Stop wasting your time. Successful people don't rely on discipline or willpower to be more productive.

So without further explaining it, these are the 15 principles to buy back your time.

Starting with chapter one, how I buy back my life. My friend Stuart had a panic attack at the happiest place on earth at Disneyland. Why? He was working a hundred hour weeks. He wasn't taking care of his health. He asked his family if it was okay to miss dinner and not be there in the morning so that he could work on this massive project. And because of that pressure, his body said, screw you.

Essentially he hit his pain line and most entrepreneurs hit that about 12 employees or a million in revenue. because it's a point where more growth feels painful. So most people do one of the three S's when they hit their pain line. The first S is to sell. It's so painful that they'd rather sell the business, go get a normal job or do something else because the grass is greener on the other side.

What I've learned is sometimes the grass is greener because it's actually fake, but selling is not an option. Second is sabotage, right? They sabotage themselves by taking on new projects, new product lines, hiring bad people only to give themselves permission to fall back so that it's not their fault that they're not succeeding in their business. Well, the third one is to stall.

102.654 - 122.505 Dan Martell

Stall means drag their feet on making decisions or stay small because not growing means slowly dying. Now that you understand what the pain line is, what do you do once you hit it? It's called the buyback loop. And there's three simple steps. The first thing is you have to audit your time for things that suck your energy that would cost very little to pay somebody else to do.

second is to transfer those things in that bucket to somebody else that loves to do this. There's actually people that play at the things that you consider work. And once you transfer and give them the playbooks, which I'll talk more about in a sec, then they'll be able to take that off your plate to open up your calendar, which brings you to step three, which is to fill.

140.669 - 156.334 Dan Martell

This is the thing that brings you the most joy, the most energy, and makes you the most money, which I'll double click on when we get to the drip matrix on how to invest your newfound time. Which brings us to chapter two, the drip matrix. I believe in life, there are two categories of things that you do.

156.374 - 176.082 Dan Martell

There's things that feel like math class for me, which is boring and I hated it and it felt like every second just went super fricking slow. Or there's art class, Where when I was in art class, what I felt was five minutes was more like an hour. The clock goes off and all of a sudden I'm done. It's like time flew by. And life can be that way. Not all tasks are created the same.
