6ers, "When things don't add up, subtract." In life and in business, we get so easily lost in the endless options we have that if we’re not careful can lead us to suffer the paradox of choice. The reality is, sometimes simplifying your life by decluttering can allow you to think more clearly and lead to discovering your own competitive edge.


This week, Tony Nash is joined by Scott Mackes is a US Navy veteran, entrepreneur, and leadership coach. Scott is the CEO and founder of Service Academy Business Mastermind (SABM) Group, a global community of military veterans who share resources, information, insights, and professional guidance to advance business ideas and opportunities.


You will learn the benefits of clearing your own path from distractions and subtracting things that are draining you so you can create a positive impact on your life. This will help you avoid clutter and noise that becomes an obstacle and complicates your life.


As a result, you will feel more connected with your purpose and you’ll be able to get the most out of anything and be exceptional. By eliminating and subtracting the unnecessary, your vision lens becomes clearer and more focused and expendable things can no longer slow you down.
