Do Less, Better

2023 was an amazing year:

  • Twitter: 200M+ impressions & 125k+ followers
  • Linkedin: 65,000+ new followers
  • Newsletter: 0 –> 22k readers
  • Podcast: 140,000 downloads
  • Instagram: 25,000+ followers

And, we did it off the side of our desks.

While doing this with my wife, I still had a full-time job as the CFO of a large multi-family real estate development business with a team of 30+ people I oversee across:

  • IT
  • AP
  • Tax
  • Capital
  • Accounting
  • Financial Planning & Analysis

To say I’m tired would be an understatement.

We wrote about this in our newsletter Hitting the Wall on November 12th.

It got me thinking.

It got us making plans.

It’s when we realized, life’s got to change.

In January, I read this tweet from Kate Bourgoin and it resonated with where we’re going in 2024:

Big news coming next month on what the changes will be…but, I’m sure you’re starting to guess.

Bottom line, we’ll be doubling down on the Growth Guide on social media, the Podcast and the Newsletter with a heavy focus in 2024 on YouTube.

I’ll also be announcing a few businesses we’ll be unveiling over the next 12 months that are in various states of inception, some as individual businesses and some with partners.

To do this, we’ll need to do less.

We’ll need to focus on our priorities.

We’ll also need to make the big changes.

This was a Big Year – It changed our lives.

And, 2024 is going to make it seem TINY.

It’s going to be fun to share this journey with you and the lessons we learn along the way.

If you had to do LESS to do MORE, what would you do LESS of and what would you spend that time on to do MORE of?
