Welcome, Business Owners & CEOs
Focus Like a Boss is the premium program for business owners and CEOs who want to growing their business profits while reducing their working hours.
Immature business owners are easily distracted — they have no long-term strategy and don’t know where they’re going.
Working less in your agency requires focus. Because if you don’t know what works, you have no choice but to use brute force, work long hours, and say yes to every opportunity. It’s too much.
When you try to do too much, you do nothing… and yet you still find yourself overwhelmed and spinning your wheels.
This is why distracted CEOs feel broke and burnt out… They’re trying to grow their business using brute force. They start over from scratch every few months, and fail to build long-term momentum and focused margin into their agency.
The CEO of Overwhelm: You have no margin or breathing room. You can hardly make any decisions because there’s literally no time to pause and think. You’ve become so buried in work that it’s no longer clear what the best next project or task should be.
The CEO of Stuck: Your business is slowing down; running on past fumes. But you don’t know how to fix it. You’ve got no clear plan for how to spend your time or what direction to go. So you just fill up your time with shallow work and it feels wasteful.
The CEO of Control: Yeah, you can solve any problem. And that’s the problem. You have no issue with doing the work — you will figure it out. But your inability to slow down and get clear has made you the bottleneck and it’s costing you more than you realize.
The CEO of Overthinking: You (mostly) know what you need to do… but you still haven’t done it. You’ve got 100 opportunities and priorities, and you’re overthinking everything all the time. Frankly, it’s exhausting. (And stop calling me Frankly.)

True story… I used to work 70 hours per week. Yet I still felt behind with my never-ending issues at work! I kept thinking I would eventually get ahead of the craziness and start making progress…
After years of this hamster wheel, I found myself on the edge burnout. I knew I needed to do things differently. But how?
to work on high-level opportunities, not just stay stuck working inside my own company without any growth or freedom.
my company to be able to grow without my day-to-day input.
to take more than just a week or two of vacation per year (without checking in when I was supposed to be "out of the office”.)
a team that could think for themselves, drive growth, and free me up to focus on the things only I could do.

From increasing revenue, growing MRR, finally stepping out of the day- to-day, getting out of the weeds and unstuck, having a record-breaking sales quarter, starting a new business, or even just hiring their first rock-star assistant…
Here are a few of the success stories from agency owners and consultants just like you who took a bet and chose to invest in their business, their team, and themselves…

Before this program, my schedule was jam-packed, and I didn’t have a clear vision of what I should be focusing on as the Founder and CEO.
Business was going well, but we were all overwhelmed and didn’t have clarity on our longer-term vision for the company.
After working with Shawn, I aligned my team on our core business values and strategy in our end-of-year planning. By the next quarter (Q1!), we were on track to increase our annual revenue by nearly 50%.
What Shawn's training brought to our business culture has been nothing short of revolutionary.
When we work from the place of margin our company just runs so much smoother and helps us build in a sustainable way. And on top of all of it, our employees (and their spouses!) love us for it.
Oh, and we joined the Inc. 5000 list after implementing it, so it has also been a fuel for growth!
I’ve since been able to step out of the day-to-day of my business to focus on new growth and opportunities.

After going through Shawn's training, I was able to re-focus on the goals I had for my business AND my personal life.
Within just a few months I was able to cut way back on business travel AND yet my company also went on to have its best quarter ever.

I felt stuck in my business. I’d gotten good at what I do, and so the thrill was gone. But I didn’t want to give up the freedom I had with business ownership and take a 9 – 5. Instead, I hoped FAB would help me connect with a younger, less-burdened version of myself, and rediscover the passions I had for my business.
For me, the program was huge in identifying what I wanted to do with my business. I have stopped treating my business like a hobby and, as a result, I work a lot less hours now than I did in years past!
This program is especially valuable for small business owners who lack clarity on how to make progress, or who have taken on too much and are approaching burnout. By the time you’re done, you’ll be ready to run a business that is simultaneously more financially effective (you make more money!) and kinder to yourself (you work less hard and you’ll celebrate your progress).
