Episode 277: The Entrepreneur's 4 Day Workweek with Joe Sanok

Have you ever noticed how much more productive you are when you take a day away from your business just to recharge? Your creativity improves, your focus sharpens and your motivation rises, all by working less. With more and more entrepreneurs seeking a balance between work and play and seeing their bank account growing in the process, how did society ever land on a 40-hour workweek?

On Amplify Your Success Podcast episode 276, my guest Joe Sanok, author of the 4 Day Workweek, joins me to share what he discovered when he set out on a mission to work less, make more and continue to grow his impact along the way.

Inside this episode you’ll hear a lot about how Henry Ford influenced today’s 5 day workweek norms (and what Joe discovered about productivity and high achievers by searching for the key to time freedom.)
