Why Being Lazy Can Make You Rich

Hi guys, Noah (@noahxboa) here,

Just the other day, I found myself reminiscing about an adventure I had with my family + girlfriend last year at Universal Studios. We had the luck of snagging free tickets through some friends, but here's the twist – we decided to shell out an extra $100 each for the fast pass.

Why pay this extra money you ask? Hold that thought, because it ties into today’s eye-opener: "Why Being Lazy Can Make You Rich."

The Luxury of Buying Time 🕒

Let's talk about that $100 for a fast pass. Most would hesitate, right? But here's my take: Time is your most precious asset. It's a lesson I've learned from the best – CEOs, entrepreneurs, the big guns. These folks don't bat an eye paying for services like house cleaning or laundry. Why? Because it frees up their most valuable resource – time.

This principle isn't just for the high-flyers. Apply it to our day at Universal Studios. A standard ticket? It means hours, maybe half a day, waiting in lines. But with the fast pass, we bought back that time. If you value your hours, isn't $50 a small price to pay to reclaim 4-5 hours of your life?

Actionable Tips to Buy Back Time 💡

Now, let's get practical. You need to look at ways you can spend money to essentially ‘buy back time’. Here are some ideas you might want to try, to help you become more lazy, buy back hours (and become more efficient)…

1. Hire a Cleaner: Don't spend your weekends cleaning. Get someone to do it. Use that time to brainstorm, create, hustle.

2. Outsource Editing: I stopped editing my TikTok videos and making thumbnails. Why? Because others do it better, and faster. This frees up chunks of my schedule to focus on new ideas, and new content.

3. Get an Accountant: Numbers not your thing? Hire an accountant. Let them sweat the small stuff, while you focus on the bigger picture. That’s what I’m going…

4. Automate the Mundane: There are tools and apps for almost everything. Use them. Automation is like having a virtual assistant. It’s even worth paying a little of money to get runinng.

Being "Lazy" is Being Smart 🧠

It all boils down to this: being "lazy" – or rather, strategic about where you invest your energy – can actually make you more productive, more creative, and more successful. It's not about working harder, but smarter.

How I recently became lazy… 👀

I recently signed up with a management team to help with my TikTok personal brand. Why? Because negotiation and communication aren’t my strongest suits. By delegating these tasks to pros, I buy back precious hours. Hours that I now invest in growing my brand, my business.

Till next time, stay smart (and a bit lazy 😉),
