We are not meant to win life, but rather, live it.\u201d<\/p>\n

ALAMEDA, CA, UNITED STATES, October 8, 2026 \/EINPresswire.com<\/a>\/ — Entrepreneur magazine has listed \u201cTime Freedom: Rethink Your Work and Money to Create a Life You Love Now,\u201d<\/a> the new book by financial advisor Brian Herriot, first in its \u201c5 Books That Redefine Success Beyond the Hustle.\u201d<\/p>\n

The list, published Oct. 7, also includes Scott Galloway\u2019s \u201cThe Algebra of Happiness,\u201d Mandy Balak\u2019s \u201cChasing Enough,\u201d Tonya Dalton\u2019s \u201cThe Joy of Missing Out,\u201d and Viktor E. Frankl\u2019s \u201cMan\u2019s Search for Meaning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Entrepreneur said of \u201cTime Freedom\u201d: \u201cInstead of treating [financial freedom] as a finish line, it shifts the goalposts entirely [to time freedom].\u201d<\/p>\n

Herriot argues that hustle culture has things backward. More hours and more effort don\u2019t add up to a better life. \u201cWe are not meant to win life, but rather, live it,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Saying no to the grind is one thing. Building a career without it is harder. In Part 5 of the book, \u201cCreate Free and Flexible Work,\u201d Herriot gives two practical tools for people who want to work for themselves without burning out.<\/p>\n

1) A No-Hustle Transition to Entrepreneurship:

\nMost anti-hustle advice is aimed at people who already run their own businesses. Herriot also covers the step before that: leaving a salaried job. His No-Hustle Transition framework rests on three things to get right before making the jump.<\/p>\n

> A proven service offering: Herriot says entrepreneurship doesn\u2019t require a brand-new idea. \u201cThere are very few unique ideas,\u201d he writes. He tells readers to turn the expertise they already use at work into a service. For example, a social media marketer can take on clients, and a regional finance director can work as a fractional CFO for several small companies.<\/p>\n

> A strong, active network: One relationship built on trust can do more than months of cold outreach. \u201cYou already know a lot of people,\u201d Herriot writes. \u201cYou\u2019ve just forgotten about them.\u201d The book lays out a simple plan for reconnecting with 50 people over a year.<\/p>\n

> The right entrepreneurial skills: Every field has a few skills that matter most, and the rest can wait. For a lifestyle-focused entrepreneurial business, Herriot names three: customer service, sales, and cash management.<\/p>\n

He suggests giving the transition up to a year, while a paycheck still covers the bills. That leaves time to fill gaps, build the network, and test the business without financial pressure.<\/p>\n

2) One Catalyst Instead of More Grind:

\nHerriot\u2019s second tool replaces doing more with doing one thing well. \u201cConvention tells us that to get 10% better at our job, we should do everything we\u2019re currently doing 10% harder, 10% faster, or 10% longer,\u201d he writes. \u201cBut that\u2019s just more grind.\u201d<\/p>\n

Instead, he asks readers to find their \u201cCatalyst.\u201d That\u2019s the single strategic move only they can make to grow their business exponentially. Protecting time is what makes this work. When there\u2019s no room to do everything, people are forced to find the one thing that counts.<\/p>\n

According to Herriot, a Catalyst usually falls into one of three categories: a skill, an idea, or a relationship. It works best where someone holds an unfair advantage, meaning they have something others don\u2019t. It helps even more if they love doing it, because they\u2019ll keep going after others give up.<\/p>\n

Herriot adds that skipping the hustle doesn\u2019t mean thinking small. U.S. Census Bureau data show that 519,793 one-person businesses earned more than $500,000 in 2022, up 52% from 2017.<\/p>\n
