Is Admin Work Slowing Down Your Growth? Here's How to Get Your Time Back

Are you drowning in emails, stuck doing admin work, and thinking, “I could be scaling my business right now?”  

The Hidden Trap of ‘Work About Work’

You’re not alone. Studies show that 60% of your time is probably spent on what’s called “work about work”—the small, time-consuming tasks that keep you busy but don’t contribute directly to your business growth. This includes activities like sifting through emails, tracking down documents, and juggling constantly shifting priorities.

But here’s the kicker: This administrative grind only leaves 27% of your time for the work you’re truly skilled at—the tasks that align with your expertise and add the most value to your business. And even more alarming, only 13% of your time is left for strategic planning—the very thing that drives long-term success. Sounds familiar?

Why You Feel Stuck and Overwhelmed

It’s not you; it’s your workflow. If you’re feeling stuck or stretched thin, chances are that your daily tasks are weighing you down, keeping you from focusing on what really matters: growing your business.

Imagine what you could achieve if you could free up even a fraction of that time:

• Developing a new product.
• Building strong client relationships.
• Enhancing your marketing strategy.
• Focusing on your core business operations.

But how do you get that time back?
