Title: 10 Reasons I Want To Be More Like Dan
Review: After 3 days of reading this book, both my thumbs and mind feel as if they now posses super human abilities.Every cardio workout, sauna session, hour upon waking up, and hour before bed I’ve listened this book while typing into the notes section of my phone as fast as my thumbs could move.The structure of this book and the visually compelling storytelling made it easy to understand the core principles outlined in each chapter.They chapter recaps and action steps made it simple to put this book into action in real time.(Although I will admit, I haven’t been able to fully implement some of this bigger steps, but they are scheduled into my calendar).I wanted to share my biggest take away from this book, which is that I noticed Dan’s ability to inspire committed action throughout each chapter, which I think is the single most important quality of a great book.Lastly, how well it pulled me into Dan’s vision for life and a few things that stood out to me as to why:1. He own’s his time and controls his life2. His playbooks not only for business but his home3. His desire to give back and remember why he started4. His disruptive take on task delegation5. His outlook on having an assistant & home manager6. His “I’ll go first” approach to inspiring his family to succeed beyond what they ever imagined in their own business.7. His approach to transformational leadership8. Giving back to support entrepreneurs in controlling their time9. Living the life there’s no need to retire from10. His desire to dream big, create, and keep momentumBuy this book, implement the action steps, change your life, I know I certainly am!Thank YOU Dan.

Title: Great read for those serious about getting serious
Review: I have read several business books so I can personally attest that BBYT is one of my top 5. My reasoning is simple: it is not only simple and straightforward(as well as fun and informative), but also very interactive. You can’t just think your way to a better self- one must transform through action. I highly recommend this book for those who are ready to take their business and their entire life to all the next levels!

Title: Better than E-Myth
Review: I wish I would have had this book 13 years ago after starting my business, instead of reading the E-Myth book , a book most people recommend for all businesses, a book I read often to try and fix my frustrations.Dan Martell's book is more what I feel like in the trenches. Its easier to read and understand and practical steps to implement with eye opening Why doing things better is important. Dan's book moves you faster towards less frustration.My only dislike was I had to read it slower and I wrote in the book. Because I follow him on YouTube, some of the information was redundant, yet I understand books more when I read vs listening. I like having both options to read and listen.My biggest take away was the camcorder method and learning about my Buyback Rate. Mind blown on the "McDonaldizing Your Life"I bet you're a bit like me and read/listen/learn to find better solutions to eliminate frustrations. If you don't want to stay stuck in business, I'd recommend unsticking yourself and read "Buy Back Your Time" by Dan Martell or follow him on social media. This man truly blows my mind and implementing his ideas is saving me frustrations!!

Title: A Game-Changer in the Business World
Review: In the ever-evolving landscape of business literature, Dan Martell's "Buy Back Your Time" emerges as a beacon of practical wisdom, offering a fresh perspective on time management and productivity. This book is not just a guide; it's a transformative journey that challenges entrepreneurs and business professionals to rethink their relationship with time. Martell masterfully combines personal anecdotes with actionable strategies, making the concept of buying back your time not just desirable but achievable."Buy Back Your Time" stands on the shoulders of giants, drawing inspiration from seminal works in the genre, yet it carves out its own unique space. When compared to Tim Ferriss's groundbreaking "The 4-Hour Work Week," Martell's book offers a complementary, yet distinct approach to productivity and lifestyle design. Where Ferriss introduces us to the concept of lifestyle design and working smarter, not harder, Martell takes this foundation and builds upon it, focusing on the strategic delegation and automation of tasks to reclaim time for what truly matters.Both books are revolutionary in their own right, but Martell's work is particularly impactful in today's fast-paced business environment. It speaks directly to the modern entrepreneur, who is often caught in the crossfire of burgeoning business demands and the pursuit of personal fulfillment. "Buy Back Your Time" provides a roadmap for achieving success without sacrificing one's personal life on the altar of entrepreneurial achievement.Martell's emphasis on leveraging time as a non-renewable resource resonates deeply in a world where the hustle culture has glorified being perpetually busy. His strategies for outsourcing, automation, and prioritization are not just about creating more leisure time but about enhancing the quality of both professional and personal life. This nuanced approach makes "Buy Back Your Time" an essential read for anyone looking to navigate the complexities of modern business without losing sight of their personal goals and well-being.In comparison, while "The 4-Hour Work Week" laid the groundwork for rethinking work and life balance, "Buy Back Your Time" takes these concepts into the new decade with a renewed focus on sustainability, mental health, and holistic success. Martell's book is a testament to the evolution of thought within the realm of productivity and personal development, offering actionable solutions that are both innovative and grounded in reality."Buy Back Your Time" is more than just a book; it's a movement towards a more intentional and fulfilling way of living and working. Dan Martell has not only matched the impact of Tim Ferriss's "The 4-Hour Work Week" but has also expanded the conversation, inviting readers to not only dream of a better work-life balance but to actively create it. This book is a must-read for anyone looking to make a significant impact in their professional life without compromising their personal joy and freedom.

Review: It's not like many other simplistic "just do it" books about procrastination. If you could "just do it", you would "just do it" and you wouldn't need a book, right ?!This book explains the background, gives alternative perspectives that you can adopt and motivates you to take action. I even wrote some things down on post-it notes as a daily reminder just to keep the right mindset.The writing style is very pleasant, fluid and sometimes even funny, which I really enjoyed!I also particularly liked the fact that after each chapter there is a summary with the key points, so that you can easily repeat things without having to read the entire chapter again.
