If you want to speed up your path to success, you need to slow things down. Six months ago, Amy and I decided to move back from Colorado to our home state here in Wisconsin. And I have never felt happier, healthier or more productive. Why? We have simplified things. What do I mean? Number one, we got rid of the noise. We don't have traffic here. You want to get somewhere? Takes 10 minutes. If I want to go grab coffee with mom and dad, I'll be there in five. The water tower down the street says life happens naturally. Here you see, success is not about adding more and doing more and going, going, going. It's about subtracting. It's about getting rid of the unnecessary so you can focus on what matters most. It's about removing yourself from the noise so you can get clear. You have to stop forcing things and just let them happen naturally.
