Why do we make business so hard?
Is the current state of your business giving you the itch to try a new tactic or strategy this year? If so, here’s an often overlooked procedure that you can (and should) take advantage of right now.

For a long time I felt like I was trying to do “all the things” and my business required 45+ hours a week and lots of hustling to make it work. The truth is, I was spreading myself thin and diluting my efforts across too many things. To boil it down, I was doing too many things and none of it all that well. To regain my sanity and see sustainable business growth, I had to do less – better.
