Summary
What 1-3 decisions could you make that would dramatically simplify your life?
I (Ryan) asked myself this question earlier this year, and it served as a "forcing function" for me to make hard decisions in my life and business. What would my business look like if it was simple? What could become possible if I had more time to think? What skills might I learn if I had more mental capacity?
In this episode, I share some of the decisions that I made - and am considering making - in order to free up more space, and how I plan to use that new capacity to serve at a deeper, more meaningful level.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, everyone, welcome back to capitalism.com. I'm Ryan Daniel Moran. As I record this episode for you today, it is opening day for baseball season. And for those of you who know me at all, you know that I am a huge Cleveland Guardians fan. It is the thing that I look forward |
| 0:21.6 | to every day knowing that there is going to be a baseball game on. So I am crawling out of my |
| 0:27.6 | six-month coffin where there was no baseball on TV, and I can't wait. I can't wait to have |
| 0:34.7 | something to look forward to every single day. So I'm in a good mood today and I wanted to sit down with you and share a few decisions |
| 0:41.9 | that I have made to give myself a little bit of a simpler life. |
| 0:45.6 | And I've taken inventory of the things that bring me the most energy, the most excitement |
| 0:52.0 | and how I am structuring my businesses in order to support and promote those. |
| 0:58.3 | At the beginning of this year, I set out one goal for myself and it was to create more space. |
| 1:06.8 | I didn't have an idea of what I wanted to create space for, but I just wanted more white |
| 1:12.1 | space in my calendar. |
| 1:13.5 | I wanted to have more time to allow whatever wanted to emerge to come through. |
| 1:21.8 | Because the reality of being a podcaster and a YouTuber and an advisor to a lot of businesses is that sometimes |
| 1:30.4 | you can get on a hamster wheel of just doing a whole bunch of stuff. |
| 1:35.7 | In the business that I am in at capitalism.com, there are times in which it feels like |
| 1:41.8 | I got to make content in order to sell more programs so that I can |
| 1:45.7 | pay my team and so that I can keep clients happy. And that hamster wheel of just doing more |
| 1:52.9 | in order to keep the business going is really exhausting. And so I've taken a little bit of a step |
| 1:59.3 | back to reevaluate what is the best use of my time |
| 2:03.4 | and what is the best thing for the people that I serve, for the people who are loyal listeners |
| 2:09.8 | of the podcast and are in our programs. |
| 2:14.5 | And what I was kind of emerged out of that surprised even me. Last year, I went through a |
