I've been in business since 2001. I've read hundreds of books on business. In my opinion, Buy Back Your Time is the best, most actionable, most practical and most straightforward book on business I have read. I own it in hard copy and on audible. I also had the pleasure of being on a Zoom call where Dan was our guest speaker and he delivered more value per minute than anyone I've heard speak!
Awesome stuff as usual, Dan. I'm starting to put the stuff you've taught me into practice. I'm recording myself and my team doing things so we don't have to teach it over and over. I've been shedding tasks that eat my energy and time and focusing on keeping the things that build me up even if they look like a waste of time for me to be doing. I'm not actually the owner of my business. I am the team lead. I'm adapting the things you've taught me to work in this environment where more time doesn't necessarily lead to more money for me, but it definitely leads to less stress. Next step is doing what this video teaches. I realize (by design) I've been very unintentional with my calendar to allow for my team to get me whenever they need me. I feel like it's important to be a servant leader but I'm also trying real hard not to be the doormat leader. I think being more intentional with my time will help that. One thing I've started doing on my calendar that you didn't mention is scheduling breaks. Maybe, as you go through the buy back look you need this less, but a full day of meetings every day, for me as an introvert, leaves me with no energy for my family. I've become judicious with my meetings and schedule in at least half an hour to not be in a meeting (it was supposed to be I don't work, but it's actually become catching up on email). Typing all this out makes me realize I still have a ton of work to do. Thanks so much for all the awesome knowledge you've passed on. It's working for me. I guess I have to go buy the audio book now if there's extra stuff in there the hard cover didn't have!
I am reading your book and each chapter is changing my mindset and I am implementing as I read. This book has given me sanity as I was at my painline 😅. You are literally reading my mind throughout the book and giving me solutions. I have a goal of 10x my company in 1-2 years 7figure to 8figures as well as do charity work. With this book I am well equipped to scale🙌🏽🙌🏽. Best book I have read and it came at a perfect time. Thank you Dan ! So far: Hired my mother in law - to help with my young kids two days week. Reached out to a recruitment agency to find me administrative assistant. If there are any live calls you have, I would love to listen in🙌🏽
Thank you so much Dan. I feel the same as the other person. Too many camera switches for me personally. It seems there is a balance of interesting and distracting... Great content! Awesome tips. Thank you sooo much for your time!
Your content is amazing. It just resonates with me so much. The ADHD, high energy straightforwardness... I'm the same! One day I hope to do coaching with you!
I just saw the original golf ball, pebble, and sand video on Instagram or something else then open RUclips to have this video suggested to me where he talks about the same thing. Wow, the algorithms are working hard
Are there any templates and actionable things that you assist with as well? I’m sold on the concept. I’ve been sold for some time. But still have to make the time to do the step by step integration. Can someone assist?

I've been implementing these things and am 10X more productive.

That's huge. Congrats on buying back your time.
Glad you got the Audio with Bonuses per chapter... they were a lot of fun to shoot.

Are there any templates and actionable things that you assist with as well? I’m sold on the concept. I’ve been sold for some time. But still have to make the time to do the step by step integration. Can someone assist?
