Declutter to Grow: The Fall Cleaning You Didn't Know You Needed

Last year, I sold my house – and I decided to go full-blown nomad. I became a member of the Airbnb sharing economy, and in order to wing it, I had to purge…BIG TIME.

I learned a big lesson.

Picture this: My essentials, crammed into a car that would make the Beverly Hillbillies proud.

Sounds crazy, right? But it taught me something huge: less really is more. Not just for living, but for business too.

Why? Because clutter hinders growth. And I'm not just talking about physical stuff.

The Business Hoarder's Dilemma

We've all been there. Clinging to:

Outdated strategies that no longer work
Partnerships that drain more than they give
Beliefs that hold us back
Offers that aren’t selling

It's comfy. It's familiar. But it's slowly strangling your business.

Here's a wake-up call: Companies that regularly declutter are 45% more likely to achieve above-average growth. (Thanks, McKinsey!)

And if you want to scale your business, you’ve got to shed the excess!
