Why Your Solopreneur Business Feels So Complicated
About this episode
Joe Casabona discusses the tendency to overcomplicate solopreneur businesses and offers insights on simplifying processes.
One of my favorite shows is Scrubs, and there's one episode that's stuck with me for nearly 2 decades, and I think about it nearly every day. In it, the team can't diagnose a patient showing every sign of Lyme disease, because they can't find the tick bite. Every test comes back negative. Then Dr. Cox shaves the patient's head, finds the bite, and mentions Occam's Razor: the simplest solution is often the correct one. That idea has run through my whole business; I'm a natural overthinker. So today I talk about why we overcomplicate things, and why tool hunting feels productive when it's really just busy work in disguise.
