Business is simple stop complicating it!

Imagine having the power of simplicity.

Acting less on default and more on intention.

Shifting from being reactive to becoming proactive.

Develop these three disciplines in your day-to-day activities:

· BEing able to bounce back quickly to get ahead through resilience

· BEing able to say NO without guilt – wealthy people say NO more to more things

· BEing Disciplined – do what you set out to do without distraction

Your business is purely a vehicle to serve you so you get the life you want and your business must support that. Your business is there to fund the life you want by way of making you money and giving you time.

Your role, as the business owner, is to put the mechanics into the business on how to get there. Then the business must run through systems and a team to enable your business to continue to run whether you are there or not.
