Episode 814: 11 Things You Can Do To Simplify Your Business: How To Build a Business That Runs Without You

How much complexity are you tolerating in your business right now? There is a natural countercurrent in this industry that wants to drag you toward complexity: more platforms, more offers, and more AI tools that promise results but usually just deliver exhaustion. It doesn't have to be this way, and today, I share how the degree that you have simplicity in your business is the rate at which you can grow. In this episode, I'm breaking down 11 things you can do, or rather, 11 things you should probably say NO to, in order to simplify your business and build a machine that actually runs without you!
