Founders Focus: Time is your scarcest asset
A trusted network is something no entrepreneur should be without
Time is your scarcest asset
As a founder, you can raise money, hire people and drive things forwards. But to build something truly special you need to protect your time, and that takes discipline.
Every ping, every ‘quick chat’, every ‘can I just pick your brain?’ request — it’s all rent-seeking on your scarcest asset.
A lot of those distractions may actually be pleasant — you can help people and that feels good! However the founders who win are the ones who protect their time. They know that focus is leverage, and one hour of Deep Work on the right thing can set their day, their week, and therefore their team, up for a good week ahead.
Founders Focus exists to protect that hour. Every Monday, 55 minutes of deliberate silence — no small talk, no updates, no noise. Just space to work, and to think, on the things that matter.
