Groundhog Day is a comedy classic for 1993.

Bill Murray at his dry, acerbic best.

He’s Phil, a weather man who is reluctantly sent to cover a story about a weather forecasting “rat”, as he calls it.

This is his fourth year on the story and he makes zero effort to hide his frustration.

When he wakes up the ‘following’ day he discovers that it’s Groundhog Day again, and again, and again.

After a while, Phil realises that he’ll never escape Groundhog Day. That’s when he decides to kill himself.

But no matter how many times he tries, he keeps waking up back in his bed at 6:00AM onFebruary 2nd.

First he uses this to his advantage, then comes the realisation that he is doomed to spend the rest of eternity in the same place, seeing the same people do the same thing EVERY day.

Now that Phil has learned to forget about his ego he starts to become a better person.

This new approach to life pays off, as he wins the heart of Rita and finally escapes his imprisonment in Groundhog Day.

The movie is pretty dark but has a happy ending.

So can your Groundhog Day.

It boggles my mind how many people are doing things they feel they ‘should’ or ‘must’ do that just aren’t working for them.

The same things over and over with the same results over and over.

It’s not that they lack the talent, skills , experience or knowledge.

They often know there’s a better way and can outline what they really want to do.

They just don’t have the tools or permission.

They don’t need more ideas. Just a new day to execute them.

If you’re stuck in Groundhog Day I can help.

Tiny houses are all the rage.

It is a social movement where people are choosing to downsize the space they live in.

The typical house is around 200 square metres, whereas the typical tiny house is between 20 and 40 square metres.

Tiny houses come in all shapes and sizes but they enable simpler living in a smaller, more efficient space.

People are building tiny for a ton of different reasons but environmental concerns and the desire for more time and freedom are usually up there.

For most people 1/3 to 1/2 of their income is dedicated to the roof over their heads; this translates to 15 years of working over your lifetime just to pay for it…

Small is also beautiful when it come to business.

The typical business wants to expand.

More services, people, technology.

Often the only thing that’s added are costs and complexity.

The owner working harder for less freedom and income.

Distilling down to your core and only focusing on your premium output and clients often leads to less work for more money and time.

I’m doing the same.

This year I will be working with less clients and we are already seeing increased results and profitability.

If you’re looking for true growth, work out what can be trimmed and simplified.

Clients fired, ineffective systems ditched, unprofitable and unenjoyable services dropped.

Rather than looking for the sprawling mansion where you can’t even fill all the rooms, it might be time for your tiny house.
