The #1 Excuse I Hear: “I Don’t Have Time”
The biggest excuse I hear from professionals who want freedom is:
“I just don’t have time.”
But here’s the truth — you don’t need 20 extra hours a week. You don’t need to quit your job. You don’t even need things to “calm down.”
You just need one focused hour a day.
The Myth of “Needing 20 Extra Hours/Week”
Most people imagine they need massive hustle to build outside income. But let me ask you:
👉 Do you even know what you’d do with 20 hours?
👉 Or would you just get lost in endless research?
The reality: very little of what you think is important actually generates income.
The only three things that matter are:
- Clarity of the problem you solve
- Creating a clear offer
- Making the offer — over and over
Everything else is noise.
The 1-Hour Escape Block
Instead of trying to create 20 hours, carve out a single 1-hour Escape Block each day.
What do you do in that block?
- Reverse interviews
- Outreach
- Testing offers
That’s it.
Real professionals are doing this:
- Joseph built his first Scrivener course from a Starbucks parking lot on lunch breaks.
- One of my clients launched his startup with early-morning escape blocks before work.
Consistency > time.
The Energy-First Principle
You don’t need more time.
You need to use your highest-energy zone better.
For most, that’s the morning. For others, it’s lunch or late evening.
Wherever your best energy lives — dedicate it to your Escape Block.
This one shift changes everything.
The Truth About Time
It’s not lack of time holding you back.
It’s lack of priority, clarity, and a system.
That’s why this fall, I’m coaching just 5 professionals directly to hit $2000 in revenue — building personalized escape plans that fit around a full-time job, full-time family, and a busy schedule.
