What's Inside?
Focus Course features and clients

You're already a productivity person....

So why don't you feel more productive?

Your bookshelf could double as Amazon’s entire productivity and time management section.

Your phone is packed with the best apps you can find.

Your artisanal journal is always within arm’s reach.

So why is staying focused and productive still such a slog?

Instead of making consistent progress in your most important areas of life...

Hamster, meet wheel. Right?

But the worst part is when it all starts bleeding into your personal life.

When you start sacrificing relationships, rest, and even your health…just so you can hopefully maintain the status quo.

It feels like every area of your life needs more attention — but how are you going to find time to do it all?

You don't need more time — you need more focus.

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).

That’s why we built The Focus Club...

Your Focus Guide

👋 Hello. My name is Shawn Blanc. My team and I are honored to be your hosts and support you inside Focus Club!

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

For the past 20 years, I have been learning and teaching about creativity, diligence, and focus. 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.

My Journey From Overwhelmed to Focused

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 of the craziness and start making progress on meaningful work.

Eventually I quit that job to begin working for myself. But even then, I still 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 first son was born, I realized that 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.



Get My Personal Productivity Systems (and so much more)

I have spent years figuring out solutions related to focus.

The systems, tools, and training you will have access to inside your Club membership are the same ones I have developed, taught, and used in order to:

✓ Eliminate 90% of the busywork, urgency, and procrastination from my week.

✓ Help others get more breathing room in their schedule (even when it felt impossible to them).

✓ Allow everyone in my company to take off two months (paid) every year.

✓ Consistently plan out my year, my month, my week, and my day to do the things that I want to do.

✓ Organize my tasks and my time with minimum effort.

These are time-tested, proven ideas I use to keep all the areas of my life in harmony and thriving, despite the craziness that is naturally found in day-to-day life.

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

I can’t recommend Shawn enough. He has proven strategies that give clear direction and actually work.

Amy SullivanAmy Sullivan, Founder of Sullivan Studio

Shawn’s writing on focus is well thought through and well crafted.

Cal NewportCal Newport, Author of Deep Work

Imagine If...

How would your day be different if you were more focused and in control?

✓ Eliminate more than half of the busywork, urgency, and procrastination that plagues your week.

✓ Get some breathing room in your schedule (even if it felt impossible).

✓ Allow yourself the chance to take time off and come back refreshed for a change.

✓ Have an easier, better way to plan your days in order to do the things that you want to do. (even if you hate productivity and aren’t naturally organized)

✓ Organize your tasks and your time with minimum effort.

I have read my share of productivity books, blogs, and hacks, but nothing I have read comes close to your work in terms of helpfulness, depth, and significance.

Questions & Answers

What happens when I join?

Right off the bat, your new membership will give you instant access to every course we offer on here on The Sweet Setup as well as The Focus Course.

You’ll get an invitation to join our private community, where you are welcome to join and say hello if you like. The chat group is home to all sorts of dialog around things such as productivity, family life, book recs and other reading, nerdy pen suggestions, BBQ recipes, and more.

You will also get to jump right in and join our next office hours / workshop with the community. (Workshops are once a month. And they are recorded as well so you can submit questions and talking points in advance, and catch the replay for the times you can't make it live.)

Am I able to cancel anytime?

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.

How is this different from purchasing any individual course?

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 $99 / month.

Plus, you also get accountability and support from the private Slack community and live office hours from the Focus Team every other week.

Is the membership right for me?

If ANY of these are true, than The Club Membership is perfect for you:

✓ You want to join us for any future community challenges or masterclasses that we do.

✓ You want access to any of the courses that we’ve made on the Focus Course site and/or The Sweet Setup.

✓ You want to engage with a community of high performers that are making progress toward their goals and know a thing or two about productivity and focus.

✓ You want to jump in to our weekly Focus Hour working group.

✓ You want twice-a-month access to the Focus Team to have your questions answered as you work through the courses you have access to.

✓ You want to join us in Kansas City for our in-person conference and workshops in the Spring.

Each one of the big pillars of Club (course library, office hours, in-person conference) is alone worth your membership to the Club. But if you participate in anything else within Club then you are getting even more value from your membership!

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 WorrenKjell 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.
