What do you REALLY want out of your business?

Most small business owners want two things:

• Enough money to stop stressing.

• Enough time to actually live.

You didn’t start your business to be owned by it.
You started it to build a better life for you and your family.

I felt the same way until I decided to test something bold. For the past two months, I’ve taken Fridays Off. It’s changed everything.

Fridays Off isn’t a wish. It’s a series of strategic moves that make your business more profitable and your time more valuable. It’s the status symbol of a business finally working for you.

So here’s the pivot…Starting next week, this newsletter is going all in to help YOU get there.

What’s Changing:
The Summary was bloated. I was throwing too much information at you and I was adding to the overload. You don’t need more information, you need clarity. So from here on out, each edition will take you fewer than 5 minutes to read.

Each week you’ll get:

• 1 Action Step you can take today to get closer to Fridays Off

• 1 Tweet of the Week for perspective, insight, or laughs

• 1 Quick Hit I think you need to know

That’s it. Clean, fast, useful.

Imagine this
One extra day every week that provides time for family, health, hobbies, or just breathing. That’s what Fridays Off delivers. And that’s where we’re headed together.

The change starts now.

Overtime: Next week, I get to spend a few days surrounded by SBOC community members at #SBOC25. Someone called us a cult last year (lol). Maybe they’re right because when you walk into a room where people actually care about your success, it feels a little too good to be true. If you want to experience this group for yourself, perhaps you should join the SBOC with our new $9/month plan.
