This morning I was having coffee with a couple of friends and chatting about life...

One of them, the youngster of the group at a ripe old age of 24, is looking to get into business and is having trouble figuring out what path to go down...

Because, as he said, there are so many options to choose from, and so many ways to succeed, he feels confused on where to go.

So, we told him, instead of focusing and choosing from all the options available, you need to start eliminating them...

Ask yourself what your vision is for the next 5-10 years, which will eliminate a portion of the options...

Then ask yourself what your strengths are and how those translate into building a business, which scales the options down more...

Then start talking to people about their experience in certain types of businesses, or try getting job in the industry for a few months, and slowly more options will whittle away.

Often times, we tend to want MORE options rather than LESS.

We think that, by having MORE options we're more likely to find the PERFECT match.

But, research regularly and consistently shows, those that choose from a BUNCH of options are, on average, less happy with their choice than those that choose from fewer.

So, eliminate rather than expand your options.

Simplify instead of making things complex.

Life will be much easier and, on average, you'll be much happier.

Until next time, here's to your 1% growth everyday...
