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.

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.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 362
Years ago, after suffering a humiliatingly large dumb tax, it dawned on me that I have a seemingly unlimited ability to hit unforced errors and sabotage my business and financial success. I suspect you do, too. It turns out that the key to getting rich (and staying that way) is to avoid doing stupid things. I don't need to do more smart things. I just need to make fewer dumb mistakes. The vast majority of our dumb tax is a direct result of emotional, overly optimistic, and poorly thought out decisions.

Series of Anecdotes Without Any Actionable Insight
- By Orion9282 on 11-19-18
Publisher's Summary
Are you an entrepreneur mystified as to how to scale your business? Do you realize the solution is to make yourself replaceable? Does that question bring up any resistance? Well, then you are ready to dive into my latest book.
The Replaceable Founder explores the dynamics of the entrepreneurship world and explains how founders can capitalize on emerging trends to optimize, automate, outsource, and create truly sustainable businesses.
You’ll be relieved to discover how simple and easy it is to relinquish control and cultivate a more productive mindset with this book. I’ll give you the tools to confidently optimize, securely automate, and effortlessly outsource the majority of your daily tasks for the greater good of your business.
Author Ari Meisel wrote with exceptional articulation and clarity in the book, sharing practical, actionable methods on how entrepreneurs can build next level businesses through his proprietary OA Methodology. This book is a blueprint that will help you eliminate that “I got this” mentality, so you can create your own path to professional and financial success, no matter the size of your business.
Quite simply, it is filled with “right here, right now” tactics and processes that will teach you how to build a better company.
This is not a book that tells you a story about how to start a business. It is one of those rare practical guides that has the power to change any entrepreneur’s life. All Ari asks is that founders get out of their own way.

A masterclass in how to let go
I am lucky enough to be part of Ari’s community and know what he says in this book is what he practises.
This book had me making notes and actions to change the way I work.
Ari wants to genuinely help you to let go. The tips given in this book will help you get there faster.
A must listen for any entrepreneur looking to move their team and themselves to the next level.
