Welcome back folks đŸ«Ą

This week’s Hyper Growth Blueprint covers:

  • ✋Why you should STOP doing so much

Stop doing so much.

I mean it.

We cling to the idea that more effort = more results.

In reality, it often clogs your mind and splits your focus.

I learned the hard way that doing more can sometimes bury you.

(And I’m still learning
)

  • Everything clutters your mind.

  • Everything divides your attention.

  • Everything slows you down.

The next few paragraphs are my attempt at distilling this core principle that I have personally struggled with a lot over the last 5 years of running my business.

My aim is to solidify the lesson for myself; which will hopefully be useful to you as well.

Let’s get into it
 👇

I have a programme called the Hyper Growth Accelerator where I work 1-1 w/ businesses.

Every week people ask me questions about new ideas


“Should I try a new webinar platform?”
“Should I post 17 times a day on social media?”
“Should I host a big, expensive conference?”

The answer is usually no.

Not because those ideas are bad.

But because they don’t address the single most pressing issue that’s holding them back.

It’s like clearing a motorway accident


Traffic can’t flow until you remove the wreckage.

No amount of fancy signposts will help if the pileup remains.

Once it’s gone, suddenly the entire motorway opens up.

That’s what happens when you focus on your primary constraint.

You clear the path, and momentum returns.

Ruthless focus is my teams mantra.

If an activity doesn’t fix the current constraint, we don’t touch it.

Or we push it to someone else if it can’t be tossed entirely.

It’s an approach that’s saved me from turning into a headless chicken on more occasions than I’d like to admit.

Let me give you a recent example
👇

Last quarter, our biggest constraint was lead volume.

We knew everything else - delivery, pricing, sales processes - was running smoothly



but we lacked new, high-quality leads.

So we cut down on non-urgent tasks like building out fancy dashboards or revamping old workflows.

Sure, those tasks might be important someday.

But NOT when your main issue is leads.

Once we sorted that out, we could allocate proper time to the rest.

How do you actually do this in practice?

This process boils down to three actions: Eliminate, Delegate, or Simplify.

Eliminate

Stop throwing resources at tasks that don’t push the needle.

If it won’t solve your biggest constraint, bin it.

You’ll be shocked at how many items on your to-do list vanish when you ask:

“Does this help with our main challenge, or is it just busywork?”

Be brutal.

You can always revisit your side tasks later if they become relevant.

Delegate

Maybe the task matters, but it doesn’t need to be YOU doing it.

This is one of the toughest pills for entrepreneurs to swallow.

Because we tend to think we’re the best at everything.

Truth is, if it isn’t about your current constraint, let someone else handle it.

Pass it to a colleague.
Outsource it.
Automate it with a tool.

You free yourself to focus on what truly matters.

Simplify

Sometimes the task still needs doing and has to be done by you



BUT you can trim the fat.

Don’t blow up a simple activity into a complicated circus.

Stripping away complexity keeps you and your team moving swiftly.

If it solves the constraint in a straightforward way, then brilliant.

Do it and move on.

The difference between successful businesses and limp, poor businesses is the leader’s ability to allocate resources.

Your budget, your time, and your brainpower are finite.

If you & your staff are scurrying off in every direction, you won’t allocate enough resource to tackle the immediate constraint.

This leads to a vicious cycle of partial fixes.

Never fully getting to the root cause.

By directing your resources toward the highest-impact area first, you ensure your team understands what truly matters and why it’s worth the effort.

This clarity not only boosts performance but also ignites a shared sense of purpose.

Nobody likes working on trivial nonsense that doesn’t move the dial.

Back when I tried to juggle everything, I was permanently exhausted.

One project would take twice as long, because I was constantly context-switching to handle something else.

My results were passable but never stellar.

Once I made the shift to focusing exclusively on the main blockage, it felt like someone handed me the skeleton key to unlock real, tangible results.

Free from the tyranny of “just one more thing”


I became more creative, more decisive, and more profitable.

So here’s the bottom line:

If your biggest headache is lead generation, fix that first.
If it’s customer retention, fix that.
If it’s your product, fix that.

Everything else goes to the bottom of the to-do list or gets binned completely.

As always, I hope this was useful.

Here’s to you to keep winning đŸ’Ș

Mega-Prompt of the Week đŸ€–
Use AI to Analyse & Purge your To-Do List

This prompt will get AI to analyse your current to-do list and help you identify what to Eliminate, Delegate or Simplify.

It should also assign an hourly rate for that task as either $10/hour, $100/hour, $1000/hour or $10,000 - based on the ROI of the task.

Enjoy
