I am a huge fan of Mike's. He really understands what an entrepreneur is going through. This book helps you refocus on getting your time back. It is a must read for any entrepreneur in any industry. The steps and techniques work!!!!

I listened to this on audible. many great tips and reminders for running and building a business. some of the ideas for designating work and having a dashboard so you know exactly what is going on in the business are brilliant. I love the can do style of this book

I am so thankful I learned about Clockwork, Revised and Expanded. I have been saying for quite a while that I need to become unnecessary in my business as I work way more than I want and don't have as much free time with my family as I'd like. And when I attend conferences or have to be away for a while, I have to log on early in the morning or late at night to review messages to see if there is anything I need to handle.

A few months ago I was interviewing someone on my podcast about being able to take a 4-week vacation and how reading the book Clockwork changed her from an entrepreneur to a shareholder in her business. She said her life changed, and I knew I needed to read this book. And then I saw an e-mail with the opportunity to read it in advance and give feedback. I took tons of notes, and I am excited about implementing the information in the book so I can be away on vacation and not worry about if the business needs me for something. I told my Operations Assistant that I am buying the book for her to start to read and we will then work together to plan out all the steps needed to allow everyone to take extended vacations.

I will also have my staff read the book so they understand what we are trying to do and why they are important to making my reality happen (and that we can plan for them to take 4-week vacations as well!)

I know once I have been able to make my business run like Clockwork that my life will change. I won't feel so overwhelmed with everything I have to do and the long hours I am working. I see the light at the end of the tunnel, and I can't wait for the day I'm unnecessary for my company to run effectively.

Thanks to Mike Michaelowicz and his desire to end entrepreneurial poverty prompting him to write resources for business owners (I'd already read and implemented Profit First, and I'm looking forward to the changes my business will have once we implement Clockwork).

Are you a gambler? I bet that you hate gambling. Otherwise, you wouldn't be working yourself to the bone 80 hours a week. Your last real vacation was six years ago, and you only know this because your partner reminded you that you promised to take a week off this summer, and now summer is gone.

Everyone says they want to work for themselves, but they are scared to make the leap. You and I are different. We already made the leap of faith to start our own business, and we realize that running a business is less risky than working for someone else.

Unfortunately, instead of living the entrepreneurial dream, you are constantly working in your business to keep it running profitably. You need to work ON your business, but you don't know how. You need to learn how to design a business that doesn't depend upon you for growth, profit, and happy customers.

Mike Michalowicz discovered how to get his business to run itself, and he wrote Clockwork to show you how to design your business to run profitably without you. After writing the first edition of Clockwork, after teaching hundreds of entrepreneurs how to implement the principles of Clockwork, and after clockworking his own business, Mike decided to revise and update Clockwork. It has what we all crave, real-world examples of people like you and me clockworking their business.

Mike writes in a style that is funny and easy to read. The funniest parts are stories about his own entrepreneurial mistakes (the same mistakes you and I make every day). I read the first edition of Clockwork in 2019, and I loved it. I only wish I had implemented his ideas more aggressively. If I had, my business would have grown faster, and I would have been able to take even more time off. In the past three years, my business has doubled in size. This year my 79-year-old dad and I were able to climb Mt. Hood during my three-week vacation while my team kept the business going. This week I am relaxing with my two youngest daughters, reading Clockwork Revised and Expanded, and designing my company's future. Next week I fly to Myrtle beach for a vacation with my fiance and no children. In January 2024, I plan to be skiing for the entire month, and I will not be checking work emails.

Buying this book is a true no-brainer. At best, you can take your four-week vacation. At worst, you will learn how to run your business with twice the efficiency. Either way, I bet Mike has a couple of pearls of wisdom you can use immediately to improve your personal life and make your business more profitable. I'll be reading Mike's new book for a second time to see if I can find a couple more ideas to clockwork my business in 2023.

This book is great for business owners looking for a simple and powerful system to unlock the potential of their business. Through the well organized presentation we learn the exact process to follow that allows your business to run without you, The examples are useful, and the author achieves his purpose of simplifying entrepreneurship.

What I found especially helpful were the tips on how to apply his method when you are a solopreneur or the only one in the business who "can deliver." I look forward to integrating this system into my own business.

An excellent approach to “time” management. This book addressed the truth about time and the choices we make.

WOW! If you read the original Clockwork, this book is a MASSIVE upgrade, with a totally new way to think about automating your business. Especially when it comes to your Top Client, Big Promise & QBR, and then rolling it out to your team so they always know the #1 thing to do that will keep your business moving forward without your oversight needed. I implemented the original Clockwork into my business in 2018 with only 3 people on my team. Today, I have 16 people, and the business runs about 99% of the time without needing me - and Clockwork is one of the main books that help me do that. But the new insights in this Upgraded Clockwork version I believe can help me get to 100% so the business never has to rely on me for anything other than testing out new ideas. Mike makes running a business SO simple. And I always regret not reading his books the minute they come out, because my business ALWAYS gets better when I do. So please get this book and start reading TODAY. Even if you get one small insight from this book, I know it will return massive benefit to your business over the next few days, weeks & years.
