Simplify to Amplify: The Benefits of Business Minimalism

Today we are talking about my FAVORITE topic right now - how to SIMPLIFY your business to be able to scale your business - without adding more hours to your workday.

It is SO easy to get caught up in all the “stuff” on our to-do list that we don’t realize how much of what we’re focusing on and doing on a daily basis isn’t actually driving profits or client results (the two most important things to focus on in your biz!)

The key is to start focusing on the 20% of actions that will create 80% of your results - in your business and in your life.

When we focus on streamlining, simplifying, and practicing what I call the “Art of Business Minimalism” everything just starts to click and you are able to have more time freedom and energetic overflow without sacrificing your income or impact.

Let’s take a look at how to simplify your biz through the magic of a capsule wardrobe…

In the past, I would constantly be buying new clothes and things on sale and keeping items that no longer fit me “just in case I lost 20 lbs” and those pants from college could come back into rotation. I thought I was living a “rich life” and being stylish until all the sudden I was spending more time and energy than ever before trying to pick out an outfit, keeping things organized, more laundry to do and even sorting the piles of clothing into seasonal boxes just to store it all!

The kicker was that there was probably only 20% of my clothing I ACTUALLY wore.

My go-to staples that fit me well and worked together were chosen first over and over… while everything else just took up space.

This is EXACTLY what happens in our business - the most important things often get shuffled together with nonessentials.

When I finally got rid of the majority of my clothes and kept the white and black tees, the jeans, a few dresses, sweaters, and my favorite accessories… MAGIC HAPPENED.

I took WAY less time to get ready, all of my outfits worked together effortlessly to get the result I wanted (looking cute in ½ the time) and what I didn’t realize was how GOOD it felt to go through a closet or open drawers that had SPACE in them. It felt energizing and like I had my shit together - which created a positive impact in ALL areas of my life. Things felt simple, clean, organized, effective, and FUN again!

>>Our precious TIME AND ENERGY is spent out of habit doing stuff that makes us feel like we’re managing the clutter of daily to-dos when really what needs to happen is we need to clear 80% of the stuff out that we’re doing in order to amplify our income and deepen our mastery of our craft.
