At the peak of his career and success, Ari Meisel nearly killed himself from exhaustion and overwork. He had to make a choice: He could let his "success" destroy him physically and mentally, or he could find a better way to live. He spent the next few years redesigning his life from scratch. Ultimately he found the way to reduce his workload by 80 percent while actually increasing results and success. Furthermore, he could spend time on what matters most: his family.

"Less is more" - or, more specifically, the less you have to do, the more life you have to live. Efficiency expert Ari Meisel details his "Less Doing" philosophy, which will streamline your life, and make everything easier. In business and our personal lives, it often seems as if the only way to get more done is by putting in more time - more hours at the office, more days running errands. But what if there were a way that we could do less, and free up more time for the things and people we love? If this sounds like what you need, Ari Meisel has the program for you.

Careers are not linear, predictable ladders any longer; they are fluid trajectories. No matter our age, life stage, bank account balance, or seniority, we are all being asked to navigate career changes much more frequently than in years past. The average employee tenure in America is just four to five years, and even those roles change dramatically within that time. Our economy now demands that we create businesses and careers based on creativity, growth, and impact. In this dynamic world of work, the only move that matters is your next one.

"I think they just want to hire younger people," his boss at Newsweek told him. Fifty years old and with a wife and two young kids, Dan was, in a word, screwed. Then an idea hit. Dan had long reported on Silicon Valley and the tech explosion. Why not join it? HubSpot, a Boston start-up, was flush with $100 million in venture capital.

Entrepreneurs often suffer from "superhero syndrome" - the misconception that to be successful, they must do everything themselves. They are not only the boss but also the salesperson, HR manager, copywriter, operations manager, online marketing guru, and so much more. It's no wonder so many people give up the dream of starting a business - it's just too much for one person to handle. But outsourcing expert and "Virtual CEO" Chris Ducker knows how you can get the help you need with resources you can afford.

At 19, I founded a software company with $119 in my bank account. Five years later, it was valued at $10.5 million. I don't consider myself exceptionally brilliant. I just realized something few people know: You don't need lots of money or an original idea to get really rich. Now, I make more than $100,000 in passive income every month, while also running my own private equity firm and hosting The Top Entrepreneurs podcast, which has more than 10 million downloads. This book will reveal how I went from college dropout to member of the New Rich.

Best&Most Practical Book on Finance and life!

Publisher's Summary
Please download the supplementary PDF for a list of the figures referenced in the audio.
When Ari Meisel and Nick Sonnenberg launched their high-end virtual assistant (VA) company, Less Doing™, they changed the culture of start-ups forever, effectively debunking the gospel that every new venture requires months of preplanning and a hefty investment of capital. A business born from scribbled notes on a cocktail napkin during dinner was an up-and-running concern less than 24 hours later, ingeniously brought to life with the help of free, readily available digital tools and apps and no outlay of cash whatsoever.
Meisel and Sonnenberg reveal how a scalable start-up is done to perfection in this fascinating and informative chronicle of their first year in business together. An essential listen for any budding entrepreneur, it follows the creative commercial process from inspiration to inception to success, detailing a bold new approach to 21st century business based on a fearless ingenuity and a willingness to rewrite the rules.

I thought this book was going to be about helping me automate and outsourced my life but really it was about a story of how they built an Outsourcing company and the tools they use. It was a good story for sure but in the end it didn't really help me out at all

Concrete implementable strategies and tools
After reading Ray Dalio’s Life Principles book (which was mind blowing in its concepts for me), this book actually provided tools to help implement some of those concepts. As an entrepreneur, time is the one resource I never have enough of. Ari and Nick provided so much content that I could immediately apply in the current challenges of my business. Of course they also illuminated how useful VA services can be to me and how much I’m doing that I could delegate, which of course means it was a great way to generate more business for themselves. However they lay it all out, no secrets so you could implement yourself or you could be strategic on how you use them or another VA service. Overall I really enjoyed the book. It got my creativity going, energized me and I came away with two solid immediate implementations. The book will be useful to entrepreneurs who are scaling surely, but also small businesses needing to delegate but not ready to hire full time staff. Likewise it will be useful to anyone needing help with team coordination and project tracking, hiring and interviewing, or just more efficient time management. Because they take you through their own progression of tool usage and refinement of their processes, I came away with a much greater understanding of the key tools I need to investigate immediately. The book was an awesome use of my time and I will be returning to it as a reference as I implement. Thank you Ari and Nick!

Game Changer
I don't know many people that write a box by simply voice recording into DropVox each week about what's happened in their business with a view to provide value to a future audience. That drops to a copy writer and then publisher. Finished once they are! Can't recommend this short, punchy to the point review of how to create immense leverage in your biz and personal life. I can't wait to work with these lads.

Worth the knowledge
The book provides the tools in way of a story about how Nick and Ari and their startup growth.
Although filled with insights on how to optimise, It wasn’t what I was looking for. I work for a company remotely so was aware of ways to optimise a business, in saying that, I did find it to be more a confirmation in the process I intend to implement in my personal startup.
For he person who isn’t aware of the tech solutions or what is actually capable with the tools and resources available today, this book would be a brief and handy insight.
