The system Graham uses to work
only 5 hours a Week

“Start by eliminating the things that you really don’t need. Most people skip that, and they just assume everything they’re doing is important and then they’re like, “how can I do it faster or get someone else to do it?” I think those are bad assumptions to start with. I think you should start with challenging everything you do in your business; does this make a difference and if so does it make much of a difference.”

Introduction

The entrepreneur, Youtuber, and Business Coach Graham Cochran joins me on the podcast to discuss how to automate and optimize your life and work. He shares with me the framework he uses to grow his business while only working five hours per week.

If you don’t know Graham I highly recommend checking out episode three of the podcast to learn more about his story because it’s a remarkable one. I’m really excited about his latest project to the release of his book, “How to Get Paid for What You Know,” which will be available on March 22nd.

I’ve included a link to it in the show notes and if you pre-order the book you could also get access to some pre-order bonuses. I’ve included that information in the show notes as well and listen I don’t get any kickback for promoting his book I just learned a lot from Graham I believe that this book is going to be awesome and potentially a game-changer for a lot of people.

    Meet Davey & Krista

    We've spent 15+ years designing brands and websites for creative businesses — and paying close attention to what actually works.

    Every template we've built is informed by real client projects, real conversion data, and a deep understanding of what makes someone go from browsing to booking. We don't just design for beautiful. We design for what happens after someone lands on your page.

    That's why our templates don't just come with files. They come with the guidance to use them — writing prompts, launch checklists, and systems that take you from purchase to published.

    We also teach. Our designer courses are where we train the next generation of designers, and DesignEdit is our newsletter for working creatives who want to stay ahead of AI. All of it comes from the same place: the belief that good design should make your business feel lighter, not harder.

    we're Davey & Krista
