Why simplify?

No alt text provided for this image

It sounds counterintuitive, but letting go of things can release us to do more with the time and energy we have.?

As a serial over-complicator, I know the temptation to add.

An extra piece to an offer to render it tasty.

Three more sentences to a paragraph to make it even more appealing.

Six options instead of three.

What we all seem to have found recently is that letting go of appointments and engagements, all those activities and obligations, don’t make life meaningless - quite the opposite.?

Slowing down has been a boon for many.

Less travel. Less rush. Less stress.

More family time, games time, thinking time, non-thinking time.?

Interviewers who enquired into people’s behaviour during restricted times discovered that sudden space gave people room to decide what they really wanted to do.

And that’s the grounded learning in all this.?

Simplifying is crucial because it makes a space for what we truly value. What ties in with who we want to be and how we show up to the world.?

The application is there for your business. If you are running it alone, you have only so much of you to devote to it. Where will you put your focus??

PS A reminder that one way to find out how to let go and grow is to book a Simply Start! discovery call with me today. (It's free.)?
