KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Overcomplicating and overstrategizing your work often stems from a fear of being ordinary and stupid.
• Doing less is a deliberate strategy where you subtract instead of looking to add to your commitments.
• Stripping back on platforms like Instagram and TikTok creates the space to develop the B2B side of your business.
• You can achieve forty percent business growth by working a solid thirty to thirty-five hours a week without working weekends or nights.
