If you can even call it work At my wedding, my best man read a poem which had a very specific joke in it. And that joke became a common theme throughout the wedding. And that same joke is texted to me about once a week from some guys at my office. And my gym. And from my brother. Because earlier this year I had to take some time off due to an infection. Not âend of the worldâ stuff, but I could barely concentrate, short of breath, and I slept all the time. It was like a 90 day cold. And my family repeatedly asked me if Iâd have to shut the business down. âWhy on Earth would I need to do that?â Iâd ask. In their eyes, someone who doesnât work, isnât doing anything. A business surely canât operate and run with no one at the helm? Cleaners need to clean. Carpenters need to carpent. Mike needs toâ¦wait, what exactly does Mike do again? And this is all by design. Some of my nieces and nephews think Iâm either a spy. Or that Iâve made my millions and now just sort ofâ¦lounge around the place. At first this used to really annoy me, because it implies that our value and identity as people is defined by the work we do for other people. But a friend of mine said something really interesting to me. I told him that on average, I probably only work 3-4 hours a day, 4 days a week. I hardly ever have meetings or calls and if I do, theyâre with people I want to talk to. If anything, weâve found that the less Iâm involved in my own business - the better the business operates. And my friend said âMike, it doesnât matter if no one knows what you do or how your business operates.â Huh. And heâs absolutely right. I canât show off because thereâs nothing to show. And thatâs the point. I work when I want, if I want. I write emails like this. Talk to my team (who are fantastic). And I spend a lot of time thinking and reading. The massive caveat to all this of course, is that I have a phenomenal team of hard working, smart and dedicated people that I listen to. I also am 100% comfortable with control of the business not being up to me. Thereâs lots of things that I have zero say over. All of this is because Iâm 100% focused however, on what I should be doing. I have one job at my company. I donât have âlots of hatsâ as lots of entrepreneurs say. I have one job and I let my team get on with theirs. And what that means, is that if I take time off - lots of time off - no one really notices. So the answer to the joke, âwhat exactly does Mike do?â isâ¦whatever he feels like. Mike P.S. Hereâs some more ways I can help your funnel business grow. 1.
