, is the real growth strategy
• The role of community in overcoming entrepreneurial isolation
• How to build a business that creates impact — not just income
If you’ve ever felt torn between growing your business and protecting your personal life… this conversation will hit home.
Elbert also shares how visual storytelling and facilitation help leaders and organizations “see and be their best selves,” especially in a world that’s increasingly complex and disconnected.

________________________________________________________________
Most businesses don’t struggle because they lack effort or ideas.
They struggle because their growth depends on attention they don’t own.
This channel is about changing that.
I help coaches, consultants, and service-based founders turn attention into owned media assets — so their business compounds instead of constantly restarting.
No hype.
No algorithm chasing.
Just clear thinking, calm strategy, and systems that last.
