If I Started a Business Again in 2026, I'd Do This

So I've got my iPad here looking at some notes as I go through this.

So let's start off with part one, which is essentially start now, not later.

I think one of the biggest mistakes so many people make is they're waiting for the perfect time.

The perfect time is yesterday.

Okay.

Like you can't keep waiting.

Your ducks are never going to be in a row.

And if you wait for them to be in a row, like the opportunity is gone.

They've already gone on to something else.

Start now and And the most successful people understand that it's all about momentum and progress, not perfection.

So please do not let that hold you back from moving forward.

So once we get the feet in motion, here's a couple ideas and thoughts and lessons that I think serve you at this stage of your development.

Simplicity scales, complexity fails.

I'm not probably the first person you've heard this from, but the reality is this.

In business...

The simpler you are, the faster you'll, and probably the bigger you'll go too.

Just think of it like this.

If you are hiking and you had a knapsack with a ton of weights, like boulders and rocks and books in that knapsack, does that ascent feel harder? Of course it does.

Then if you didn't have the backpack on, and business is very much the same, is the more you take on in your business, the heavier it feels and the harder it is to move.

businesses die from bloating, not starvation.

And the biggest mistake that I made in my first business was not recognizing this.

And I overcomplicated things dramatically.

We had like, I think we had more than a hundred product SKUs and funnels back in the day.

And it was part of one of the reasons why I decided to sell that business.
