We got into why business doesn't have to be as hard as we make it \u2014 and the very specific ways we make it harder anyway. Paralysis dressed up as &quot;still figuring it out.&quot; Solving the wrong problem instead of the real one. Drifting away from the basics because they're not exciting enough to post about.  This is a real, live conversation \u2014 not a polished presentation. A few attendees joined in too, and one of them said the line that's stuck with me since: &quot;the little things are the big things.&quot; That's really the whole point.

Next time something feels harder than it should, ask yourself what it might actually be downstream of.  ---- Sometimes overcomplication isn't a sign something's broken. It's a sign you're ready to grow \u2014 and it's time to shift how you're running things. A good place to start is just seeing clearly how you're currently operating as an entrepreneur.
