THE APPETIZER

Have you ever stopped to think about why you spend so much time doing mindless tasks like cleaning, grocery shopping, laundry, cooking… driving?

I found myself asking this question and so I decided to add it all up.

TLDR - It was almost as much as a work week and they were all things I hated doing. So I decided to create a logic map to help justify how I could never have to do them again.

Let’s hope we can all make this happen.

And as always, I hope you enjoy my sauce.

THE MAIN COURSE:

Are You Wasting the Only Asset You Can’t Refill?

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: your time is worth way more than you think, and you’re probably wasting a huge chunk of it on stuff that doesn’t matter.

Bill Perkins wrote a book called Die With Zero that is hands down my favorite book on finance, and one I believe EVERYONE should read. The big idea is simple: life isn’t about hoarding money, it’s about maximizing fulfillment. That means treating your time like it’s your most valuable currency.

The harsh reality? Most of us burn it away doing things we “think” are productive and necessary, while daydreaming about how nice it would be to outsource them. Cleaning. Laundry. Grocery shopping. Driving. The list goes on.

Here’s the kicker: you don’t need to be a millionaire to live like one. The lifestyle you think only the rich can afford—private chef, cleaner, driver—is already accessible to you today. And not only does it cost less than you think, but it also gives you back hours of your life you can reinvest into generating more value for your business, your relationships, and yourself.

In this Main Course, I’m going to walk you through how to buy back 40+ hours a month, reclaim the freedom you thought was reserved for the wealthy, and start living the “millionaire lifestyle” at a fraction of the cost.

🕰️ 1. Your Time Costs More Than You Think

If you make $100,000 a year, your time is worth about $50 an hour.

Now here’s the gut punch: every time you spend an hour doing something low-value—like laundry, grocery shopping, or meal prep—you’re effectively spending $50. You wouldn’t hand someone a $50 bill to fold your socks, but that’s exactly what you’re doing when you waste your own time on it.

Let’s run the math so you can see just how much of your life (and money) you’re throwing away—and how cheap it actually is to buy that time back.

⏱️ The Cost of Doing It Yourself vs. Outsourcing

💥 The Big Picture

At a $100k salary, outsourcing just these four categories = ~$1,050/month of reclaimed value (or $12,600/year).

But more importantly—you just bought back ~44 hours every month.
That’s over a full work week. Every. Single. Month.

🚨 The Millionaire Mindset Shift

Most people say:

• “I wish I had a cleaner.”

• “I wish I had a private chef.”

• “I wish I had a driver.”

The truth? You can have those things TODAY. Not as a millionaire’s flex, but because the math shows you’re already paying more by doing it yourself.

Outsourcing isn’t about spending more money. It’s about buying back your life.

👉 The real question isn’t whether you can afford it.
It’s whether you can afford to keep wasting your most valuable asset: time.

💼 2. Outsource & Automate 

If you wouldn’t pay someone your hourly rate to do it, you shouldn’t be doing it. Period.

But here’s the nuance: it’s not enough to just say “Not Me.” You need to take the next step: outsource it or automate it.

• Manual data entry? → Automate with tools like Zapier or AI agents.

• Calendar Management ? → Outsource to an EA or use Calendly.

• Inbox zero at 11 PM? → Outsource to a virtual assistant or set up filters/rules that do the triage for you.

• Social media scheduling? → Automate with Buffer or Hootsuite.

Formatting decks or proposals? → Outsource to Fiverr/Upwork for $20 while you focus on the content that closes deals.

This isn’t laziness, it’s leverage. Every hour you waste on $20/hour tasks is an hour stolen from the $500/hour work only you can do: sales calls, building products, raising capital, forging partnerships, leading your team.

The best operators don’t just “work hard.” They build invisible armies of people and systems around them that multiply their output.

Your new mantra isn’t just “Not Me.” It’s: “Not Me → Outsource or Automate.”

⏳ 3. Build Your Memory Portfolio

Everyone obsesses over their financial portfolio—stocks, real estate, crypto—but almost no one thinks about their Memory Portfolio. And that’s the one that actually matters.

Here’s the idea: just like investments, memories have different stages of return depending on when you “buy” them.

• 20s = Early-Stage Investments
  High-risk, high-reward. You’ve got the most flexibility and the biggest upside. This is the time to make wild bets, chase opportunities, and throw yourself into environments that completely change your trajectory.
  

• 30s & 40s = Compounding Assets
  These are the years of stacking skills, deepening networks, and doubling down on what’s already producing returns. You’re building equity in your relationships, career, and identity.
  

• 50s+ = Dividend Years
  You’re harvesting the story you’ve built. Mentoring, giving back, enjoying the dividends of all those earlier moves.

But here’s the kicker: if you wait until you’re “ready,” you’ll miss the stages where memories have the highest compounding effect.

Because money has diminishing returns, but memories appreciate.

Take the same $5k experience at two different points:

• In your 20s, it could spark lifelong friendships, lead to a business idea, or unlock a new path.

• In your 60s, it’s just a vacation.

That’s the ROI of your Memory Portfolio. The earlier you invest, the longer those experiences compound. You’ll carry them for decades, retell them hundreds of times, and use them as raw material to build everything else in your life.

The wealthiest people aren’t the ones with the biggest bank accounts. They’re the ones with the richest portfolios of memories.

🍮 The Closing Bite

If you take nothing else from this: stop living like your time is cheap.

You don’t need to wait until you’re rich to live like you are. The chef, the cleaner, the assistant, the systems — they’re all available to you today. And the ROI isn’t just more free hours, it’s the memories and opportunities you create with those hours.

Money runs out. Time evaporates. Memories compound.

So here’s your challenge this week:

1. Run the math on your own hourly rate.

2. Pick one task from your life or work that you’ll outsource or automate immediately.

3. Use the hours you just bought back for something that compounds — sales, strategy, a new experience, or just time with the people who matter.

Because you can always make more money.
You’ll never get back the hours you waste.
