Why Does Structure Equal Freedom In Every Entrepreneur’s Life?

A Free Day™ is a 24-hour period with no work-related activity whatsoever. A great many entrepreneurs struggle with taking true Free Days™. In this episode, business coaches Dan Sullivan and Shannon Waller talk about The Entrepreneurial Time System®—which consists of Free Days, Focus Days™, and Buffer Days™—and why it’s essential for you to provide structure to your Free Days if you want the greatest business success.

 

Here’s some of what you’ll learn in this episode:

  • The purpose of each of the three types of days in The Entrepreneurial Time System.
  • Some non-work activities you can use to structure your days.
  • Why it can be much easier to work than to take a day off.
  • Why entrepreneurs are so resistant to taking days off entirely without work.
  • Why you shouldn’t have an unplanned Free Day.

 

Show Notes:

 

You gravitate to the part of your life that has the most structure.

 

Taking a day as if it were a Free Day, but structuring it with activities that are business activities, means that you're not going to be rejuvenated by the day.

 

You can have a lot of structure to your days even when you’re not working.

 

You can do activities on Free Days that you would never touch on a workday.

 

Structure means that you’ll be supported by things that are already planned.

 

If you have an idea on a Free Day, wait to see if it sticks with you until a workday.

 

It’s a lot easier to set out to write 100 books than to set out to write only one book.

 

An idea that is really great bothers you because it wants to be born into the world.

 

You can still use all your strengths when you’re on a Free Day.

 

Profitability means you’re not only making money, you’re keeping money.

 

Your plans regarding retirement affect how you take your Free Days.
