How a Sticky Note Helped Me Triple My Business

And why it’s more than just office stationery

If you’ve received one of our “My Priorities” sticky notes, you might think it’s just a small giveaway.
But this little square is doing a lot more than sticking to your monitor—it’s a symbol of how we help founders escape the noise and focus on what truly matters.

The Problem Wasn’t Time. It Was Focus.

Like most entrepreneurs, I was always busy. But the to-do list didn’t always translate to momentum.
I was great at checking boxes—especially the ones that felt good or came easily.

But the work that really moved the needle?
The uncomfortable, strategic, high-impact stuff?
That was often pushed to “tomorrow.”

Sound familiar?

The Turning Point: One Sunday Night

Frustrated with the gap between effort and results, I tried something new.
I wrote down three priorities for the week—just three. I stuck that note to my monitor.

It wasn’t fancy. But it worked.

Each week, I aligned those three tasks with our quarterly goals.
I stopped reacting to what felt urgent and started committing to what mattered most.

The Result? Our Business Almost Tripled.

This tiny act of intention shifted everything.
Suddenly, the “thick of thin things” (thanks, Stephen Covey) stopped hijacking my time.

Instead of chasing dopamine from easy tasks, I started building real momentum—day after day, week after week.

Eventually, I added a second note: three priorities for the next day.
It became a ritual. A rhythm. And the growth didn’t just continue—it accelerated.

Simple. Focused. Intentional.

That’s when I knew this wasn’t just a personal trick.
It was a practical representation of everything we teach.

Now, these “My Priorities” sticky notes are in the hands of founders everywhere.
And they’ve become more than a tool—they’re a metaphor for leading from the core.
