Buy Back Your Time, by Dan Martell, Gave Me My LIFE Back Too
$100,000,000+ worth of business lessons, condensed into 250 pages
Your time is for sale, and you can buy it back at bargain basement prices if you have Dan Martell’s playbook.
This book contains the exact systems and processes he used to build a $100M holding company, and it helped me read a lot more books, so they can work for a wide variety of people!
One of the most useful calculations in the book concerns your “Buy Back Rate,” meaning the dollar value you assign to your time.
Briefly, if there’s a task that someone else can do pretty much as well as you can, for less than your hourly rate, you offload it to someone else. That’s a fairly simple one, and lots of time management books cover it, but there’s a lot more in here too, like the DRIP Matrix, the 1:3:1 Rule, and others.
Bottom line, though, Buy Back Your Time is about finding creative and profitable ways to use a readily-available renewable resource (money) to reclaim the most valuable non-renewable resource in the entire freaking universe: your time.
Business owners and professionals are likely to derive the most value from this book, as that’s where the majority of Dan’s experience comes from.
