You started your business for freedom-not to sacrifice every Saturday to it. Yet somewhere along the way, the business that was supposed to support your life began consuming it. Weekends became overflow for unanswered emails, unfinished administrative work, delayed decisions, and problems no one else seemed able to solve. Take Back Saturday reveals the nine common traps that quietly turn capable entrepreneurs into overworked employees of their own companies. These traps can look like commitment, responsibility, high standards, or good customer service-but each one makes the business increasingly dependent on its owner. Through relatable stories, practical insights, humor, and a revealing nine-trap assessment, Leslie Spoor helps you identify which patterns are stealing your time and what to do about them. You will learn how to recognize owner dependence, stop confusing exhaustion with commitment, delegate more effectively, establish stronger boundaries, and build systems that allow the business to carry more of its own weight. You do not need to abandon your ambition or stop caring about your company. You need to escape the traps that keep you permanently tethered to it. If your weekends have become another workday, Take Back Saturday will help you reclaim your time-and the life you intended your business to make possible.
