Focus is two things: Clarity & Action
1: Clarity: Knowing what truly matters in your life and career.
2: Action: Directing your attention on those things that matter most.
Focus is a superpower in our current era of endless distractions and opportunities.
Alas, you can’t magically acquire focus overnight like a superhero who gets bitten by a bug and wakes up a new man.
Focus is a real-life muscle. You have to exercise it. You have to train it. And you get to use it every single day.
And it helps to have new ways to use it and different approaches so you don’t get tired of the same old routines (because honestly, we've all been there).
Your Focus Guide
👋 Hello. My name is Shawn and I am honored to be your host and guide through the Library Card!
I’m a productivity coach to entrepreneurs and leaders. I live in Kansas City with my wife and our three boys.
For over 20 years, I have been learning and teaching about focus and margin. 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 tens of thousands of people since 2015.
♥️ Married for 20 years, and we have 3 boys. Send pizza! 🍕
I used to work 80 hours per week. And even with all those hours, I still felt behind with my never-ending issues at work! I kept thinking I would eventually get ahead but of course I never did. There was always more...
Eventually I quit that job to begin working for myself. Yet I still kept 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. 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 related to focus.
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 you will learn inside the courses in Library Card are the same methods, ideas, and frameworks that have allowed me to grow a thriving business, do meaningful work I’m proud of, and give time to myself and my family.
"I can’t recommend Shawn enough. He has proven strategies that give clear direction and actually work."

Right off the bat, your new membership will give you instant access to every course we offer. You’ll get an invitation to join our membership community, Circle. This is where the courses, workshops, and templates live.
The courses you have access to as a Library Card member are removed from your account at the end of your billing cycle. (Just like Netflix.) Any courses which you may have previously purchased à la carte for lifetime access will, of course, remain active for you.
All our courses are standalone resources. You can get lifetime to them for the individual price of that course.
The Club membership gives you access to every single course we have — all for just $29 / month.
Yes! We have noticed that to see progress when it comes to living a focused life we have found that it takes at least 90 days of putting in the work to see results. So we suggest you give it a bit of time for results to begin showing.
Focus Club is our $99 / month membership that includes our entire training library, monthly workshops and coaching calls, free access to all live events and cohorts, live chat, and weekly posts designed to help you get focused and make progress.
Library Card is $29 / month and only includes access to the training library. Live workshops and calls are not included.
"This course has changed my life. I have an independent job, big family, friends and a brain who always wants to do new things. It was a mess of unfinished projects. Now I have a prescription of rest of my life with my 6 life goals."
Kjell Anker Worren
Focus Course Member
"Shawn, and his Focus Course, helped me get back to center. Which can be quite a challenge to find in the massive jungle that is the mess of our modern lives. It helped me define what was important and why — and how to execute on those things."
