In running your business, doing the actual work involved may entail long hours and some stress. On the other hand, this could also empower you to retire in a third of the amount of time it would normally take—and that could facilitate a more relaxing second half of your life. Here’s how: if you are working twice as many hours and gaining the added efficiency that scale offers, you are likely three times as productive. Therefore, you should make three times more money in that same period and potentially retire in a third of the time. One successful businessman was quoted as saying, “You get to work half days the rest of your life. Any 12 hours will do.” We think you can do the same, but instead, possibly work half the days for just 1/3 of your life.
