In a culture obsessed with doing more, Melissa Smith The PVA makes the countercultural case for doing less—ruthlessly. This episode is your permission slip to subtract, simplify, and streamline your business so you can focus on what actually moves the needle.

Melissa shares lessons from bestselling authors like Dan Pink and Gary Keller (The One Thing) and shows how successful entrepreneurs stay laser-focused on high-impact tasks. You’ll learn how to identify your MITs (Most Important Tasks), protect your golden hours, and train both your team and yourself to say “no” to low-value work.

If your to-do list never gets shorter, this episode will challenge how you think about productivity—and how hiring the right VA can help you do less, ruthlessly.
