Does ‘growth’ to you mean doing MORE of what you hate?

More tedious onboarding?

More admin?

More direct reports?

That’s what it used to mean to me…

When I was building my company Spheric Technologies in 2003. I was on the brink of burnout.

I was always putting out operational fires. 100-hour work weeks. And 95% of my calendar was filled with work that drained my energy.

I HATED getting out of bed.

Nowadays, thanks to the strategy I want to share with you today, my life and business is totally different…

I run an 8-figure working 7 hours a week…

My assistant has an assistant…

And I get to spend most of my time doing what I love… coaching amazing SaaS founders.

I explode out of bed. And I’m pumped full of energy to crush the day.

How did I get here?

Hard work.

But also, after years of grinding and crawling through the trenches, I’ve discovered the secret to unlocking painless growth

I call it The Buyback Principle.

I’ll dive deeper in this week’s episode.
