Simplify
November 8th, 2009 by KenricWhen I moved to Arizona over 5 years ago, all of my belongings fit into the back of my SUV. Now when I walk through my house I can’t help but feel that I’ve accumulated a whole bunch of stuff again. I don’t know how it happens but I feel like I’m back in 2004 when I had a house full of stuff and I had to sell it all to move.
I may need to do an ebay or craigslist mass sale soon to pare down my stuff.
I’ve also noticed that my ebizes are getting way too complicated. In an attempt to expand them and carry more products, the businesses don’t feel streamlined. Ideally I want to return them back to 2-3 suppliers at the most. I want to be able to show someone how to run this business in less than an hour. So what I’m going to do is lower my selection on a few things. I feel that here is no need to have a supplier who only supplies 1 or 2 products in the store. I want my store flowchart to be simple and fit on a single piece of paper.
In addition, I need to simplify my finances too. I have way too many bank accounts. I need to start closing some and consolidating them. Same goes for credit cards, although the CC companies are helping me out by closing some of my accounts for me.



Had the same problem as you. Now I have just two bank accounts and 2 credit cards – one for auto debit and one for fuel and such. Makes finances more transparent and easier to organize.
