My journey as a minimalist entrepreneur

Second, I decluttered my marketing strategies

Online gurus will tell you you have to do 517 things to be successful, and online course teachers will tell you what has worked for them. And again, we circle back to worrying about all the time starting a successful online business will take, and we worry that we’ll never have enough time for everything that’s on a business owner’s to-do list. 

Time time time. 

Instead of going crazy since I’m only human, and should only work 8 hours a day or less (my life goal is to work 3 days a week although I’m not there yet), I decided to choose the path of tidiness in all its forms.

I spend most of my time planning. Making to do lists. Organizing my schedule, batch-producing content, batch-working on client projects, etc. When you get in the habit of planning, you’ll start to see that hitting those goals is not as hard as it seems if you stick to a schedule. So there’s the secret, there’s no hidden agenda here I promise. You don’t need a 10k marketing coach (although if you want to hire one great), but what you do need is a plan. 

Third, I choose to do more with less daily

Since living my life and enjoying every moment is my top priority, the third principle that has allowed me to apply minimalism to my journey as an entrepreneur has been to choose to do more while managing to work less.

This shift in mindset had a massive impact on my pricing and overall offerings. I constantly see memes and opinions from entrepreneurs that say that now that they have a business they work 24/7, and I feel this is so wrong. If you work 24/7 in your business you may be doing something wrong, and the whole point of having a business is to create something beautiful that will allow you to profit from it and have a decent work-life balance.

So with that being said, it has been essential for me to always question the way I do things. “Could I charge more and go all in with my clients so that I can have more profit with one single client vs having the same mediocre profit with 30 new clients?”. “Do I see myself having the 7 figure income because I want a 7 figure income, or will I be satisfied with an income that just allows me to be happy? “Why would I need 7 figures, I don’t need another house or car”.

You get the idea. 

Becoming a minimalist entrepreneur is not about the money, it's about the impact 

And I feel that so many people have it wrong. Starting a business should be about helping others and making an impact on people's lives. If your brand does that, I sincerely pat you on the back, and if you need help with getting there, don’t be afraid to say hi.
