[BEST OF BETTER THAN BIG] On Creating More Time Off as a Service Business Owner with Michael Knouse

Whether it’s a holdover from a corporate career or completely subconscious, business owners can fall into the trap of working all the time and forget that they can design a business that provides them with ample time off. In this episode, my guest Michael Knouse shares how he’s designed his business so he can enjoy an abundance of time off each year to ski and travel and adventure. We talk about the importance of trading busy work for smart work, about how he was able to take a month off to travel without harming his business and about what he wishes more business owners would take advantage of when it comes to their schedule.

In each conversation, Ashley and her guests explore the shifts they've made to their services, schedule, systems, team and personal habits so they can work less and live more. They talk about the decisions they’ve made, the things they’ve said no to and the choices and tradeoffs they’ve weighed to create a business that deeply serves their life and provides them with time for their families, health, personal development, hobbies and more.
