Empires are Great!
(es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castillo_de_Hohenzollern)
Face it, some people are in the phase of life to go all-in for their business.
- Support the entire household
- Be a job creator
- Build a legacy
- Have global impact and influence
Those are great! Have at it!
Experts abound!
But it’s not for me. Been there, done that.
It’s just not that interesting any more.

What IS interesting is FREEDOM!
Freedom FROM |
Freedom TO |

|
And you get to enjoy a business where you can
- Contribute your highest gift
- Experiment – and keep or drop
- Express creativity
- Build on strengths and competency
AND STILL do what brings actual value to your life and business!
“Business minimalism refocuses resources towards the most significant areas of a business,
removing unnecessary processes and products.”~European CEO magazine
So what actually IS the difference?

Core objective is continuous growth “Never enough” No rest, never slow down |
Success by your own definition Conditions of Enoughness Values-based metrics, both financial and energetic |
“Make a killing” Domination The end justifies the means |
“Make a living” Ecosystem Build in personal and community growth |
Shaming, comparison “Go big or go home” Image making, performative lifestyle |
Build on strengths Authenticity and vulnerability Lifestyle choices come first |
High-ticket packaging Minimize 1-1 touch Pack more “bonuses” into package |
More accessible and affordable Intimacy Simple clear product |
Every marketing channel Long, complicated funnels Follow all trends in “what's working now” |
Focus single promise to single audience Single channel, simple access Marketing delivers part of the journey |
High investment in technology Dedicated team members Buy your way into expensive mentorship circles |
Integrate personal and business systems (productivity) Only the systems needed to do the job Humble mentors who deliver results |
*Note that many, many people are growing empires by being of true value and service. However there is a trend in the coaching and online marketing world to some of the attitudes mentioned here.
