Time is money. Sounds so clichéd, right? It's like one those random quotes that sound meaningful but actually have no meaning at all. And yet, time IS money. Literally.Let's say you are running a small business. If you open at 9 am every morning, you will be conducting business from 9 am. If you were to sleep in for two hours and walk in to work at 11 am, you have essentially lost two hours worth of business. So, yes, time is money. If time is money, it only makes sense to get as much out it a
