If someone said that your life or business was simple, would you take offence? Well Holly did when founding notonthehighstreet. However, it wasn’t until this lightbulb moment struck, that she recognised it wasn’t an insult. 

Holly suddenly understood the beauty in keeping things simple when speaking with Jo Tutchener Sharp, founder of Scamp and Dude, who coined her straightforward yet revolutionary business idea in a hospital bed, recovering from life-saving surgery. 

This week, Holly explains why there’s no shame in not over-complicating your business for the sake of feeling busy – and actually how this could in fact make or break you, and your business. Holly also reveals the secret ingredient to success that surprisingly, so few of us possess.
