It is important to understand when to walk away.
There has been times in my short career (3 years) where I have needed to walk away from my desk, from Twitter, from Facebook, from website design and graphic design… to just step away and re-evaluate where I was headed and where I wanted to go. We all work as hard as we can to get ahead in life and yet the best thing we can do sometimes… is to walk away.
The communication and technology worlds are creating an explosive.. fast paced world. Everyone is trying to stay on top of the trends and trying to pull ahead. I want to encourage everyone to slow down and look internally before deciding how to communicate with the external market. Sometimes you need to simplify before you maximize.
I recorded this video last year when Brandswag was still working out of my apartment. Ahhh the days of a start-up. It talks about simplifying your life in order to reconnect with why you started your business or job in the first place.
Please ignore the spray can in the back.. behind my head.

Great advice!
I think you should do more video on your blog.
I love it!
More focus=more success. I think that's something I need to do with my current consulting platform. I don't know how to package myself specifically in order to attract new business. I have really broad and varied offerings…but nothing tremendously specific. Thanks for the advice Kyle.
Very on point. My company recently dropped wordpress hosting from our service offerings because it simply wasn't something we were strong at. That and it was taking up way more of our time than anything else and the revenue wasn't matching the time. It started as something we did for our clients to offer one contact for all their web needs but it's just taken our focus away from what we're good at.
Simplifying also reduces your personal stress which obviously makes for a stronger business.
