Welcome to Day 25 of the Double Your Profit Series
The go-to series for contractors, home service owners, and small business entrepreneurs.Today’s topic is one of the most important lessons I’ve learned in scaling a business: Cut Complexity. Or, as I like to say: Simple is Scalable. 🧠 Why Simplicity Wins Complexity creeps in quietly — through overbuilt processes, too many services, or redundant systems. It feels like “good business” at the time, but in reality it slows growth, increases mistakes, and burns headspace on things that don’t move the needle. The truth: simplicity scales, complexity breaks. The businesses that grow the fastest and run the smoothest are almost always the simplest.
💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why “friction points” in your business are usually a sign of unnecessary complexity The danger of over-engineering processes (25-step checklists vs. 3–4 clear actions) How simplifying your service offering makes training, marketing, and expansion easier
