EMIT

A book by Drew Griggs · Coming 2027

EMIT

Because All of Our Ideas on TIME Are Backwards

For the owner, the leader, the salesperson who is hitting every number and still feels like work owns them. The one who keeps saying “one day.”

Presale news, the release date, and the stories that did not make the book. No spam. Leave anytime.

Do the math

Eighteen years with a kid is about 158,000 hours.

52,000 asleep
52,000 at work
52,000 at home

Drew did that math about his son, Beau, and the number stopped him cold.
Then he did something about it.
EMIT is that something.

What’s inside

This is not a book you read.
It is a book you do.

Twenty-three chapters in four parts. Homework at the end of every one. Written the way Drew talks, because the people who have read it say it sounds exactly like him.

  1. Part one

    Mindset

    Why every idea you were handed about time is backwards, and what to believe instead.

  2. Part two

    Heartbeat

    The people and the reasons the hours are for. The part that will get you.

  3. Part three

    Systems

    The calendar, the boundaries, and the habits that make the hours actually show up.

  4. Part four

    The Long Game

    Keeping it, year after year, when the numbers and the noise come back for you.

Who it is for

This book is for the business owner or salesperson with loved ones at home who is hitting every number and still feels like work owns him.
The one who keeps saying “one day” and “I wish I had the time.”
