We feel guilty when we spend on convenience. A lot of people look at things like ride-sharing apps and house cleaners like unnecessary luxuries despite how helpful they can actually be. This is shaped by culture, society, and our upbringing. Plus you can use that time to invest in another income stream like a freelance side hustle or your own business and make even MORE money. As was the consequence that founders self sabotage, stall or sell as they can’t face the idea of growth adding to their workload. Dan Martell is an entrepreneur, angel investor, and thought leader. In 2016 he founded the SaaS Academy. Dan is literally the only coach I recommend to founders, and it’s because he is truly world-class. His frameworks are the gold standard. I’m grateful to call him a mentor and friend.”- Leila Hormozi, CEO of Acquisition.com
CSRS NOTE: The rules and percentages are a bit different if you were originally under CSRS and then transferred to FERS. If that is your case, please reach out for assistance.We LOVE being busy. People relish being busy even if the time spent isn’t worthwhile. It makes us feel like we’re getting a lot of work done when, in reality, we’re getting WAY less done than we could.
The spouse or former spouse of a deceased federal employee who was entitled to receive a retirement annuity. This is for the creatives in the crowd: the podcasters, artists, those that feel what they do is very unique and special, that no one else can do. Eighty percent done by somebody else is 100 percent awesome. The first 10 percent is the ideation and you do this with the person that’s going to own the process. It’s your opportunity to talk about the creativity, the through line, the storyline and the outcome goals and all aspects of the desired needs. Then the 80 percent is the person taking that information and moving it forward through research, prototypes, outlines or drafts—someone who can take your concepts and turn them into a first draft. The last 10 percent is the integration: taking something that’s almost finished and adding your finishing touches to it like someone would in a restaurant. When the plate comes out, they give it a final look, put the garnishes on it, clean the side of the plate, and hand it to the server to bring to the table. That’s the 10/80/10 rule. We don’t realize how much time it can save us. We just don’t know what we don’t know. As such, people don’t realize how many untold hours they could be saving by delegating some of their routine tasks.What you’re currently doing: Scrubbing, cleaning, and vacuuming every inch of your house and still somehow not getting it clean enough. That’s why if you strapped me to a chair, and told me I had only one more episode left to share with you, these would be my parting words.
This looks at four key areas of your life and gives yourself permission to dream, to think into the future and 10x your current life. It’s easier to 10x your life than to 2x your life. The spouse or former spouse of a deceased federal employee (that died while working for the federal government) who was designated to receive the survivor benefit from the deceased federal employee's retirement annuity.Level three is marketing. Marketing is about understanding what campaigns you’re going to run to generate leads and what your sources of traffic are; foot or online. Someone needs to wake up every day and monitor this, ensuring a higher quality and quantity of traffic. At some point, this should no longer be the CEO; someone else can build a lead generation system to grow the company. We think we’re Special Snowflakes. You wouldn’t believe how many entrepreneurs give other entrepreneurs advice about productivity, “paying the problem away,” and delegating…until it comes to their business. “Yeah, that might work for her,” they say, “but my business is different.” If you judge books on the number of action points to take from them then this one is not just one of my favourites but right up there as number one. However, you can find out what you should be delegating to others by asking yourself two questions: Where do I add the most value — and where do I add the least? So, let's talk a little bit about what to expect regarding an increase in your retirement pension. Take a look at a real-life example:
I had always thought that more staff means more people to supervise and more work but here it is reframed as more staff freeing up the founder to do just what they love doing and are best at which at the same time gives them more energy to do it. In other areas of life, we change as we grow: our clothing style, where we live, where we eat. Yet in the area of how we use money and time — especially for entrepreneurs — why are we so resistant to change? How can you hire people in the right sequence to get the most out of those hires? This involves a five step ladder, each with specific outcomes.
Success!
Level four is sales—hiring a salesperson, but only when the first three levels are filled. If not, you’ll have someone who doesn’t have enough leads to make money and they’ll quit within three or four months. Hire a salesperson who can do all the initial calls as well as the follow-ups. All told, if you outsourced each of the seven areas above, you could potentially save 46 hours each week! That’s more than SIX hours per day. Yes, you could do it yourself. But you don’t have to. I’m into fitness. I could theoretically read a ton of material on bodybuilding, structure my diet, and follow through myself, saving tons of money. However, I know I’ll never be as efficient as my trainer, who lives and breathes fitness. His knowledge compounds, while fitness would just be a secondary focus for me. But by paying him, I can trade money for time and get the best outcome — efficient training, great results. Again, I could do this myself…but I don’t have to. To conduct the study, they recruited 60 people and gave them cash on two consecutive weekends and asked them to spend it two different ways.
