Summary

Working from home feels more popular than ever. And as we do, we’re all trying to find a rhythm that’s good for our businesses and our souls, right?! I’ve been super curious about the 4-day work week philosophy for YEARS. Between reading the book Shorter: Work Better, Smarter, and Less—Here’s How” by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang and watching my best friend Amy Porterfield test it (and love it!) with her own team, I knew I just had to try it. So we, as a team, are testing out a 4-day work week for 90 days! In this episode I’m sharing a little research behind 4-day work weeks, how I finally made the decision to implement quickly, and how it’s going. Click play NOW to dive into the beauty of working better, not more, and see if this rhythm is something you’d like to test in your business, too.   GOAL DIGGER FB COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/groups/goaldiggerpodcast/ GOAL DIGGER INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/goaldiggerpodcast/ GOAL DIGGER SHOW NOTES: https://www.jennakutcherblog.com/4dayworkweek   GET 10% OFF BIOPTIMIZERS MAGNESIUM BREAKTHROUGH: https://www.magbreakthrough.com/goaldigger
