There was a great shift in my life when I turned 48. I wanted to learn more not because I didn’t enjoy learning before, but because I wanted to go deeper. I wanted to understand more about business success, spend intentional time studying the Bible, and really focus on personal growth. I came across Rabbi Lakin’s book, 40 Biblical Truths for Business, and his teachings sparked something in me.

I heard Rabbi Lakin say something that hit me hard: “Stopping what to do is more important than your to-do list.” That simple statement has been echoing in my spirit for years. The same message is shared in 10x Is Easier Than 2x by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy. Hearing it again reassured me because it’s exactly what I’ve been working on learning to simplify and prioritize.

I started looking over my schedule and focusing on what was really important. As I made progress, I began to notice the things I needed to remove from my calendar and it felt freeing. I couldn’t believe I had missed this before. But let me tell you, this process isn’t easy, especially if you’re an entrepreneurwhose income depends on your work. Cutting things out can feel risky because it might impact your livelihood.

Even so, I started looking at how to simplify further. I worked on budgeting better and living on less. I figured that if I could get used to living on less now, when more money starts coming in from my focused efforts, I’ll be in a better position to invest or give away the extra. It’s all about learning to focus on lessnow so I can do more later.

I won’t lie it’s hard. But it’s necessary. The books I mentioned earlier can help, but even after reading them, you’ll need to put these principles into practice every single day. I believe in you, and I promise that when you focus on less, it will change your life and business.
