Why I Canceled 13 software subscriptions (revenue doubled)

Just had a conversation that hit different...

A founder was bragging about their "enterprise tech stack."

opens laptop shows 47 different software subscriptions

I almost spit out my coffee.

Not because of the number of tools...

But because I've seen this movie before. And I know exactly how it ends:

  • Teams drowning in complexity

  • Data scattered across platforms

  • Nothing talking to each other

  • Money bleeding every month

  • Growth completely stuck

Here's the truth nobody wants to hear...

The most successful companies I work with? They run on 3-4 tools. MAX.

One client switched from 15 tools to just 3. Result? Revenue doubled in 90 days.

Why?

Because simple scales. Fancy fails.

Think about it...

Every new software you add is:

  • Another thing that can break

  • Another system to learn

  • Another integration to manage

  • Another subscription to pay

  • Another potential security risk

But here's the real kicker...

The biggest companies in the world run on surprisingly simple systems.

Amazon? Built their empire on spreadsheets. Apple? Known for ruthlessly cutting complexity. Tesla? Elon literally bans unnecessary software.

Meanwhile...

I see 2-person startups running more complex systems than Fortune 500 companies.

Make it make sense. 🤔

Here's what nobody tells you about scaling:

The easier your system is to understand, the easier it is to:

  • Train new employees

  • Fix problems

  • Make improvements

  • Scale operations

  • Actually grow

Every extra tool? Just another anchor slowing you down.

I've mapped out our complete "minimal tech stack" system in the Discord. The exact setup that's running 7-figure businesses with just 3-4 core tools.
