Shownotes Transcript

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
