Mastery = Freedom
In this edition of The Simple Newsletter, I’m sharing some raw reflections on what happens when life collides with business—and how simplicity and mastery have become my anchor in the middle of it all. Recent events reminded me that while business isn’t always easy, it can be made simple when we commit to focusing on just one thing and getting really, really good at it.
