What it means
The rule is simple: if paying someone costs less than the value of the hours you'd spend, pay them, and put those hours into higher-value work or rest.
High performers delegate early. The hard part isn't the math; it's knowing the value of your own hour.
Example
| Cleaning, 4 hours at the $250,000 goal rate | $481 |
| Paying a cleaner | $160 |
| Value kept | $321 |
