What if that's completely backward? In 2009, I was broke. On food stamps. A brand new dad, no job, just starting a business out of a spare bedroom. And a mentor told me to do something that sounded completely insane: stop working one day a week. Indefinitely. Not after I made it. Not once business was steady. Right now, while I had nothing. I thought he was crazy. I did it anyway. And it became the single decision that changed everything about how my business grew from there. By the end of this, you'll have a simple way to work less starting this week — and why that might be the smartest business move you ever make.
