I just found out something very interesting...the snack we all know as Frito's only has 3 ingredients! Corn, corn oil, and salt. And that got me to thinking about how sometimes simplicity can be much more beneficial than complexity. If a classic snack like Frito's can survive in the mix of the whole snack world and be such a simple product, then I think we can survive in our business world without making our lives so complex.
I'm not saying limit our business growth potential, but rather implementing programs and hiring people as leverage to help ease our work load when we reach a point where we can't do it alone. I know some of us are the types who feel like if we don't do it ourselves, it won't be done right. If we implement the right programs and hire the talented people then it will keep us from making our work lives so complex that it keeps us from enjoying the simpler things in life.
For the longest time, I felt that if I wasn't running around like a mad man trying to keep up with everything, then I wasn't doing as much business as I needed. But now I've realized that I can even have more business coming in but not nearly as busy with the help of the right people and programs. Keeping things simple from here on out.
