What 1-3 decisions could you make that would dramatically simplify your life? I (Ryan) asked myself this question earlier this year, and it served as a "forcing function" for me to make hard decisions in my life and business. What would my business look like if it was simple? What could become possible if I had more time to think? What skills might I learn if I had more mental capacity? In this episode, I share some of the decisions that I made - and am considering making - in order to free up more space, and how I plan to use that new capacity to serve at a deeper, more meaningful level.
When life feels uncertain and everything is falling apart... this is what to do when you don't know what to do. Life is like an ETF; there are good things and bad things in your life "portfolio." We don't notice our improvements, and we are freaked out by our setbacks. Still, things tend to go up over time. The trick is staying the game long enough to let compounding returns kick in. When everything is falling apart, we prepare for the next opportunity... and the opportunity of a lifetime tends to come around at least once a year, as long as we are ready for them.
