THE SIMPLE WAY

She just cried her heart out.

Cried lots of tears.

Not sad tears, but fear tears, overwhelm tears, frustration tears.

I was in a women's networking event hosted by a CEO of a company that's helping business women/CEOs with their digital business.

One of the attendees, just cried while talking about a podcast she had to do.

She had to plan, organize, and put on air. 

The deadline was almost there and she hadn't accomplished much.

We all put in the chat box.

We hear you.

We can relate.

We understand the same feelings as any business owner will do.

The pain of starting, overwhelm, juggling lots of things, feeling imperfect.

Feeling not-put-together and better organized.

We sent lots of 'love' icons.

I believe she cried for all of us in the room.

There was no word to express the profound effect that had on us. 

She cried for all those that are trying and tried but failed, or tried but not seeing the results immediately.

She cried for all of those in the chat room who are just waiting for that breakthrough, within grasp but still felt distant.

A few years ago, I've come to know this academic woman who is now a speaker, author, and great achiever. After her speech in a conference I attended, she said that she met Deepak Chopra and just cried on his shoulder. Like an ugly cry. 

Meltdowns will be more frequent if we keep on adding to the plate.

I observe the Pareto principle- 20% of effort will drive 80% of your results.

I go straight to the source of business.

If it's too indirect, or just a maybe, I won't do it.

That's the simple way.

Let's just do 1-2 things we are very excellent at.

Forget about the gurus who don't do what they preach. 

​Let's get back to the basic and enjoy the peace of mind and mental health.

After all, this is a marathon, not a sprint. 

And being rich is literally means being whole.
