Whether you're a student, entrepreneur, or even stay at home parent, dividing your free time between productivity and personal time can be difficult. How do you maximize each hour of productivity so that you are only focused on the task at hand, leaving you free to do other more enjoyable things? And...how do you make sure your free time is truly FREE...free of guilt, free of stress, and free of feeling anxious for not being "busy"? Both of these things require practice and can be tough to implement and manage with your already overloaded schedule.

About this title

About the Author

Chandler Bolt
Chandler was bitten by the entrepreneurial bug at an early age when he saw that he could make a lot more money working for himself. While his friends were off searching for jobs, he was out starting businesses. 
 
He began early (age 11) by selling his personal snacks at scout camp and, by age 17 he hired his friends to help him operate his landscaping business that earned him $10,000 for college. All in all, by age 20 he started and ran over $320,000 in businesses.

During this time, he taught other college students to run their own successful businesses and received the "Entrepreneur of the Year" award from Young Entrepreneurs Across America.
 
Chandler now speaks to students across the country teaching them the lessons he's learned as a young entrepreneur and encouraging them to take the entrepreneurial leap.


James Roper

James has been an outlier his entire life. 

Brought up in a small town where most of his peers truly embodied the "small town" mentality, James was always looking for ways to grow. A rule-abiding rebel growing up, James continuously found ways to push societal limits as far as he could, just out of curiosity.

When he was a sophomore at The University of South Carolina, he started his own painting business with Young Entrepreneurs Across America and over the next 3 years progressed up the executive ladder to become the first YEAA executive in the state of SC.

After one year of college, James left his general manager with YEAA role to pursue his ultimate passion in life: professional speaking. Leaving guaranteed revenue streams behind, with little money in the bank, James began his professional speaking career. 

Within 6 months he was booked for collegiate orientations and multiple leadership conferences, and - oddly enough - he even created a personal growth workshop for a local theater's apprentice program.

James now has the privilege of traveling the country sharing messages about positivity, Gen-Y, peer leadership, productivity, and much more.
