From the author who brought you the award-winning book, Pivot: The Only Move That Matters Is Your Next One (Portfolio/Penguin, 2016)

A four-stage process for navigating what’s next by doubling down on what is already working.

🎉 Free Time Inside

Many small business owners are beset by the Burdensome B's: bottlenecked, bored, or burned out. Running a business does not have to be so hard, or stressful, or overwhelming. The book is structured around Blake’s three-stage Free Time Framework, starting with a simple inquiry: Are you in friction or in flow? Wherever you encounter excessive friction, you will apply the Align-Design-Assign process.

Friction vs. Flow via Free Time by Jenny Blake

This book will teach you:

  • The missing metric in financial reports: Time-to-Revenue Ratio (TtRr)

  • How to achieve escape velocity through smarter systems and doubling what you delegate

  • The myth of hard work for business owners: why hard work alone is not enough

  • DNA of projects: Jenny’s belief, “How we bake is as important as what we make.”

  • What it means to be high net freedom versus solely emphasizing high net worth.

  • The “time is money” trope keeping us stuck in outdated factory-system structures, even if self-employed.

  • How to time block and bake in batches—starting with blocking your calendar one year out

  • How to avoid Franken-stringing software while still developing stronger techtuition

  • Fiji Test: each team member continually makes themselves replaceable every day

  • Are you ready for your big break, or would your business break? Scaling strategies

  • How to structure Delightfully Tiny Teams for maximum flexibility

  • To solve for Sisyphean Systems and the crush of the inbound (i.e. email, social media, Qs from your team)

  • Relinquish your roles as Chief Everything Officer and All-Seeing Question Answerer

  • Jenny’s mantra, “Let it be easy, let it be fun”

  • Cultivating nonlinear breakthroughs through intuition, serendipity and surrender

  • How to create an externalized business mind, and why Jenny uses Notion for this

Ready to dive in?

After reading the book, Free Timers have already . . .

  • Hired a Second Part-Time Virtual Assistant

    To create redundancy in the business in case the owner or long-time assistant were out for extended time

  • Started Founder Time Fridays

    By clearing my calendar and not adding any new meetings on Friday to focus on what Cal Newport calls “deep work.”

  • Been Choosier With New Clients

    Raised rates and unapologetically started saying no to clients that were no longer a fit (at the intersection of revenue, ease, and joy)

  • Hired an In-Person Assistant

    For help with things around the house, running errands, going to the Post Office.

  • Hired a Podcast Producer

    And improved the recording (and delegating) process so the owner only shows up for 90-minute sessions resulting in two episodes!

  • Set-up Two Weekly Recurring DNS Blocks

    Created recurring Do Not Schedule (DNS) blocks twice per week. “Wow, did that help!”
