Jumia Books Buy Back Your Time: Get Unstuck, Reclaim Your Freedom, And Build Your Empire Book By Dan Martell

"Buy Back Your Time: Get Unstuck, Reclaim Your Freedom, And Build Your Empire" by Dan Martell is a practical guide for entrepreneurs to scale their businesses faster while reclaiming their most valuable asset: time. Martell introduces the concept of the "Buyback Rate," a calculation to determine the true dollar value of one hour of your attention. The central idea is to delegate or automate any low-value tasks that cost less than your buyback rate, freeing up time for high-impact strategic work.

The book outlines a systematic process called the "Buyback Loop" — Audit, Transfer, Fill. Entrepreneurs start by auditing their calendar to identify time leaks, then transfer these tasks to assistants or automation, and finally fill the reclaimed time with "$10K tasks," or activities that drive profits and growth. Martell also presents a "Replacement Ladder" for scaling by progressively hiring support staff from assistants up to leaders, allowing focus on critical areas.
