Buy Back Your Time

I'm not an entrepreneur, but heard the author on a podcast and was interested in this book.

This book is basically a guidebook to assist entrepreneurs handle their life and their business. I personally found the Email GPS section to be of value - as this is how he and his admin share his email inbox and organize it and plow through it.

Other topics include hiring, delegation, letting others do their thing, personal time, hobbies, and more.

It's focused on entrepreneurs and leaders, and maybe not so much for other people. Unless you are in such a role or aspiring to be, the book won't have as much value.

This book is full of really good advice for entrepreneurs. If you ever feel stuck or that you're not doing what you love in your work, you might have hired away the tasks you truly enjoy and are now left with administrative work. You can calculate your effective hourly rate (the money your company spends on you divided by 8000) and then you'll have a number that tells you whether it's worth more for the company to hire someone else to do this work. With the freed-up time, you can return to the work you love and have the most impact on the company. The book also includes great advice for your vision and for moving forward in your business.
