Here's my system for intentional focus I've been putting together recently, using @NotionHQ.
It's not perfectly representative of how my time is spent, especially in regards to Baremetrics, as a ton of my time there is spent responding to messages/emails throughout the day.
I view this, generally speaking, as "project focus time" where I'm working on a very specific thing during each time slot.

I could probably batch more of the message/email stuff that's currently spread throughout the day.

1/ One of the biggest misconceptions I see from first-time founders is what multiples they could sell their company for.

So, let's talk about that a bit, in an effort to downplay the notion that you'll get filthy rich from your company.
2/ I'm going to overgeneralize some things here, for the sake of brevity. Yes, I understand there are always exceptions, but chances are you aren't it.

First up, let's talk about the reasons someone buys a company.
3/

1. Flipping
2. Revenue
3. Acquihire
4. Strategic

Again, there are other reasons, but those are the big ones.

1/ We sold @Baremetrics Intros for $100,000 last year. Storytime!

2/ In 2018 we launched a product called Baremetrics Intros, which essentially helped companies and investors find each other based on their actual data instead of just who they knew. Three months later…we shut it down.

3/ It was, commercially, a failure. We just couldn’t get any investors (our target) to fork over any cash. We opted to shut it down instead of going deeper down an already risky rabbit hole.

1/ Story time on one of my biggest professional regrets.

Back in 2006, I was deep in the freelance world, doing UI design for all sorts of companies.

Somehow, Adobe ended up reaching out to me to do some exploratory UI work for a mobile design product they were working on.
2/ I was a year out of design school and had been freelancing full-time for just a few months. I was nervous working with a company that large...especially one so well known in the design world.
3/ Obviously it was very flattering that they wanted to work with me, but I had a debilitating case of imposter syndrome. I was in my early 20's working with folks who'd been in the industry for decades.
