You Don’t Need to Work Weekends.

Last updated: January 7, 2025

People who tell you that you need to work on weekends are liars. They need to work on weekends.

I know that’s a spiky point of view. But it’s true. The people who are telling you need to work on weekends to be successful as a business owner are probably the same people who are trying to sell you something when “just” working on weekends isn’t helping.

But if you care about anything other than work — if you have hobbies, or a family, or a life outside of what people pay you for — you don’t need to work on weekends.

You can manage your time, streamline your work, and offload anything you don’t personally need to do.

The biggest benefit of running your own business is you get to work on your own terms.

And if you want to sacrifice personal relationships, family, and hobbies for the pursuit of being wealthy, you can do that.

But you can make a respectable, comfortable income and still have a life outside of work.

Last year was my best year financially in business, and I took more time off than ever.

That’s an incredible success.

Will I ever be as wealthy as Alex Hormozi? Not financially. That’s the trade-off I’ve decided to make.

But I did get to hang out with my friends and family, and even went to a few weddings. And boy were they fun.

That’s worth way more to me than a bank account with more money than I’d know what to do with.
