Simplicity (Rerun) | TSMP #085

K.I.S.S. Your Audience! (Keep It Simple, Silly)

We noticed that many of our listeners are interested in making their performances and businesses simple. In one of our previous episodes, we had discussed simplicity in great detail. Here’s a rerun of that episode to help you simplify your life.


Simplicity is the major factor in running a successful entertainment business. The simpler your routines are, the clearer it is for your audience. If you declutter your websites, it becomes easier to run the business. And simplifying the business experience for your clients will help you get more leads.
