Keep It Simple, Stupid (K.I.S.S.)

Most of us have heard this term before but it's so easy to forget what it really means, especially in business.

When I worked as an advertising representative for a magazine, my publisher told me to design ads using the K.I.S.S. formula (keep it simple, stupid) This method worked well; I quickly created clean, crisp, successful ads for my clients. But, when I forgot the formula, I would struggle.

Are you struggling in your life of business? Maybe your business or life just needs a kiss.

Where can you apply the formula? Maybe you can simplify your sales technique, closing the sale, administrative work, marketing plan, email communications, financial plan...

Take this week and see what's complicating your life. Make a goal of using the K.I.S.S. formula and see how it saves you time, energy and your sanity and yes, even money.

Feel free to email me on how this works for you. I'd love to hear how this works.

Take care and happy escaping,
