Top 10 Free Time Principles {BEST OF}

40 minutes

Just a few days after launch, Free Time topped many Amazon charts! Although "making the lists" is not something I lose sleep over, it does go a long way toward raising awareness and generating lasting launch momentum. Here are some early category stats—I couldn't do any of this without you!

#1 New Release in Time Management

#1 New Release in Small Business

#1 New Release Organizational Change

#1 New Release Business Structural Adjustment

Enormous thanks to all of you who have read the book and posted reviews on Amazon and Goodreads already! Every one has warmed my heart. ❤️

This episode originally aired on April 1, 2022.

🎁 We're bringing back BOGOGO! Give the gift of free time to yourself and others in the new year by participating in our Buy One, Get One, Give One bonus—back for a limited time. Here's how it works:

Buy One: Order the hardcover edition and submit proof of purchase at http://itsfreetime.com/bogogo

Get One: Within one business day, you'll get audiobook access via private feed and the Free Time Toolkit

Give One: You will get details on how to gift audiobook access to a friend :)

⭐️ Key Takeaways:

Make a list of how you’re spending your time for a week. If you see repeated tasks — those are prime candidates for automation.

Notice the mortifying moments in your business. We all have them, and as uncomfortable as they are, they are great chances to fix our systems.

Are your processes and systems ready for a big break? If Oprah came out of retirement and wanted to talk to you tomorrow — could you meet the increase in demand that would ensue?

💌 Permission: Relinquish your role as all-seeing question answerer. Let someone else answer the questions (and maybe your email!) — you are juggling way too much to remember all of the little things.

✅ Do (or Delegate) This Next: Double it! Double how much you delegate. What is your comfort zone for allowing other people to take things over? Stretch it to accommodate more.
