Released in 2016, “Minimalism” is mostly geared toward consumers. The whole point of the film is that you can live a happy and fulfilling life with very few material items.
This same lesson applies to the business world as well.
Remember that profit isn’t simply about increasing sales — it’s also about reducing expenses. As an entrepreneur, resist the temptation to buy glossy business cards or spacious offices.
Instead, you could:
- Design your operations to be as lean as possible
- Avoid “owning” physical things whenever you can
- Rely more heavily on the new sharing economy
