Free audit · 10 minutes

Get 10 hours a week back from your own business.

Work out what your hour is worth, sort your week into keep, delegate, automate and drop, and leave with a one-page handover plan you can start on Monday.

No sign-up to use it. Your list is saved in this browser and stays there until you unlock the bonus.

Step 1

Price your hour

Example figures shown. Replace them with yours.

Income you want from the business each year ($)

What a capable team member costs per hour, including super and on-costs ($)

Weeks you work each year

Hours you work each week

Your hour is worth about $75 an hour. Every hour you spend on work someone else could do at $45 an hour costs you the difference.

Step 2

Sort your week

A typical owner's week is listed as an example. Rename, change hours, add your own tasks. For each one, decide: Keep it, Delegate it, Automate it, or Drop it.

Keep work only you can do, such as selling, pricing and leading. Delegate work a capable person can do with a clear brief. Automate work software can repeat. Drop work nobody would miss.

Hours you get back each week

That beats the 10-hour target. Of the 51 hours you listed, 22 stay with you.

Value of that time each year: $100,385 value of that time each year
Left after paying for help: $58,985 left after paying for help

The value only becomes real if you spend the freed hours on selling, pricing and leading the team.

Step 3
