💡 CheatCode #111: Subtract to Scale
Growth isn’t addition — it’s elimination.
“He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight.” — Sun Tzu
When systems stall, most people add: more tools, more meetings, more layers of approval. But Sun Tzu warned that knowing when not to engage is what wins the war. Strategy isn’t about addition — it’s about precision.
Every extra initiative, metric, or meeting you keep past its usefulness divides your focus and dulls your edge. The best leaders don’t chase expansion; they engineer clarity.
Why it works:
✅ Reduces decision load and error rate
✅ Clarifies true priorities
✅ Restores speed and simplicity
Today’s Challenge:
Kill one recurring task, rule, or report that no longer moves the mission.
Final Thought:
“Victory favors the minimalist strategist.”
