Most entrepreneurs don't add new products because it's smart. They add them because they're bored, anxious, or chasing the next dopamine hit. In this episode, I break down the reason creating more offers usually hurts your business instead of helping it. I share the three questions you must answer before adding anything new, why your flagship product deserves 80% of your focus, and how distraction is the fastest way to kill momentum. Get ready to simplify your business, refocus your energy, and scale faster than ever. HIGHLIGHTS The three questions that tell you if it's actually time to create something new. Why "the money is in the monotony" and what that means for your next 24 months. Why adding more products usually decreases your income. One question to see if your current offer can actually scale to your income goals. How boredom quietly kills high-earning businesses.

Today, I share a moment from a conversation I overheard that perfectly revealed the difference between people who see opportunity and people who only see fear.

appreciate the encouragement to support the food service industry ect. ....but what about for those who are unsure if we will have a job in a month with the situation? Most people can't pay all the Bill's on EI...I'm thinking I need to save every dollar I can now so I can provide my basic nessistys for the next few months.
