The complexity ceiling is the point where growth starts to feel hard. Not because you’re incapable. But because everything has become too complex to run well. This shows up in business during fast growth and in life during big moments, like having a child. It’s not a capacity problem. It’s a subtraction problem. You haven’t removed what no longer matters. If nothing changes, the same problems stay To break through, something has to go. Does this show up more in your business or life? #leadership #businessgrowth #scaling #simplicity #decisionmaking #entrepreneurship #systems #mindset

The complexity ceiling is the point you reach in your business or life where all of the systems, all of the happenings become far too complex to operate efficiently. So this typically happens when in business you blow really quickly. When you go through a period of accelerated growth, you reach this ceiling in life that's more applicable with big events or major events like having a child, for example, and you realize that as your child comes into the world on reflection, you realize how simple your life actually was prior to that, speaking from experience, and how much more efficient you need to be moving forward to actually get the same result. So the way to break through that is all about reformulating how you think about tools, rules, and even the hires that you have because it's not actually complexity is not a capacity problem. It's actually a subtraction problem. You haven't gotten rid of the task that you don't need to do and simplified in order to grow. So said another way, if you continue to do the same things as you're doing today, you continue to have the same problems as you do today. So what you're doing actually needs to change. So ceiling complexity, it's not a capacity problem. What is a capacity problem, but the way that you beat that is by subtraction.
