“When it comes to the things we work so hard for, we should ask ourselves: are they really worth it? Many aren’t useful, some are unnecessary, and others don’t hold the value we think they do.” - Seneca

Not everything we work hard for is worth the cost.

Many pursuits consume our time, energy, or resources without adding real value.

In sales, this lesson is critical. Are you chasing leads that aren’t a good fit or pouring energy into deals that won’t move the needle?

Declutter your pipeline. Focus on what truly matters: leads and clients that align with your goals.

When you trim the fat, you free yourself to invest where it counts.

Simplify. Prioritise. Succeed.

Actionable tips:

• Evaluate your pipeline. Identify which leads are truly promising and which are wasting your time. Focus on quality over quantity.
• Don’t be afraid to walk away from deals that aren’t going anywhere. Sometimes saying no can save you from bigger costs down the line.
• Revisit your tools and processes. Are you using tools that genuinely help you, or are they just adding complexity? Simplify wherever possible.

Remember you will die.
