About this episode
Graham Cochrane discusses how working less can lead to greater income and business success.
What if the reason your income isn't where you want it to be has nothing to do with how hard you're working — and everything to do with the fact that you're working too hard? I know that sounds backwards. But I've built a multi-million dollar business working five hours a week, and I want to show you exactly why slowing down was the best business decision I ever made Because when you slow yourself down, your business and income will explode.
