INSIGHT

Teeter-Totter Of Sales And Delivery

  • The core problem is owners switching between sales and delivery, which kills momentum in both.
  • Nathan calls this the teeter-totter: founders must pick a side and constrain their availability to scale.
ADVICE

Productize Founder Interactions

  • Productize how founders interact with the team by setting office hours and constraints.
  • Standardize formats for requests so founders' limited time scales without quality loss.
ADVICE

Protect Deep Work With Boundaries

  • Limit ad-hoc interruptions: route urgent items to calls and non-urgent to project tools like Asana.
  • Block client kickoffs and quarterly debriefs into focused days to protect founder deep work.
