The Value of Simplicity and other Reflections for a Better Business and a Better Life | “Love ‘n Business” Podcast
The latest “Love ‘n Business” podcast is here! In this episode, Mick Arnold and Britt Arnold tackle the value of an objective, focused approach when addressing challenges and looking for opportunities – both in regard to yourself and in your work.
Three phrases launch their thoughtful journey:
- “Being a serial entrepreneur is only interesting at a cocktail party.”
- “General ambition gives you anxiety. Specific ambition gives you direction.”
- “Go deep, not wide. “
The Arnold’s indeed go deep with real-life examples.
Here’s a taste of what they discuss:
- The potential damage complacency can cause.
- Not letting consistency drag you down. Seeking creative innovations to stay engaged and give your business a competitive edge.
- Be relentless!
- Giving yourself manageable milestones and enjoying the journey getting there.
- Disassociating emotions from the work. The things you dislike and you’re putting off may well be the most critical things you should be focused on.
- Being comfortable in your weaknesses – and/or allow yourself to outsource.
- Journaling/blogging with the goal of personal accountability.
- KISS… keep it simple, stupid. How the value of simplicity, how it helps with personal goals and with messaging to teams.
- Finding your personal – and business – truth.
- Being grateful.
