Send us a textBill Korman transforms how we navigate life's most precious resource in this eye-opening exploration of time mastery. A Navy veteran of 20 years who simultaneously built multiple successful businesses, Korman reveals his revolutionary system—"The 168 Game"—that's helping entrepreneurs, athletes, and everyday people reclaim control of their 168 weekly hours.The conversation takes a powerful turn when Korman shares his journey through bankruptcy during the 2008 financial crisis. "I spent three hours bawling my eyes out having a conversation with God," he recalls of his lowest moment. This rock-bottom experience catalyzed his transformation and quest to understand what wealthy people know about money that most Americans haven't been taught—knowledge he now shares through his financial services company.At the heart of Korman's philosophy lies the distinction between time management and time ownership. "Owners see things completely through a different lens than the best manager in the world," he explains. While traditional time management starts with tools and strategies, Korman's approach begins with identifying your personal morals, values, and principles—the compass that guides all your decisions. He introduces practical strategies like scheduling in 15-minute increments to uncover hidden pockets of time and his "Yes For Later" system to capture opportunities without overcommitting.The episode delivers profound insights for listeners at any stage of their entrepreneurial journey. From practical calendar management techniques to the mindset shifts that enabled Korman to run four companies while maintaining balance across his "four pillars" of faith, family, fitness, and finance, you'll walk away with actionable strategies to reclaim ownership of your time and align it with your deepest values.Ready to transform how you approach your 168 hours? Visit the168game.com to learn more about Korman's system and take the first step toward becoming a time owner rather than just a time manager.
