It isn't a typo on the front cover. This book really is the perfect
way to transform your 'busyness' into a thriving business.
Exploring each of the blocks that you'll need to conquer in order
to achieve true freedom in your professional and personal life, the
author takes you through a simple, practical and actionable model
known as The Pyramid of Time Mastery, that will help you to develop
the time habits for success. Too often, being 'busy' is seen as a
sign of success, but this book turns that idea on its head, and
encourages you to stop wishing for more time - but instead shows
you how to make more of the time you already have available to you.
There are only two problems with time. Firstly, there isn't enough
of it. And secondly, anything you do to free-up time doesn't seem
to work. You try it. It might or might not work for a while. But
you never stick to it - slipping back into old ways, eventually. In
fact, there's a common misconception about time - 'There isn't
enough of it... and there's nothing that can be done about that'.
This isn't true, of course. Some people are massively efficient.
They always get stuff done. They don't procrastinate. They achieve
lots each day. After reading this book... you'll be that person.
You'll get a lot MORE done in a lot LESS time. In this book,
Steve's come up with some clever techniques and ideas to help you
find more time to achieve what you want and need in your business.
And, more critically, he shows us how to embed these new
techniques, so that they become our habits. This is life-changing
stuff. If you can save an hour per week, that's 50(ish) hours per
year - which is one whole working week! That's a holiday! Save 2-3
hours a week, and you've saved 2-3 weeks per year. Weeks you'd
probably have spent in boring meetings or engaged in other stuff
you just don't need to do. As I say... life-changing. My advice?
Get some paper, a pen and a cuppa. As you read and learn, write
down everything in this book that will save you time. And then,
implement it straight away. (I have a response ready for you if you
tell me you don't have the time!) I know lots of people who've
followed Steve's techniques in business. Those techniques work, and
you're about to save yourself weeks every year. Andy Bounds
