Stephan Aarstol is the founder of Tower Paddle Boards and the No Middle Man Project. Founded in 2010 and funded by billionaire Mark Cuban, Tower Paddle Boards is one of the biggest success stories in Shark Tank history. With only $100K in lifetime sales at the time of the pitch, Mark Cuban invested just $150K, and since then Tower has done over $30M in sales. Tower was the #1 brand out of over 2 million 3rd party sellers signed up for the pilot Amazon Exclusives program. They also have branched into Tower Electric Bikes and Tower Beach Club.
When was the last time you considered the efficiency of your
work week? Do you often put in over 40 hours at the office each
week? What if you are putting in more time than you need to? On
this episode of Inspired Insider, you’ll hear from business leader
and entrepreneur Stephan Aarstol. In his conversation with Jeremy,
Stephan opens up about shifting to a five hour work day, what led
him to make this significant change at his company, how he’s
endured some challenging periods in his business, and much more.
You don’t want to miss a minute of this powerful episode featuring
Stephan’s story!
If you’ve been in entrepreneurial or business circles for very
long, chance are you’ve heard about the four-hour work week. But
have you heard about the five-hour workday? Let’s face it, Tim
Ferriss’ approach won’t work for everyone, and in many ways, it is
not scalable for an entire organization. Stephan Aarstol wanted to
give himself and his employees more freedom and control over their
lives, that’s why he introduced the five-hour workday. With the
five-hour workday, Stephan has trained his workforce to work
smarter, not harder. The idea started as an experiment and ended up
paying huge dividends! Do you think your workplace could make the
shift?
How would you rate yourself when it comes to dealing with
adversity? Whether you like it or not, at some point in your
professional career you are going to have to confront adversity
head-on. Stephan Aarstol and his team at Tower Paddle Boards are
dealing with a roadblock in their business with the internet sales
tax. Sure they could throw their hands up in the air and get
frustrated about this added layer of complexity to their business,
or they could deal with the challenge in a practical way. Never one
to shy away from a problem, Stephan and his team are taking this
challenge in stride.
