In this brief presentation, the speaker introduces the Founder's Focus Assessment, a practical, free exercise designed to help founders and entrepreneurs gain clarity about their responsibilities. The tool guides users through a brain‑dump of all tasks they handle, then categorizes them based on what they enjoy and excel at versus what they avoid, procrastinate on, or lack skill in. By visualizing these categories, founders can decide whether a task should be delegated, eliminated, or become a hiring priority. The speaker recommends running the assessment regularly—ideally each quarter or during growth phases—to continuously align work with strengths and hiring needs. A link to the free resource is provided for viewers to download and use.

Yeah, so it's called the Founder's Focus Assessment. Essentially, it's just an exercise that walks you through essentially brain dumping everything that you do and you handle, and it helps you organize based on the things that are your strengths that you enjoy and helps to pull out the things that you avoid or procrastinate on or just don't like doing or aren't good at. And it helps to create some clarity around, should we hire for this? Is this stuff that maybe we don't need to be doing anymore? And most people don't take the time to do this type of exercise, and you can do it consistently. If you want to do it quarterly through seasons of growth, That's essentially what I did when I was changing jobs every quarter. So highly recommend that you save it as a resource. Of course, it'll be linked here. Free resource, just something I like to share with people because it'll help give you clarity on if it's time for you to hire and what types of things that you need to hire for.
