#168 Rich Webster – How to Work Less & Earn More Money

from Kickoff Sessions · host Darren Lee

On episode #168 of Kickoff Sessions, I sat down with Rich Webster, a designer, agency-owner, and entrepreneur. Rich built a $500,000 solo-business while working 15 hours a week and now teaches people how to do the same through his newsletter Work Less Wednesday and his online program How To Work Less. Rich breaks down how to increase your income while reducing work hours through efficient techniques like setting client boundaries and batching emails. We explore the process behind scaling a design agency, the importance of identifying the right tasks to focus on and the power of leveraging your network for the future.To wrap things up, we take a leaf from Lionel Messi's book, as we look at how minimal movement can lead to maximum returns, and how this strategy can be applied to your business as well.If you enjoyed this pod, please leave a 5 star rating on Spotify and a review on Apple podcasts.Enrolment for Rich's program How To Work Less is open now: learn.howtoworkless.com⏺️ Voics: https://www.voics.co/🗞️ Newsletter: https://bit.ly/3KftBCP🎤 Podcast Accelerator: https://bit.ly/3f1ir81📞 Schedule Free Call: https://bit.ly/3GsNyTU⭐ Leave a Spotify Review: https://spoti.fi/36RrL9Y Leave an Apple Review: https://apple.co/3uCwViFSocials:- Instagram: https://bit.ly/3LFbEgE- LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3FCS3JA- Twitter: https://bit.ly/3ExJ26Z(00:00) Preview and Introduction(03:00) The 4 Hour Workweek by Tim Ferris(08:29) Finding the Right Mentor(13:04) Identifying The Right Tasks To Focus On(20:50) Scaling a Design Agency to $500,000(26:37) Investing In A Good Team(30:41) Efficient Business Communications (36:00) Improving Productivity with Time Tracking (39:12) The Importance of Deep Work(47:25) Work Hacks to Reduce Work Hours (51:51) Direction in Business(57:53) Structuring Your Day Effectively(1:05:44) Why Is Nutrition Important?Support the show
