How I Stopped Giving My Free Time Back to the Business

How I stopped giving back the free time I'd worked hard to earn, using a simple calendar habit that takes ten minutes a week. Score your agency here: https://www.skool.com/gtfo SUMMARY There is plenty out there telling you how to get out of the work. There's much less about what happens once you actually have free time. You don't magically maintain freedom, you get an empty space, and an empty space is the easiest thing in the world to lose. In this video I cover why free time in a calendar reads as availability rather than protection, the mistake I made of winning the time back and then giving it away cheaply on low-value work, and the fix I use now. I call it life blocking, which is time blocking pointed at your life instead of your business. Then the test I use to know whether a block will actually hold.
