Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.
— Dr. Seuss*
As an online business creator, you’re no stranger to complex questions:
Which niche should I choose? What platform should I focus on? How do I grow an audience? What product should I launch next?
These questions can spiral into days or even weeks of overthinking. They often carry emotional weight—fear of failure, perfectionism, and the pressure to get everything “right.” But what if you’re complicating something that doesn’t need to be?
This is where Dr. Seuss drops a powerful truth bomb: The questions are complicated, but the answers might be simple.
Let’s take “Which platform should I focus on?” You could analyze metrics, compare algorithms, and study countless influencer breakdowns. But maybe the simple answer is: The one you actually enjoy using. The platform where you naturally show up, engage, and create will likely be where you succeed—not because of a formula, but because of your consistency and energy.
The same applies to content. “What should I post?” is a question that torments many. But the simple answer might be: Share what you’re learning. Teach from your own growth. That’s not only authentic—it’s deeply valuable to others on the same path.
As creators, we often delay decisions, thinking we need more data, more validation, or the perfect timing. But the truth is, clarity often comes through action—not more contemplation. You don’t need a 3-month content plan before posting. You need to post once and see what resonates. You don’t need a detailed funnel before launching a product. You need to ask your audience what they want and make the MVP.
Simplicity doesn’t mean laziness. It means trusting your instincts and stripping away unnecessary friction.
When you’re stuck in a loop of complicated questions, try flipping the script:
-
What would this look like if it were easy?
-
What would I do if I wasn’t afraid?
-
What’s the most obvious next step?
These simple answers often feel too easy—because we’re trained to think success must be hard. But in the world of solopreneurship, progress often comes from simple actions done consistently.
Start small. Ship fast. Trust your gut.
The most powerful moves in your business might be hiding behind simplicity.
