Three Personal Hires Every Entrepreneur Needs To Stop Wasting Time

Most entrepreneurs obsess over business hires—virtual assistants, sales teams, marketing pros. But the real game-changer? Hiring in your personal life.

Because let’s be real…
You’re probably wasting 10+ hours a week on stuff you shouldn’t be doing.

Cleaning. Mowing the lawn. Cooking every meal.
All of it steals your time, energy, and focus.

And if you’re serious about building a $10M life (not just a $10M business), you need to buy back your time—starting with these 3 personal life hires.

Maid Service (House Cleaner)

Time Saved: 3-5 hours per week

Cost: $100-$150 per cleaning (bi-weekly) → $200-$300 per month

Break-even income: If your time is worth $50/hour, this pays for itself in 4+ hours

Here’s the truth: Your time is too valuable to spend cleaning toilets.

If you’re making $50 an hour or more, and you’re still vacuuming, dusting, and scrubbing your kitchen, you’re literally throwing money in the trash.

Let’s do the math:

• You probably spend an hour a day cleaning up. That’s 5-7 hours a week lost.
• A cleaner can knock it out in 90 minutes, once a week.
• Cost? Maybe $100 per cleaning.

And suddenly, your house is always spotless, and you never have to think about it.

That’s worth it.

Lawn Care / Landscaping

Time Saved: 2-3 hours per week

Cost: $50-$75 per cut (bi-weekly) → $100-$150 per month

Break-even income: If your time is worth $35/hour, this pays for itself in 3+ hours

Look, mowing the lawn isn’t hard… but it’s a waste of your time.

You spend an hour or two every weekend pushing a mower, trimming hedges, and raking leaves. For what?

A landscaping service handles it for $50 a week—faster, better, and without you sweating in the sun.

And if your time is worth more than $35 an hour, you’re losing money every time you do it yourself.

If you want your weekends back, stop mowing your own lawn.

Meal Prep or Personal Chef Service

Time Saved: 5-7 hours per week

Cost: $8-$12 per meal → $300-$600 per month

Break-even income: If your time is worth $40/hour, this pays for itself in 8+ hours

Here’s a wild stat: The average person spends 7+ hours a week on food.

That includes...

• Grocery shopping
• Cooking
• Cleaning up
• Staring into the fridge wondering what to eat

Now imagine never thinking about meals again.

A meal prep service drops off fully prepped, healthy meals—ready to go. Or, if you want to get fancy, a personal chef can cook everything fresh.

Either way, you free up your time while eating better than you would otherwise.

If you’re making $40+ an hour, this pays for itself.

Bonus: A Virtual Assistant for Personal Tasks

Time Saved: 3-5 hours per week

Cost: $10-$35 per hour ($200-$600 per month for 5-10 hours of work)

Break-even income: If your time is worth $50/hour, this pays for itself in 4+ hours

Most people think of virtual assistants for business. But the smart move? Hiring one for your personal life.

A virtual assistant can...

• Book flights and hotels
• Pay bills, schedule appointments and handle paperwork
• Get returns started, order gifts and manage errands

Basically, all the annoying admin work that clogs up your day? Gone.

And if your time is worth $50+ an hour, paying someone $25/hour to do these tasks is a no-brainer.

Final Breakdown: Is It Worth It?

If you hire out these 3 things, the benefits will compound on top...

• Saving 15-20 hours a week
• Getting back your focus
• Your home runs smoother

Total Cost? $600-$1,000 per month

Is it worth it?

If your time is worth $50+ per hour, you’re actually saving money by offloading these tasks.

Most entrepreneurs think hiring is only for business. But the reality?

If you’re serious about building a $10M life, not just a $10M business, you need to stop wasting time on low-value work.

Buy back your time. Focus on what matters. Build a life that works for you.
