For years, I’ve been a student and admirer of Amy Porterfield.
What most people don’t know is that early on, Amy had a silent business partner. When that partnership ended, she nearly lost her entire business.
I watched what followed in real time.
She worked constantly...
Long days.
Packed schedules.
Relentless output.
Yes...revenue grew, as did her visibility. From the outside, it looked like massive success.
But the pace wasn’t sustainable.
The real turning point came when her business became simpler and more intentional with structure that supported growth instead of consuming her life.
That’s why seeing her featured on the cover of Success Magazine made me smile:

The Multimillion-Dollar Pivot:The Art of Scaling Back to Scale Up
Simplicity didn’t slow her down. It made expansion possible.
And here’s the part I think gets overlooked…
Your goal doesn’t have to be building a multimillion-dollar empire.
Maybe it’s working fewer hours.
Maybe it’s breaking your first 5-figure month.
Maybe it’s finally feeling steady instead of stretched.
Whatever growth means to you, it shouldn’t require burnout or constant sacrifice.
To help suppor this ideal, I'm hosting the Simplify to Scale Summit.
It’s a free 3-day virtual event focused on making growth easier through clearer priorities, simpler strategies, and sustainable momentum.
Several of our expert speakers are part of this community, and the conversations are practical, grounded, and rooted in real experience.
If you want growth to feel lighter instead of heavier, this is a good place to begin.
