In today's conversation Judith Germain speaks to Jenna Harrison about 24-hour work weeks and strategies for entrepreneurs to work smarter, not harder. Jenna discusses the mindset shift required to work less, and how overcoming the discomfort and guilt around relaxing is key. She also shares practical strategies like repurposing content and automating social media to reduce time spent.

Key Takeaways

  • 24-hour work weeks are achievable for entrepreneurs at any stage by reframing constraints and questioning assumptions
  • Working less can lead to greater creativity, productivity, and business growth when balanced properly
  • Strategies include clarifying messaging, optimising marketing channels (e.g. SEO vs social media), and setting strong boundaries
  • Reducing work hours requires addressing both practical systems and mindset/nervous system programming

In this conversation Jenna emphasises that a 24-hour work week is a metaphor for designing a business that supports your life, not the other way around. She shares how working fewer but more focused hours can actually boost productivity and creativity.
