As always, here is a snippet of 3 chapters in the book:
CHAPTER ONE:
a. The Buy Principle entails that you can live life on your terms and hire to get back your freedom instead of doing all the heavy lifting and limiting the very Business you want to Grow.
b. Excelling at a few tasks that are HIGH-VALUE and brings in a lot more Revenue is better than to waste hours on the less important tasks that can be handles by someone who can get them done and find pleasure also in doing them while the CEO focus on the main glitz of the company.
CHAPTER TWO:
1. Work on tasks that lights you up, and its not only because science says so, but because it gives you time freedom and lights your world up, thereby giving mental peace and the ability to function perfectly.
2. Focus on the tasks that brings in the most return and HIRE OUT the tasks that brings in little dividend.
3. Do not hire away your priorities( High-Value) tasks so that you don’t end up and employee or admin again. The Parts of the business you love should be the part you focus on and not give it away to hire, that way you feel the need to work and you are lighted every time you do it.
CHAPTER THREE
1. Research shows most entrepreneurs are addicted to chaos and therefore are chaotic all the time. Most often than not, chaos might stem from childhood traumas, and let downs. With that in mind, most entrepreneurs, find comfort in the chaos, instead of buying freedom.
The point posits that, the Entrepreneur most important focus should be placed on places in the business where there is more freedom and the art of being creative and independent of the business.
2. Ones ability to deal with chaos gives them the added advantage of running a business but also unconsciously makes one to seek chaos all the time in their lives.
3. Most Entrepreneur bounce from one ASSASSIN to the other due to their addiction for chaos.
We are not just recommending books, we are instilling courage and confidence.
