Description

Well, hello and let's continue with the theme of the secret to business success.  I've been talking a lot in the last couple of episodes about simplicity. We've talked about clarity. We've talked about keeping things easy and measurable and everything that's required in order to be successful with business. And I want you to understand why I am so adamant and animate about this it's because I've probably made every business mistake possible. And when I look at them and I've reflected on almost bankruptcy, losing businesses, losing millions of dollars, and I look back at all of it. The one thing that was true through everything was complication.Every single thing that I failed that was complicated, too many emails, too complicated of an offer, too many tasks, too many areas of focus, too many social platforms, too many meetings, too much of everything over video editing, overthinking over-complicating. And the truth is is that if it's not simple, it's not going to work.And when we look at the most successful things in our life, the most successful products that we've seen, or courses that we've bought, or ones that we've created and sold all come from simplicity. We find a problem. We create a simple solution for that problem. Somebody can commit because it's simple, they solve that problem and then go market for us. It happens inside the company to meetings about meetings, about meetings. I hate meetings. There's a really good book. Cameron Herald wrote called meeting suck.So today I'm going to share with you the three steps to creating a simplified business. I have my notes on my iPad. If you're watching this on video, I've stopped trying to memorize all of this because it's important to deliver the information. But if you're listening, you don't know that, but now I just told you, so just envision me staring at the camera and staring at my iPad ndthat's what we got.  So yesterday I was driving, I was up in the mountains and I had a six hour drive home. And I was driving no radio, just the noise, outside, really hot weather. As I was driving through the Mojave desert, it was like 107 but I was just thinking and thinking and I have a couple of things that in, in my business and in my life that have been effective negatively given the fact of the world in the last couple of months, and it's been hard and it's been really, really hard and scary for me. I've struggled with anxiety and depression, some panic attacks, nightmares, not sleeping. And the truth is that. I never took the time to remove myself from the "mud". Like I knew what was in the mud and I just kept trying to swim through it. And I was like, I've got to get out of it.And so yesterday I used some of that thinking time. I use that six hours just to think. And I just, literally, before I got in the car, I was like, okay, if I could solve a problem today, if I could get clarity on a situation today, how would I do it? And I was like, I'll just think about it. I was like, what's the problem?And I listed out in my brain, like what, the three things that I was looking for. And I just thought, and I thought, and I thought, and I drove and I thought, and I drove and I thought, and the first two hours was, I would just describe it as hell. It was hell it was hard to do. I was uncomfortable. I cried a lot. I was scared. I was like yelling in the car. And then I just stayed with it and I stayed with it and I stayed with it. And about two hours in, I just felt this like sense of relief. I felt calm. I felt collected and I felt confident and I just kept thinking about it. And the longer I sat with it, the more clear everything became and I basically solved. The challenges yesterday in a six hour car ride that I've been having for three months, that I haven't been able to "figure out", and all I needed was the time, the time and the space to give myself that clarity. And as I got that clarity, I realized that I was a little disconnected from things that really matter in my busin
