Summary

Have you ever thought, “When I am rich, I will hire someone to do my boring chores”? Well, in this video, Cody says that is completely backward! She says that buying back your time is actually how you get rich.

She shares a funny but shocking story about a billionaire friend. He told her she had a “poor person’s mindset” because she was still getting her own gas for her car! He explained that buying back your time is about spending your time on the things you are best at, because time is the only asset we cannot make more of.

Many of us fall into a trap. We think, “If I don’t do it myself, it won’t get done right”. But Cody gives us the “Dollar Per Hour” rule. Imagine your attention is worth 100 dollars an hour. If you spend your time doing a simple 20-dollar-an-hour task, like going on grocery runs or checking your emails, you are basically setting 80 dollars on fire! Instead, you can hire an assistant, teach them your rules, and save your valuable time to do bigger things.

What a cool way to think about our time, right? Now, it is time to practice these awesome English expressions! Let’s move on to our “listen and repeat” section. It is very simple: just listen to the short audio clip and speak out loud exactly what you hear. This is the absolute best way to make your English sound natural and confident! Take a deep breath, clear your throat, and let’s get talking!
