Book Review of “9 Ways to Leave Your Day-to-Day Operations” by Lloyd Thompson

How to step back from the grind without stepping away

Ever thought about how much time you could save and better use for your business if someone would take care of the day to day operations in the same manner as you would do?

The book “9 Ways to Leave Your Day-to-Day Operations” shows exactly that as a highly practical guidebook for business owners who would love to step back without stepping away.

This book sits in somewhere in the triangle of business, self-help and leadership. Instead of long fluffy theory it only focuses of what helps to get the most out of it — as the target audience is keen to get time back instead of time wasting by reading what’s not relevant. It is like a field manual for entrepreneurs seeking to prevent burnout and concentrate on the company’s vision.
