Learn to conquer the one real hurdle to scaling your company and growing rich: Time
How you use your free time will make or break your success. The secret? It’s not about working harder or finding more time to do work.

With over two decades of experience as a serial entrepreneur and founder, Dan Martell will teach you the secrets to work less and play more while building an empire. He’ll dig into the practical steps that will allow you to start buying back time immediately, while also developing operating procedures and hiring practices that will ensure rapid and robust growth. And he will teach you how to invest in your newfound time wisely—at work and at home—so you keep building your empire while living your best life.

A business parable about how to create a start-up that won't trap you when you want to sell it. According to John Warrillow, the number one mistake entrepreneurs make is to build a business that relies too heavily on them. Thus, when the time comes to sell, buyers aren't confident that the company-even if it's profitable-can stand on its own. To illustrate this, Warrillow introduces us to a fictional small business owner named Alex who is struggling to sell his advertising agency.

Teaches you how to save yourself from yourself
Forever grateful that Dan took the time to share his experiences and life lessons. As an entrepreneur building my business with my wife, we have hit every hurdle Dan mentioned. We shared all the excuses and reasons why we did what we did. Stalling, not defining DOD, not setting goals and self sacrifice and hurting relationships of those around us.
We have made so many changes in our business and lives as we read this book. We are reading the book again and had the luxury of Dan speaking in our Mastermind last week. Dan is the real deal.
Thank you for helping us become the people we want to be.

Unbelievable.
This book, literally, just changed my life. I recently hired a VA but had no idea how to leverage the new hire to allow me my ultimate life and business goal; Freedom of Time. This book was the guiding light I needed and I strongly encourage ANY entrepreneur, or any ambitious pros out there, READ DAN’s BOOK! I’ve personally joined Dan’s coaching program simply based on the results I’ve seen from this book alone. Believe me, I went from FULL stress and overwhelm mode, to the point of being physically sick from the “how do I manage all the shit coming at me”, to having clarity and a clear path to follow while delegating and getting myself back on track to building my empire 😎. Cannot thank Dan and his team enough for this book, I hope to someday shake this man’s hand. Buy the damned book. Just read it. You’ll understand once you dive in 😉
