Taking a Subtractive Approach to Business with Ashley Gartland
As a business owner, it’s easy to get overwhelmed thinking that you have to keep doing more and more in order to keep up with everyone you see online. But as a business owner, wife, and mom, I’ve found that constantly adding more isn’t effective for me or my business, which is why I’m so excited to have Ashley Gartland back on the show to talk about taking a subtractive approach to business. We talk about why so many of us have the tendency to keep adding more and why the subtractive approach is different. Ashley shares the key areas where you can apply this to your business and what it can make possible for you as a business owner. We also talk about how to know if this is the right approach for you and your business.
