Your to-do list is killing your growth. Founders love being busy. But busy ≠ progress. A bloated task list tricks your brain into feeling productive, while your team, customers, and metrics stall. You don’t need 100 tasks. You need 2 that move the needle. Pick your top 2

Founders don’t fail from lack of ideas... They fail from trying to ship all 40 of them this week. Teams of two acting like teams of twenty, sprinting in ten directions, and wondering why nothing moves. Trying to “do everything” is the most expensive burnout strategy ever

If you’re “too busy” to train someone, you deserve to stay stuck. Here’s the unlock: → Open Loom → Do the task → Talk through it → Hit stop Boom. Instant SOP. Instant training doc. Instant leverage. You’re not irreplaceable. You’re just undocumented. Fix that.

“What if it doesn’t work?” It probably won’t. Not the first time. You’ll flinch. You’ll fail. You’ll get told no. But every ‘no’ is data. Every f***-up is a map. In 20+ years, the wins were nice... but the losses taught me how to build repeatable wins. Give it a shot. That’s

Your network is your net worth. But what does that mean? If you're not surrounded by people who've done what you're trying to do, you're figuring it out the hard way. And let me tell you - the hard way is expensive. I built my career on one principle: get into rooms where

Most founders burn 18-hour days trying to “figure it out themselves.” I did it too. It’s a trap. You can brute-force your way through anything… but at what cost? Your time, your energy, your growth? Torched. Here’s the unlock: There are people who are already better than you

Harsh truth for founders: If every room makes you feel smart, you’re robbing yourself of growth. Growth doesn’t happen where you’re comfortable. It happens where you’re challenged. Change rooms. Or stay exactly where you are. Your move.

One of my clients: "The only businesses that survive the next two years are the ones actually run like businesses." She's in immigration. Industry's a dumpster fire. Competitors folding. She's optimistic. Why? She knows her numbers. Built systems. Not winging it on hope.

Everyone thinks “hard work” is 18-hour days and caffeine abuse. That part can be rough, but it’s not the hardest. The real work? Tearing down the version of yourself that worked… and rebuilding it for the next level. The you who got you here won’t be the you that get's you to

🔥 Stuck, struggling or stressed founders: We go live today for the next open coaching session. It's not too late to get a spot if something in your business is keeping you up at night, causing a pit in your stomach - or worse - a pit in your bank account. This is your chance to

I watched a founder nearly lose everything because they only looked at one number. P&L looked beautiful. Revenue climbing. Profitable on paper. Bankrupt 3 months later. Your cash flow tells you if you can keep the lights on. Your P&L tells you if the business model works. One

Most founders obsess over hiring. Few obsess over attraction. Marketing and outbound aren’t just growth levers... they’re how great people find you, trust you, and stay. We’ve spent years at @iversoft building a culture and brand that: 1. Attracts top-tier developers 2.

As we prep for the 2026 FounderLink expert webinar series, I’ve been revisiting some of the absolute bangers from last year. One that still sticks with me: Podcast strategist Lee-Anne Scott (PodGuest.io) broke down how founders can turn their story into a real

As we gear up for the next FounderLink webinar series, I’ve been revisiting some of last year’s most useful sessions. This one with Andrea Sampson (Talk Boutique) is a standout. In this session, Andrea breaks down how to: - Turn fuzzy thinking into clear, persuasive stories

I've watched sales calls where the Founder (or sales rep) talked 80% of the time. Guess what? They lost those deals. The best sales conversations I've ever had—the ones that actually close—I'm listening 70-80% of the time. I'm asking questions. I'm letting them tell me what

Founders get weirdly hung up on “being in the same room.” I get it. Collaboration feels safer in person. But the level-up you get from accessing better talent globally far exceeds the collaboration lift of being in-person. Ten A-players > ten B-players with keycards. Build

We're preparing for the 2026 series of FounderLink expert webinars, and I’m reminded of all the great talks we've had previously... like this one with Theo Yeung. Theo has been in the trenches scaling sales teams at Slack and Zoom, and dropped some raw, actionable insights

Love sharing these experiences with so many great founders.
