Books Buy Back Your Time: Get Unstuck, Reclaim Your Freedom, and Build Your Empire by Dan Martell (Author)

"Buy Back Your Time: Get Unstuck, Reclaim Your Freedom, and Build Your Empire" by Dan Martell is a practical guide for entrepreneurs focused on reclaiming control over their time as the key to scaling their businesses and living fulfilling lives. Martell emphasizes treating money as a lever to buy back time from low-value tasks rather than merely accumulating revenue. By calculating your "Buyback Rate"—the true value of an hour of your attention—you can delegate, automate, or eliminate tasks that cost more time/energy than they are worth.

The book outlines a structured "Buyback Loop": audit your calendar to identify time-draining activities, transfer them to assistants or technology, and then fill the reclaimed hours with high-impact activities only you can perform. Martell proposes building a "Replacement Ladder," starting with hiring an executive assistant and moving up to specialists and leaders, to systematically free yourself from operational work.
