Ep. 76 - Grow Your Business By Working Less

How many of you business owners want to grow your business by working less? Of course you do but it seems a little far fetched doesn’t it? Not exactly. You see, the average business owner spends 65% of their working day on activities that do not lead to growth. That means, very little of their time is dedicated to those ON the business activities that will build the business. 

So if you are able to effectively shift your time to more ON the business type activities, you will see greater growth without having to put more hours in. In fact, if you adjust your priorities properly and are able to offload more busy work, you’ll actually work less hours.

We realize it’s easier said than done but it is possible. So take a listen to this week’s episode and work less but do more.
