On Building Your Business Around Planned Time Off with Michael Knouse

Whether it’s a holdover from a corporate career or completely subconscious, business owners often 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, guest Michael Knouse shares how he’s designed his business so he can enjoy 6 weeks off each year. We talk about the importance of trading busy work for smart work, about how he was able to take a month off to travel this year and about what he wishes more business owners would take advantage of when it comes to their schedule.
