Chris Ducker was working 14-hour days, six days a week, spending very little time with family and working ‘in’ his business, instead of ‘on’ it and was tired in every possible way. He’s come a long way since then, creating the new business Virtual Staff Finder, the New Business Podcast, and his new book – Virtual Freedom: How to Work with Virtual Staff to Buy More Time, Become More Productive, and Build Your Dream Business. He’s also released a podcast series that corresponds to the new book.

In this episode, Chris and Erik cover:

  • The false believe that you can fill every role in a growing business
  • Super hero syndrome
  • Chris’ definition of the word Entrepreneur = To provide answers to questions and solutions to problems
  • Being a 16 hour a day, 7 day a week entrepreneur doesn’t make you a more successful entrepreneur.

Chris’s 3 lists:

  • The things you hate doing
  • The things you can’t do
  • The things you shouldn’t be doing

You need to do only the things that you are uniquely qualified to do.—@jaybaerClick To Tweet

If you’re doing things other people on your team can do, you’re robbing them of opportunity.—Jay BaerClick To TweetChris’s rule for email – Never open an email more than once by:
