Summary

In 2006, while working in a full-time job, James Schramko wrote this in a notebook:

My goals: Create automated income so that I am independently wealthy and enjoy my life passionately.

Within three years, he’d built his own business and achieved those goals. At this point he set about helping his coaching clients do the same. Leveraging his knowledge and experience, they were able to make more money while reducing their work hours significantly.

This freed them up to spend more time living.

It’s easy to think working less and making more is something available only to a blessed few. James has proven over and over again this is not the case. All you require is:

  • An open mind
  • The ability to focus on what’s important
  • An understanding of business models
  • A willingness to challenge your assumptions

Work Less, Make More will break down all the barriers standing between you and the above. It will teach you how to effectively leverage yourself, your team, and your business via:

  • Increasing your personal effectiveness
  • Planning and goal setting
  • Learning focus and the power of 64:4
  • Building a team
  • Creating an offer that converts
  • Leveraging the profit formula to boost cash flow
  • Understanding the importance of customer lifetime value
  • Choosing the right business mode
  • Removing compromise from your life

This audiobook is for you if you are:

  • A business owner (big or small)
  • Currently in a job with a hard ceiling on how much you can earn
  • Overworked and underpaid
  • Stressed out and missing out on precious time with family and friends.

If you want to build a business that gives you financial peace of mind while allowing you to enjoy life now, not later...Work Less, Make More will get you on your way. It will help ensure the business you're building will work for you, not the other way around.

"Work Less, Make More is a dense delivery of solid systems and sane advice. It's not 80/20, it's 80/20 squared. Every few pages, James punches you in the face with an instantly actionable hack." (Perry Marshall, author of 80/20 Sales & Marketing, Ultimate Guide to Google AdWords, and Evolution 2.0)

Fantastic, straightforward actionable advice from a man who knows

I have followed James Schramko via his podcasts for years. I really like his straight-up, no BS approach. I’ve found this is a classic Aussie virtue but even for an Aussie, James is direct and to the point.

Amid all the abstraction and hype in so many business development books, it’s a welcome relief.

Jim Schramko practiceS what he preaches in this book which is always reassuring as well.

What I really really like about this book is it’s very very direct, simple and actionable.

A lot of the books are either based on one simple idea -which is good but not really worth a book. Others contain many ideas but which are quite abstract and difficult to implement in practice.

James is focused on the effective hourly rate as the golden metric for most entrepreneurs and start up owners. In my experience is absolutely bang on with this as an emphasis.

He gives various very simple but profound ways to increase your effective hourly rate i.e. profits goes up without you working more hours.

In short, this is an absolute godsend of a book. I cannot recommend it enough to any solo-preneur or all start up business owners.

It would also be excellent reading for the owners of scaling small to medium size businesses as well. I think they often fall into the trap getting too complex and treating revenue is a goal in and of itself.

The emphasis on effective hourly rate for business owners is a fantastic corrective to that. Plus the simple formulas he uses, while not necessarily original, are often neglected. He articulates them clearly and simply.

A must-read for all the above types of business owners.
