Subtraction Activist, Subtract to Succeed
November 19, 2026: 12pm-1:30pm, HAYVN Darien
Subtract to Succeed: Stop, Drop, and Roll for Sustainable and Satisfying Success
Key Takeaways
-
Spot your addition addiction: the reflex to add a service, channel, or commitment every time growth plateaus, and what it’s costing you.
-
Recognize your one eight-billionth: the specific work only you and your business can do, and the goals it’s truly for.
-
Learn (and practice) Stop, Drop, and Roll: a simple three-step method for letting go of good-but-not-right commitments without dropping the ball.
-
Choose one thing to drop this month: a platform, a client type, an inherited “should,” plus a low-risk way to test it.
-
Reinvest so the ripples grow: redirect freed time and energy toward your best clients, your best work, and your own joy.
What You’ll Gain
You’ll leave with a short, honest list of what to keep and what to release, a method you can reuse every time overwhelm creeps back in, and permission to do less without falling behind. Most of all, you’ll walk out with more energy for the work that actually grows your business, less resentment of your business and loved ones, and a clearer path to success that feels as good as it looks.
