The 96% Cut: Ruthless Stewardship for a 5-Hour Work Week

• Tiffany introduces the 96% overhead reduction that bought her back 30+ hours weekly without needing more revenue.

I didn't need more revenue. I needed less weight.

• Many people let business and personal expenses grow simply because they can afford them. Each unused subscription or low-value service tethers the host to extra work hours.

Every dollar you spend on a subscription you don't use... is a dollar that is tethering you to a desk.

• Ask whether stopping payment would break life or business. Host canceled AT&T after two years of overpaying $200+/month while living in Jamaica, switching to Tello for $8/month with no issues.

If I stopped paying this today, would my life or my business actually break?

• Also dropped paid Riverside.fm plan since solo episodes can be recorded in the free version.

• Evaluate whether each expense brings measurable value or genuine peace. The AT&T bill caused monthly stress rather than peace, so it was eliminated.

Is this expense making me money or bringing me peace? If it's doing neither, it's gone.

• Overhead needs differ between growth seasons and rest/maintenance seasons. Cutting back now creates a lean operation that supports a 5-10 hour work week.

Cutting back isn't a sign of failure. It's a sign of focus.

• Homework: Cancel one recurring expense that isn't serving your soul or substance. Take the quiz at moneytalkwitht.com/start to identify your path.

• Tiffany reminds listeners to spend wisely by spending less than they make.
