223: Five Principles That Helped Me Buy Back My Time
Are you over the endless revisions, the constant problem-dumping, and the time-wasting tasks that keep you stuck in the weeds? Then let’s change that, because scaling your business shouldn’t require sacrificing your sanity.
I’m sharing the five principles from Dan Martell’s Buy Back Your Time that have completely changed the way I work, hire, and lead. I’ve implemented them in my own business, and now my clients use them too, because they work. I believe in them so much that I created short videos on each one, and every new team member watches them before we ever work together.
In this episode of She Thinks Big, we’re talking about how to buy back your time on purpose. With tools that help you set clear expectations, delegate more effectively, and stay focused on what actually moves the needle. I’m walking you through how to apply each principle with real examples from my own business.
