What's going on, everyone? Welcome back to the game. Today I want to talk about a topic that I feel like I've talked about in pieces all over the place, but I haven't really put in one, which is fundamentally how to get a higher return on your time by simply outsourcing humaning. Right. Like right now, you can probably buy somewhere they are between 10 and 20 years of your life back. And you can either think of that as saving time or just moving yourself forward that much faster. And so I would always want everyone who's my competition to think, how does he get so much done? And a big part of it is just having more time to do things. And if you have some money and you have less time than you'd like, I'm going to show you how to outsource time in order of cost relative to what you get back. And I'll show you seven investments that works super well in the order in doing it. And to be clear, $20,000 is what this will add up to per year in terms of total time back. But you can start for as little as 15 bucks an hour. As in as long as you make more than 15 bucks an hour, these time investments make sense for you. What if I told you there was a way to get 10 years of your life back? My name's Alex Somozy. I run Acquisition.com on portfolio of companies that did last year over $250 million in aggregate revenue. And whenever I invest in a company, the first thing I want to do is decontrain the entrepreneur, meaning I want to get them more time back. And so right now I have seven levels of optimization for time that I allow the

1:16.2

entrepreneur to basically invest in, and I will break down in order what you can do ending with

1:21.2

the total cost of $20,000 a year. But slow down, you can start for just a couple hundred bucks

1:25.8

at level one and then progress on your way and buy more of your time back.

1:30.0

The first thing is getting your meals taken care of.

1:33.2

And so whether you use Uber Eats or use pre-made meals, it's about $16 an hour in terms of cost to get this done for you.

1:41.8

And so as long as you make more than $16 an hour, you still arbitrage on your time.

1:46.5

And many people who are especially trying to reinvest in their time, even if you didn't,

1:50.4

as long as you use that extra time to increase your skill set, it's absolutely worth it.

1:55.7

And so the bucket of all the things that this takes up and gives you back in your calendars,

2:00.4

all the time you spend grocery shopping, all the time you spend planning your food, cooking, cleaning, doing the dishes, prepping food, all of that stuff disappears and goes out the window.

2:10.4

So these are all the things just outsourcing your meal prepping to gets you back. So number one is groceries. So all the time you spend driving to the

2:18.5

store, coming back from the store, unloading the groceries into your pantry, all of that time. The next is meal planning because believe it or not, you think, well, what am I going to have for dinner night? And that takes mental bandwidth. On top of that, you have, okay, well, if I know what I'm have i still have to cook it right and then after you do the cooking what do you do you got to do the

2:17.4

cleaning right and then on top of that you have okay well if i know what i'm going to have i still have to cook it right and then after you do the cooking what do you do you got to do the cleaning right and then on top of that you then have to

2:38.2

still prep all the food as in like i have to store it and i have to put it away in the fridge and i have to portion it out if you're going to do something like that and whether you do it at the time you cook or when you eat it, you're still portioning it for yourself, and it still takes time,

2:33.6

and it still takes bandwidth. And the average American spends 13.5 hours per week, huge, per week,

3:00.1

right? That's two full work days. Think about that, right? 13 and a half hours a week,

3:04.6

just doing this stuff that's not really value additive. And so right now,

3:10.1

you can get two meals a day, which is what I recommend, have a shake in the morning, do a lunch

3:15.0

and a dinner, makes it very easy, times 30 days per month. And that's about $750 per month. Now, that sounds like a

3:23.8

big ticket. But remember, you're not buying groceries anymore. You're not buying anything else because all of that food is getting delivered and just don't eat anything besides that. It also, as a side note, is a great way to get in shape if you're a little bit overweight. Now, I will give you an alternative if you're somebody who likes to have a little bit more variety. And so there's a lot of,

3:40.9

you know, I would say self-finance, whatever type people, they'll say, never eat out and all that
