Want to Make More Money? Buy Back Your Time First
When you're building your business, time is more valuable than money. If you've ever thought, “I need more hours in the day,” you’re not alone—and the solution isn’t working harder. It’s outsourcing the right tasks.
Entrepreneurs often overlook how much personal responsibilities eat into their business-building hours. In your first year, every extra hour counts. Buying back just 5–10 hours a week can lead to real business growth—and even more income.
Here are three personal expenses that can save you time so you can focus on making money:
1. Ordering Food or Meal Prep Services
Yes, it costs more than cooking—but how many hours a week do you spend planning meals, grocery shopping, and cleaning up?
By spending a little more on pre-made meals or delivery, you save mental bandwidth and time to focus on sales, content, or client work.
2. Cleaning Services
Hiring a cleaner may feel like a luxury—but it can actually boost your productivity. A clean space leads to a clear mind.
Outsourcing house cleaning once or twice a month removes stress and gives you the fresh energy you need to stay focused on business growth.
3. Landscaping or Lawn Care Services
Maintaining your yard can eat up entire weekends—especially during busy seasons.
By outsourcing your landscaping, you free up time for revenue-producing tasks or much-needed rest. Plus, your home still looks professional and well-kept for client visits or Zoom calls.
FAQ: Isn’t This Just Spending More Money?
Q: Isn’t this extra spending?
A: It’s an investment. If your time is worth $50/hour and you spend 10 hours a week on chores, that’s $500 in lost opportunity.
Q: What if I’m still growing and can’t afford everything?
A: Start small. Outsource one task and measure how much time you get back—and what you do with it. You’ll likely see a return quickly.
