A lot of business advice is inside a very specific vacuum. Do these things and success will appear. But it's not as simple as that...

A Note On Transcriptions - In the interest of simplicity, I'm using Descript* to make podcast publishing as easy as possible. This means that sometimes the transcript won't match what I'm saying and sometimes it'll be hilariously different (tag me on Twitter telling me the funniest transcription you've found).

Simplicity isn't static.

Yesterday, I spoke about redefining simplicity about how simplicity

isn't about less or more.

It's about finding enough in the context you're in.

A lot of the work I do for clients is about bringing more

simplicity into their business.

It's about finding solutions that reduce the overwhelm, but what

happens when the overwhelm is gone?

And you're left with something that no longer suits the

environment that you're in.

For example, you can purchase a template and it will reduce overwhelm

if it is a good template for a time.

But once you get used to the template and the environment changes and

you're looking for a little bit more.

You'll no longer feeling that overwhelm of oh my gosh there's too many things to do.

It becomes over-simplified.

There is less nuance or context that you can use.

Your system never needs to be done because it assumes that there is an endpoint.

Simplicity.

Isn't static.

Now that doesn't mean you have to rebuild everything once a month, but

it's important to make sure that the way that you work and what tools you're

using are always fitting your needs.

Simplicity, isn't static.

It's ever evolving and changing, and it's important to pay attention

to how you exist within the system and what needs to change to help

fit you where you're at now.

We are bombarded by hundreds of things every day, telling us how to behave

and we're told to stick to just one single way of working all the time,

even when it's no longer serving this.

This can range from everything from the tech we use to the offers we're providing.

All of them based on something we were told to do.

Instead of spinning in the spot, hoping to get out of the mud of all

the things that you built in the past.

Start from you.

Don't wanna go it alone?
