Why Founders Need “Deep Work” Days

Picture this: It’s Monday morning, and my calendar is packed. 

Back-to-back calls. 

Random gaps that aren’t long enough to do meaningful work but just long enough to lose focus.

Clients. Team members. Vendors. All needing “just a minute” of my time.

By Friday, I’m wiped. 

Missed deadlines. 

Sales calls that didn’t show. 

My team feels neglected.

Clients didn’t get my best work. 

And, worst of all, the big projects, the ones that actually grow the business—sat untouched.

I told myself, “You’ve got to be available for everyone. That’s how you succeed.”

Spoiler: 

That’s how I burned out.

Then I made a change. A simple one.

I blocked off every Monday. No calls. No meetings. No interruptions.

Monday became sacred. 

It was just me and the work that mattered.

Here’s what happened next:

• I hit deadlines.

• My sales calls became better because I wasn’t drained.

• Client retention went up because I was actually delivering what I promised.

It worked so well that I claimed Fridays too. 

Fridays were full of last-minute cancellations anyway, so why not turn them into productive time?

Fast forward to today, I only take calls two days a week. 

That’s it.

The rest?

• It’s deep work.

• Building the business.

• Crafting better offers. 

• Helping our Cash Architects hit their next revenue milestones.

The best part?

My clients and prospects didn’t rebel. 

They adapted. 

The ones who couldn’t find time on my calendar? 

Turns out they weren’t great fits anyway.

And now I’m working toward our biggest goal yet: $200K/month profit by the end of 2025.

All because I gave myself permission to step away and work on what really matters.

So, if you’re drowning in your own business, try this:

Block out two days.
Claim them as your own.

No calls. No meetings. Just uninterrupted focus on the work that moves the needle.

Your future self—and your business—will thank you.

PS: If you’re tired of chasing leads and doing all the outreach yourself, join the Outreach Automation Blueprint Workshop on Jan 30th at 1 PM EST.

We’ll walk you through how to:

• Hire and train a VA who books 1–2 calls daily without guesswork.

• Build a LinkedIn outreach system that runs on autopilot for less than $6/hour.

• Free up your time to focus on what matters while still growing your business.

No fluff. No theory. Just a proven system you’ll have up and running in days.
