The Founder's Operating System

You check email before your feet hit the floor. By 5 PM your brain is mush, but you push through anyway and produce mediocre versions of work that matters. You're exhausted. You're proud of how hard you work. And you cannot figure out why the business has been stuck at the same revenue for eighteen months. The bottleneck is you — and this book is the operating system that fixes it.

Inside this book:

• The founder trap: why working harder keeps you stuck
• The time audit — where your hours actually go
• Energy management: the resource nobody tracks
• Calendar architecture — designing your week like a system
• The delegation trigger: when, what, and how to hand off
• The power of no — protecting your highest-value work
• Stage-specific operating systems: solo, team, and organization
• Building your integrated operating system

For founders ready to stop being the bottleneck and start being the leverage.
