In 2009, Chris Ducker was working 14-hour days, six days a week, spending very little time with family and working ‘in’ his business, instead of ‘on’ it and was tired in every possible way. He's come a long way since then, creating the new business Virtual Staff Finder, the New Business Podcast, and his new book - Virtual Freedom: How to Work with Virtual Staff to Buy More Time, Become More Productive, and Build Your Dream Business. He's also released a podcast series that corresponds to the new book.

• Super hero syndrome
  
• Chris' definition of the word Entrepreneur = To provide answers to questions and solutions to problems
  
• Being a 16 hour a day, 7 day a week entrepreneur doesn't make you a more successful entrepreneur.
  

Chris's 3 lists:

• The things you hate doing
  
• The things you can’t do
