How to Keep it Really Simple and Effective as a Result
By: Brian Kim - February 24, 2009
In this day and age, simplicity just doesn’t get enough credit. Perhaps because it’s too plain, too “blah”, too boring, but simplicity works and there is hidden beauty in it that few people fail to see.
It clears all the clutter and allows you to focus on the core issue at hand.
Because it allows you to focus on the core issue, it allows you to develop effective strategies from it that will produce effective results and if you make those strategies simple, it makes it very easy to do to the things you need to do to get the results you want.
Sometimes, when we’re not in a calm state of mind, we tend to rush into things and don’t objectively think them through– we just take action action action and hope something works, hope something just “sticks to the wall” and as a result, waste a lot of time, money, and energy that could’ve been saved had we just sat down and thought simplistically about what we wanted to do.
Let’s use an example in today’s world to illustrate the beauty of this simplicity and how it lends to producing effective results.
Let’s say a person lost their job due to the recession going on right now.
What do they want to do?
Keep it simple.
Maybe they just want to find a part time job to “float” on so they can spend some time figuring out exactly what they want to do.
What’s the simplest and easiest way to get there, to find that part time job to keep them afloat?
Have somebody refer them.
It’s simple and it’s easy because you can rely on other people’s knowledge of good part time job opportunities that you don’t know about and moreover, have them refer you to the person who’s in charge of those part time job opportunities.
Jobs based on referrals cut through all the red tape and push you in front of the line so you’re not just another resume in a stack of a hundred others. You’re not a “cold” lead, but a warm one.
Now that we know what strategy to use, what’s a simple way to take advantage of that strategy?
Maybe you can offer the people in your network a cash prize of $100 if they refer you and you get the job or maybe you can set up the person who refers you to the job on a blind date with someone else you know, someone you think they’ll hit it off with, or maybe you can do their chores for a month, etc.
Think of a great incentive and let the word out.
And maybe you can do that by simply contacting everybody you know on Facebook, call your friends, email them, tell your family, relatives, previous co-workers, bosses, etc.
What do you simply want to do?
What’s the simplest way to do it?
What are the next simple steps to take?
Simplicity gets you to focus on what you want, it cuts through the clutter to get you to focus on the core issue at hand, and it gets you to take simple action steps based on that core issue to produce effective results.
It’s easy to get things too overcomplicated. You can spend a lot of time, money, and energy just basically “cold calling” by blasting out resumes, cover letters to whatever’s available and feeling really bad when you’re not getting any results.
By focusing on that core issue – referrals, you can cut the time you spend in half and get double the results you want when compared to not thinking simply at all.
Simple works.
Keep it really simple by asking yourself simple questions with the word “simple” in them.
If you ask your mind questions with the right parameters, it will clear all the clutter of answers to within the range of those parameters. In this case, the parameter is “simple”.
What do you simply want to do?
What’s the simplest way to do it?
What are the next simple steps to take?
By keeping things simple, you gain focus and clarity on what you want and you zero in on the key, core issue at hand.
When you develop simple action strategies derived from that core issue, you’re bound to get effective results and by keeping those action strategies simple, it becomes really easy to do so it gets you to take action, builds confidence, and when those effective results come in, it starts that snowball effect that will give you more simple ideas and steps to take to get you from where you are to where you want to be.
And that’s the beauty of simplicity.
