Founders Focus: Distraction is the default, but it doesn’t have to be
A trusted network is something no entrepreneur should be without
Distraction is the default, but it doesn’t have to be
The world is designed to break your focus. Notifications, group chats, “just a sec” messages; every minute there’s something demanding your attention.
But founders don’t get paid to react. They get paid to think, to create, to decide. What founder should be doing is very 80/20. But that needs serious focus.
Deep Work is how you reclaim that power. It’s choosing, for one hour, to do the work that actually matters.
That’s why we built Founders Focus; to make that choice easier. Every Monday, founders around the world do the hard thing, the important thing, the ‘20’ thing that’ll being the ‘80’ things.
👉 Choose focus over noise. Join us here.
