Are You a Simplifier or a Multiplier? Idea Climbing™ Podcast Episode 27 With Bill Bloom

December 09, 2020

Recently I had a conversation about sticking with what you’re good at and delegating the rest with Bill Bloom. Bill is an abundant thinker, delegator and lifetime income specialist.  He just released his latest book, "Money Habits For Success."

The first thing that he brought up is that he knows that he is a simplifier and not a multiplier. Simplifiers take things that are difficult to understand and make them easy to do and understand. Multipliers, sometimes called influencers, multiply ideas and other messages into the world.

He takes retirement planning and simplifies it for people. Bill isn’t in the business of taking an idea, a book launch and multiply that into the world. He DOES work with multipliers that will do that for him. That’s a great piece of advice for you: If you’re not a multiplier or influencer don’t try to be one. Find those people to work with and stick to what you’re best at. On a day to day basis he takes complex situations and makes them easier to understand.

Building The Right Team To Get Things Done

The first thing Bill brought up when I asked him about hiring teams was personality tests. He uses one to assess potential candidates to find out if there’s a place on his team for them based on their personality.

Bill then went on to discuss a book he recently launched. Because he’s a simplifier he doesn’t have a far reach on social media. He reached out to his multiplier friends and asked them to share the book on LinkedIn and other social media outlets. Delegating things that you’re not good at is so important – find the people that LOVE to do what you HATE to do.
