July 25th: Is A Four-Day Workweek Achievable?

Yes. It is achievable.

The famous four-hour workweek sounds great and all, but is it realistic for most solopreneurs? Probably not.

However, a four-day workweek is totally doable!

Imagine being able to hand off those time-consuming tasks that you dread, like bookkeeping or social media management, to someone who actually enjoys and excels at them.

Pretty great thought, right?

It doesn't have to break the bank either; there are plenty of affordable options like virtual assistants or freelancers who can take on these tasks.

By outsourcing, you free up your schedule to focus on what you truly love and need to do, like growing your business and connecting with clients.

Plus, you won't have to stress over mastering new skills that aren't in your wheelhouse. Letting experts handle those foreign concepts means you can concentrate on what you do best, making your workday more enjoyable and productive.

This advice can be your ticket to a four-day workweek.

By effectively delegating, you can streamline your operations, reduce your workload, and reclaim your time, allowing you to enjoy long weekends without sacrificing your business's success.

I’ve included two podcasts below. The first discusses how to find tax “coupons” aka, how to cut your tax bill (our guest helps solopreneurs do this so they don’t have to). The second talks about how to hire a VA (affordably) and he even offers a course for only $29 that you can find in the show notes.

Handing over "your stuff" can be scary, but also so rewarding!

Worth a shot?

Solo together,
