The Four-Day Workweek

The Secret to Leading Without Limits

Women Are Winning...

But At What Cost?

Women are stepping into bigger leadership roles than ever before.


They are CEOs, executives, and entrepreneurs.


They are making decisions, breaking barriers, and building empires.

But behind the success? Exhaustion.

Meet Victoria Hathaway.

She’s a high-level executive, a mother, and a leader.


On the outside, she has everything.


On the inside, she’s drowning.

She works 12+ hour days.


She handles endless meetings, emails, and expectations.


She’s exhausted but keeps pushing through.

Because that’s what strong women do, right?

Wrong.

Women have been told that "having it all" means doing it all.


That hard work equals success.

But if that were true… why are so many women burned out, overwhelmed, and running on empty?

The Cost of Burnout: Why This Can’t Continue

🚨 72% of women in leadership report feeling burned out​.


🚨 Stress is linked to hormone imbalances, anxiety, and decision fatigue.


🚨 Burnout destroys productivity, creativity, and emotional resilience.


🚨 And the worst part? Most women don’t even realize it’s happening until it’s too late.

If you’ve ever thought:


"I have no time for myself."


"I can’t keep doing this forever."


"I feel guilty no matter what I choose."

That’s burnout talking. And it’s stealing your potential.

But here’s the truth:

Working less doesn’t mean achieving less.


The key to success isn’t more hours it’s more impact.

And that’s where the Four-Day Workweek comes in.


What If You Could Work Less—And Achieve More?

What if you could:


Cut your workweek down to four days without losing productivity?


Have more time for yourself without guilt?


Feel energized and in control instead of overwhelmed?

This isn’t wishful thinking.

The four-day workweek is already proving that leaders can:


🔥 Boost productivity by 25%


🔥 Reduce stress and mental fatigue


🔥 Make smarter, faster decisions


🔥 Lead more powerfully with more balance

The old way of leadership says


"Sacrifice your health, time, and energy for success."

The new way says:


"Work smarter. Lead better. Live fully."

This isn’t about doing less.


It’s about focusing on what actually matters.

At RAMS by Baz, we help women leaders shift to a four-day workweek without sacrificing success.

The secret? The RAMS System.

Mastery → Develop habits that sustain long-term leadership efficiency
Systems → Use AI, automation, and delegation to optimize your workload​

The goal?


Less stress. More leadership. More life.

Because real leaders don’t just work hard.
They work smart.


Victoria’s Story: From Burnout to Balance

Victoria used to work 12+ hour days.


She said yes to everything.


She never felt like she was doing enough.

Then she made a radical shift.

She implemented the Four-Day Workweek.

And everything changed:

40% increase in leadership efficiency
More time with her kids without feeling guilty
Less stress, more confidence, better decision-making

"I thought I had to work harder to be successful," Victoria says.


"Now I know that true leadership is about balance, boundaries, and owning my time."

Her career didn’t slow down. It scaled up.


Her family didn’t suffer. It thrived.


Her energy didn’t drain. It soared.

This is what’s possible.


How to Start Your Four-Day Workweek

(Without Fear)

You don’t need to flip your schedule overnight.


Start small.

🔹 Step 1: Audit Your Workload What’s wasting your time?


🔹 Step 2: Delegate or Automate What can be handed off?


🔹 Step 3: Pick a No-Work Day Even if it’s once a month at first.


🔹 Step 4: Set Clear Boundaries Protect your time like a CEO.


🔹 Step 5: Track Your Impact Watch your productivity rise.

Overcoming Your Biggest Fears

(Because I Know You Have Them)

“Won’t this hurt my career?”


Actually, companies that reduce work hours see higher productivity, better retention, and more innovation.

“My company will never go for this.”

Then start for yourself. One day a month. Then two. Show them it works.

“I don’t have time to restructure everything.”


You don’t have time not to. The longer you wait, the deeper burnout sets in.

What’s scarier?


Restructuring your work to be healthier and more powerful?


Or staying stuck in exhaustion, burnout, and regret?

This is your moment to take back control.

My Final Thoughts. Lead Without Limits

The Four-Day Workweek isn’t just a trend.
It’s the future of leadership.

One where women can:
Lead at the highest level without exhaustion
Achieve more while working smarter
Have time for what matters without guilt

Are you ready to break free from burnout and lead boldly?
