Wall Street Journal Bestseller

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. It’s about designing the freedom to engage in the high-value work that brings you energy and fulfillment. This is at the heart of the message that has made Dan Martell the world’s most popular SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) coach. Now, in his first book, Buy Back Your Time, he teaches entrepreneurs at every level how to scale their business, fast, while avoiding burnout. Trading money for time—that is, literally buying back free space in your calendar—will give you more financial success than you ever dreamed was possible.

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.

Buy Back Your Time is the definitive guide for entrepreneurs at every level on how to succeed in business while enjoying more freedom than you ever imagined.

One thing I would have liked it to have gone into a little more depth on, seeing as coding is Dans claim to fame is a little bit more on AI automation to buy back your time. But I guess that's a whole other area of research I'm going to delve into next. overall solid read! highly relatable and I look forward to the day when I have my own Betty!

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 😉

Unbelievable.

You are going to learn a lot in this book. Every entrepreneur and even normal workers should read this book because what you can learn in it even applies to normal life to some extent

There are a lot of business books that say “work on your business rather than in it.” They talk about “building systems,” but none of them truly gave simple steps to off loading my workload. I finally see a clear path!! I plan to use this book as my official textbook for building my team, company, and dream life. So grateful! Will be listening monthly to soak it in! I’m that obsessed!

FINALLY! A simple and practical strategy to replace myself in my business and build my empire!

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.
