Clearly, Blake understands the power of three, as each section is further subdivided into three overarching chapter concepts for example, “Align” asserts that a business project must line up with one’s “Values,” be compatible with how one focuses one’s “Energy,” and draw on one’s “Strengths.” At times, the book seems a bit too tightly organized, but Blake makes it work by weaving together short, engaging chapters that are chock full of relevant examples and useful sidebars. Its three stages (“Align, Design, Assign”) provide a natural structure for the book itself, whose three parts describe the stages in detail. A comprehensive efficiency guide for solo entrepreneurs and small-business owners.īusiness owner/podcaster Blake, author of the career-development book Pivot (2016), makes a convincing case for working smarter, not harder, in a book centered around a compelling question: “How can we earn twice as much in half the time, with ease and joy, while serving the highest good?” When she set out to build her own business after working at Google, Blake faced the typical challenges of self-employment, but instead of succumbing to income deficiencies and overwork, she restructured her business based on her emerging belief that “business stress is a systems problem.” That belief is effectively the platform for this book, because Blake intelligently demonstrates how her own system-the “Free Time Framework”-can facilitate business success and also free up time.
