On December 7th I will be hosting my final Growth Event.

And today I want to tell you the real story behind that decision. Because it goes a lot deeper than simply deciding to stop running an event. And I think there’s something in it for you too.

In this episode of Simple Business Dream Life I’m getting really honest about grief, growth and knowing when it’s time to let go of something you love. Even when it’s working. Even when you’re proud of it. Even when it feels a little bit heartbreaking.

In this episode I cover:

• Why I created The Growth Event in the summer of 2023 and what was really behind it
• What grief does to your confidence, your relationships and your sense of who you are in the world
• What happened in that room over 7 events and why I’m so proud of what it became
• Why something being good and successful isn’t always reason enough to keep doing it
• How this decision connects directly to everything I teach about simplification as a growth strategy
• The difference between letting go because something failed and letting go because it has served its purpose
• The question I’m sitting with myself and the one I want to leave with you

This episode is for you if you’re holding on to something in your business because you’ve always done it. Because you’re proud of it. Because other people expect you to keep going. If you know something needs to change but letting go feels too hard. If you’ve ever wondered whether growth sometimes means stopping something rather than starting something new.

You don’t have to wait until something is broken to decide you want something different.

Key Takeaways

• Just because something is good doesn’t mean you have to keep doing it forever
• Simplification is a growth strategy. And that applies to your own business decisions too
• Letting go of something successful isn’t failure. It’s clarity
• You don’t have to be miserable before you’re allowed to make a change
• Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is let go of something you love to make room for what comes next
