What I Stopped Doing to Save $5K/Month and Scale Faster

There’s this idea in business that growth means doing more—more marketing, more content, more offers, more systems.

And for years, I believed it too. But what I’ve come to realize is that scaling isn’t just about adding or subtracting—it’s about knowing which actions truly move the needle based on where you are in your business.

Sometimes, growth means refining and simplifying. Other times, it means strategically adding the right elements to build momentum. The key is being intentional with what stays and what goes.

Since late last year, I’ve been stripping back everything in my business that wasn’t essential—and the impact has been incredible. More time, more flow, and (ironically) more revenue.

So, today, I want to break down exactly what I removed, why it didn’t matter, and how it’s made everything flow so much better.

Cutting the Noise & Scaling Smart

For the longest time, I was scared to let go. I thought growth meant expansion in every direction. More launches, more content, more complexity. But it turns out, what I actually needed was less.

I stripped back everything non-essential—tasks, systems, platforms, services—and in the process, I saved thousands per month while increasing my profits. Here’s what I stopped doing:

1. Overcomplicated Podcast Production

2. Deleting My 6.3K Facebook Group

3. Simplifying Email Marketing

4. Scaling Back Social Media

5. Reducing Live Calls & Programs

The Real Cost of Not Simplifying

When I totaled everything up, simplifying my business is saving me around $5,000 to $6,000 per month. Over a year? That’s $70,000. Over a decade? $700,000.

And the best part? My business is still thriving. Actually, it’s thriving more than ever because I’m no longer weighed down by unnecessary tasks, expenses, or mental clutter.

So, I want you to take a moment to reflect:

• What’s draining your time, energy, or money that isn’t actually moving the needle?
• Where can you cut back or simplify?
• What’s something you’re doing just because it’s the way you’ve always done it?

It doesn’t have to be a massive overhaul—start small. Look at where your energy is going, what’s actually creating results, and what’s just keeping you “busy.”

If this resonates, I’ve put together a 10-page workbook to walk you through this process step-by-step.
