Top 5 Ways Taking Time Off Makes You A Better Business Owner w/ Michael Asare

What’s In This Episode:

Did you ever work with a workaholic? Jill did, and it was not fun. Brad considers himself to be a recovering workaholic, and now operates under the assumption that if you don't answer e-mails right away, the world won't end.

Michael Asare of FeeBelly calls in for help on how to convert the free users of his app to paid users. Jill suggests that Michael is giving too many keywords away on the free version, and so he can cut back on that and offer more information on the paid version. Brad says that for a B2C user who doesn't need to go through pages of loan documents every month, it may be worth it to have a one-time price for one document instead of someone who doesn't want to pay for a monthly subscription.

"Get some rest so that you can be more creative." - Brad

Jill and Brad then discuss the top 5 ways taking time off makes you a better business owner:

• You might be less of a work-addict. Addicts don't make good leaders.
• Getting away gives you perspective and realize what's actually important.
• Taking breaks makes you more creative!
• When you take time off, you have to delegate.
• And then there's that thing that's pretty irritating to those around you...
