The premise of 'keep it simple' has been widely used and helpful for many people in many scenarios. It's about not overcomplicating things which can leave room for problems to develop.
'Keeping it simple' also applies to business. As a business owner, the more complicated you make things, the more steps that you add in a process, the more errors you may be introducing into your business.
Just like the children's game of 'telephone' where a secret message is whispered from one child to the next until the end result is nothing like the original message, the more steps your business processes have, the greater the chance of an error developing.
The key to keeping it simple at work is elimination. Look at all of the steps in a particular task and ask yourself these important questions:
If yes, then carry on!
If the answer is no, then remove the step and shorten the process.
Unnecessary complexity costs your business time and money, so remember to simplify whenever you can. Your time, energy and money can be better spent somewhere else in your business.
