About Author

Hello. My name is Shawn and I am honored to be your host and guide through The Focus Course.

I’m a writer, small-business owner, productivity coach, and creative entrepreneur living in Kansas City with my wife and our three boys.

For more than a decade, I have been learning and teaching about creativity, diligence, and focus. I’ve spoken about these topics at conferences and workshops, and my online courses have helped thousands of people.

My Story, Briefly

I used to work 80 hours per week. And even with all those hours, I still felt trapped by the never-ending issues of my work. I kept thinking that I would eventually get ahead of the craziness and start making progress on meaningful work.

Eventually I quit my job to begin working for myself. But even still I 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 son was born, I realized 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 have spent years figuring out solutions to the challenges we all face related to focus.

We live in an age where the Internet lives in our pocket, and it seems like everyone everywhere is both distracted and in a hurry.

I’ve examined my own habits, studied many other solutions, and rigorously tested different approaches over and over again. And I have worked hard to create a lifestyle that is conducive to doing my best creative work without sacrificing my personal and family life.

What I teach in the Focus Course is the same thing that has allowed me to grow a thriving business, do meaningful work that I’m proud of, and give time to my family.

It is how I keep all the areas of my life in harmony and thriving, despite the craziness that is naturally found in day-to-day life.

I have been teaching about creativity, focus, and time management for over a decade. Our online workshops and courses have helped thousands of people regain focus, improve how they spend their time, and start making traction with their goals.

The material in The Focus Course changed my life. It has changed the lives of so many others who have already taken it. And it can change your life, too.
