I love Amazon next day delivery (still haven't got same day yet) as much as the next person! But when it comes to starting from you… I enjoy the slower process! (it's far more powerful!)

I've had the pleasure of working with some
Jonathan Stewart:amazing minds in the past year.
Jonathan Stewart:And a lot of the time we've built systems.
Jonathan Stewart:Creating things to make their business just that little bit easier.
Jonathan Stewart:So they're not always having to do it and repeat things over and over again.
Jonathan Stewart:But one thing they often heard was the following.
Jonathan Stewart:I didn't realize that it was a slower process.
Jonathan Stewart:In today's world of rapid everything where I can hop on Amazon and order something
Jonathan Stewart:to arrive the next day, the feeling that things come fast is an assumption
Jonathan Stewart:that many people have me included.
Jonathan Stewart:But something I'm realizing on my journey as an, as I work.
Jonathan Stewart:I work with my clients is that the process is slower.
Jonathan Stewart:It takes time to craft something that really starts from you.
Jonathan Stewart:At the end of every episode of the season, I say we are constantly
Jonathan Stewart:bombarded by so many things.
Jonathan Stewart:No matter what you do, sometimes it can weigh you down.
Jonathan Stewart:It's only through a reflective practice where you question your assumptions and
Jonathan Stewart:the way you work, it can really reveal.
Jonathan Stewart:What's true for you.
Jonathan Stewart:The thing is I've rarely seen these conversations happen in the
Jonathan Stewart:business world because it's not sexy.
Jonathan Stewart:To.
Jonathan Stewart:So from, I can't push on pain points to make you buy things.
Jonathan Stewart:And I wouldn't really want to.
Jonathan Stewart:It's the slow road.
Jonathan Stewart:Now the slow road doesn't mean there isn't a feeling of progress because
Jonathan Stewart:there are so many things that could be solved incredibly simply once
Jonathan Stewart:you understand the way you work.
Jonathan Stewart:The bit, I love about my work.
Jonathan Stewart:Isn't really the tech it's about what it does for my clients.
Jonathan Stewart:The fact that when they're finished with me, it's not just a quick
Jonathan Stewart:fix that they'll need to come back in six to eight months time.
Jonathan Stewart:It's something that's still working.
Jonathan Stewart:Even now.
Jonathan Stewart:Hi client.
Jonathan Stewart:I worked with nearly three, almost four years ago now.
Jonathan Stewart:And they're still using a slight adoption of the system.
Jonathan Stewart:I designed for them.
Jonathan Stewart:Because when you follow the slow road, the progress, isn't something
Jonathan Stewart:that's built upon shaky ground.
Jonathan Stewart:It's built from a foundation of them.
Jonathan Stewart:Which is the one constant that exists in your system?
Jonathan Stewart:No matter what happens.
Jonathan Stewart:And they're able to evolve the system they naturally use, and it can shift
Jonathan Stewart:and adapt with them as they know.
Jonathan Stewart:What they want.
Jonathan Stewart:Sometimes going fast feels good, but often it skips the human at the center.
Jonathan Stewart:You.
Jonathan Stewart:By starting from you, no matter what happens, you'll
Jonathan Stewart:have an idea of what you want.
Jonathan Stewart:Have and can do.
Jonathan Stewart:Don't want to go in alone reach out to me at simplicity dash
