Wins & Stories From Other Bosses

Nate Hagerty

Founder, Tax Pro Marketer

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!

Jay Shutter

Founder CEO of Illuminas (market research consultancy)

The way Shawn has put all the pieces together, and then guides you through the things that you are trying to do on your own… it's a game changer.

Before Shawn’s program, I had never set personal goals. I mean, I had goals... I wanted to be successful. I wanted to grow my business. I wanted to raise my family and all those things… But it wasn't like I had a plan. I was on autopilot.

It wasn't until the Focus Course that I realized I needed to write down some of these things and get them done before it's too late.

And so to me, it was a game changer for my life and my business, and I wish I'd done this 30 years ago.

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 went on to have its best quarter ever.

Julie Hoffmann

Founder and CEO, JH Philanthropy (Philanthropic strategy and consulting)

Before joining Boss Board, 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.

I learned so much from my first six months in Focus Like a Boss and quickly implemented the tools, tips, and best practices shared by Shawn and other members of my cohort.

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%. Thanks to this clarity and growth, I was then able to roll out comprehensive benefits to my team two years earlier than I expected.

FAB taught me that my role as the CEO is to provide clarity, vision, and resources for my team members.

My greatest joy is building a solid company that invests in and supports its team members, while also empowering our clients to have their greatest social impact on their communities. I can now accomplish both of these goals, thanks to the Boss Board!

Shawn Blanc

Your Boss (j/k)

👋 Hey there! I'm Shawn and I am so excited to work with you!

I’m a small business owner since 2011, focusing on productivity systems and living in Kansas City with my wife and our three boys.

♥️ Married for 18 years with 3 boys. Send pizza! 🍕

For more than 20 years, I have been learning and teaching about focus, margin, and business.

I’ve spoken about these topics at conferences and workshops; I've taught them to private groups and one-on-one clients; and my online courses have helped more than 17,000 people.

I absolutely love my work and my schedule. I have managed to build a dream job inside my dream company working with my dream team. But work isn't everything to me. I also love the life that my business provides for me and those around me.

But it didn't always used to be this way...

My Journey From Overwhelmed to Focused (with a growing, thriving business)

You guys! I used to work 70 hours per week. And even then, with all those hours, 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 on meaningful work.

Eventually I quit that job to begin working for myself. But guess what? I brought those bad work habits to my own company, and I still found that I was always chasing my to-do list. I never felt satisfied at the end of my work day; there was always more to be done. Work was always on my mind.

When my first son was born, I realized that I needed do to better. I didn’t want my work life to dominate my time and energy. But, at the same time, I still had a strong desire to do meaningful work.

These seemingly-opposing forces shouldn’t have to fight one another. I knew it was okay to have a thriving work life while also having an awesome personal life.

I wanted to be the BOSS of my company... working on higher-level problems, not just stuck working inside my own company.

I wanted a company that could GROW even without my day-to-day input.

I wanted to take more than a week or two of vacation per year (without checking in when I was supposed to be "out of the office".)

I wanted a team that could think for themselves, drive growth, and free me up to focus on the things only I could do.

✓  Allow everyone in my company to take off two months (paid) every year.

Founder & CEO, ConvertKit

Shawn is an expert on productivity and creativity, particularly how the two go hand in hand. I'd highly recommend his training, which will show you how to get more out of your time and spend your energy doing the things you truly want to do.

Our whole team at ConvertKit had a chance to do his Focus Course and it has had some great lasting results for us.

Marie Poulin

Shawn knows his stuff. I'm consistently inspired by him, his work, and the unique approaches he takes to running his company and leading his team. He brings an authentic warmth, kindness, and approachability to this space that is sorely needed.
