Achieve More by Doing Less, with All-Star Researcher Leidy Klotz

In this episode of Real Relationships Real Revenue, I sat down with Leidy Klotz to talk about the mindset of subtracting versus adding. Often when we want to make something better, we want to add to it, but sometimes the answer is actually to take something away. Lady is here to explain this concept to us and show us how we can apply that to our work in our organizations for increased success. 

 

Topics We Cover in This Episode: 

• Why we automatically think to add instead of subtract
• Strategies to decide when to add and when to take away
• How the rule of three applies to this concept
• How to apply the idea of subtraction to deepening relationships
• Subtracting things to get your time back
• What to do when you’re finding yourself overwhelmed
• How to figure out what to subtract 
• How we can be more successful in managing our energy
• The power of a to-don’t list 

 

I hope you enjoyed this conversation with Leidy! As he says, when you add something, you are saying no to every other possible thing so it’s very important to be mindful about what you add to your plate as opposed to taking away.
