Below is a combination of tasks I can help you with within an hour. An hour may not be much, but these are regular tasks in your business. The tasks tend to occur weekly or monthly or are event or project-based. When you look at the time spent in a year, these ‘hours’ add up. One hour a month is 12 hours a year. One hour a week is 52 hours a year. Think about what you can accomplish in those times as a business owner. Also, it frees up your headspace and a to-do list as you don’t have to deal with these repeatable tasks.
