You should lean into this. As was the consequence that founders self sabotage, stall or sell as they can’t face the idea of growth adding to their workload. We don’t realize how much time it can save us. We just don’t know what we don’t know. As such, people don’t realize how many untold hours they could be saving by delegating some of their routine tasks.

Delegate the areas where you’re value neutral. These are the things you’re ambivalent about doing in your day-to-day life and could live without performing (e.g., cooking, driving, making appointments). What I especially liked though was how the book gives practical instructions on how to make the changes needed and makes it all seem achievable. I could share a million other examples from my own life: Like me scoffing at flying business class or shopping at Nordstrom vs. T.J.Maxx (shoutout to TJ for outfitting me for years). When I was in college, I didn’t really understand phrases like, “As I became busier, my time became more valuable.” But as my business grew, I started to understand. I only had 24 hours in a day and I found myself doing things that I would have done as a poor college student…only now I was running a business. If you judge books on the number of action points to take from them then this one is not just one of my favourites but right up there as number one.So, let's talk a little bit about what to expect regarding an increase in your retirement pension. Take a look at a real-life example: They say those that can’t do teach, but not here…. Dan did it, then masterfully taught it. A book on living a life you don’t want to retire from and how to live your retirement dream today.”- Garret Gunderson, New York Times bestselling author of Killing Sacred Cows Level four is sales—hiring a salesperson, but only when the first three levels are filled. If not, you’ll have someone who doesn’t have enough leads to make money and they’ll quit within three or four months. Hire a salesperson who can do all the initial calls as well as the follow-ups. To see what I mean, simply take a look at people whose businesses are one to two levels larger than yours. Notice how they spend money and time. Is it different than your spending? I bet it is. It’s no surprise that the more successful an entrepreneur is, the more differently they think about time and money. If they didn’t, they would never make it to the next level.

What you’re currently doing: Cooking every one of your meals and trying to figure out why your food doesn’t look like it does in the pictures online EVEN THOUGH YOU FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS. A no-nonsense playbook for how to build a thriving business empire all while living your best life. Dan Martell makes complex systems as simple as 1-2-3.”- Lewis Howes, New York Times bestselling author and host of The School of GreatnessThat’s why if you strapped me to a chair, and told me I had only one more episode left to share with you, these would be my parting words. Yes, you could do it yourself. But you don’t have to. I’m into fitness. I could theoretically read a ton of material on bodybuilding, structure my diet, and follow through myself, saving tons of money. However, I know I’ll never be as efficient as my trainer, who lives and breathes fitness. His knowledge compounds, while fitness would just be a secondary focus for me. But by paying him, I can trade money for time and get the best outcome — efficient training, great results. Again, I could do this myself…but I don’t have to. For example, I remember being 15 years old and reading tons of PC magazines as I learned how to build my own computer, figured out which Pentium processor to get, and compared the video cards that would let me play Duke Nukem best. Now? I just buy a Mac. The secret to engineering your perfect week—and then, your perfect year—to ensure you’re fully focused on what matters most
