Book excerpt: You’ve heard again and again that getting rich means working hard and being willing to put in long hours, often at the expense of everything else in your life. The 6-Minute Work Day is here to dispel that myth—and show you how to grow your income without wasting all your time and energy on work. So many financial gurus, business books, and corporate training seminars teach you to hustle, grind, work harder, start work early, and stay late to be able to move forward in your career—or even just make ends meet. But then you get that promotion or pay off that debt and the hustle starts again. And again. And again. The truth is, you don’t need to put in more hours to make more money. In fact, you should put in less—specifically, six minutes. Douglas Vermeeren, an award-winning entrepreneur trainer, has distilled his proven advice into this book to help you cast off your workday, optimize your time and freedom, and dramatically increase your income. In The 6-Minute Work Day, Vermeeren breaks down: Why we go to work—and why we don’t need to do that to accomplish our goals What we can really do in six minutes How we can create and maintain a six-minute workday How we can expand on the income streams that our six minutes have generated to gain even more wealth If you want to ditch the daily grind and spend your time living instead of working while still making money, The 6-Minute Work Day is the straightforward, actionable guide you need.
