The simpler the better
We all long for simplicity, but we often don’t realise what that means. We’re inundated with companies and people telling us their version of simplicity only to find they’re talking about complexity, not simplicity.

Summary
I’m still looking for a simpler backend for my blog. Companies that peddle simplicity often make things more complicated than they need to be. The simpler your workflow is, the happier your clients are, which is why I use Basecamp in my business, but now looking for a similar thing for my website and blog.

The quest for simplicity continues.
Well, as you know, as you’ve been watching my past few videos, I’ve been looking for a better back end for me to be able to write blog posts and post things to my website easier. So the website isn’t changing, but the back end is.
And every time I’ve found a new framework, a new system, a new platform, they make it look really simple, but then when you actually try to, get it to work, it’s really, really complicated and it doesn’t need to be. I just don’t understand why these companies who peddle simplicity actually make things more complicated than they are.
The simpler it is, the better it is. It depends.
It’s the same with running your business. The simpler your workflow is, the better output you’re going to get. And your clients are going to be happier because they don’t have to deal with complexity as well at their end.
And that’s one of, actually, that’s one of the reasons I’m looking at it now, one of the reasons I use Basecamp because it’s really simple. And when I do use Basecamp, I find that my clients tend to actually use it and communicate through it way better than they, in the past, where we used to do things via email.
So having that simplicity embedded in your business, embedded in the, where you work is better for everyone concerned, especially your customers and your clients and the people that you collaborate with.
Anyway, keep it simple, as I always say, have a great day, and I’ll see you in the next one. Ciao.
