Resource: Building Your Role As The Founder (Founders Operating Manual)

Written by The 10th House Team | Jan 12, 2026 3:17:17 PM

Most founders work 60+ hours a week but growth still feels slow. They're stuck doing everything themselves, constantly firefighting, and unsure if they're even busy with the right things.

This guide walks you through building your role as a CEO. You'll learn where successful founders actually spend their time, what tasks drive growth versus drain energy, and how to structure your role for scale, not just survival. Plus, you'll discover critical mindset shifts required as your company grows and exactly what to delegate versus what to never give up.

You'll get ready-to-use frameworks including the 6 Buckets Time Allocation Template, Delegate vs. Keep Decision Framework, Vision Clarity Worksheet, and Goal-Setting Framework. By the end, you'll have clarity on what deserves your attention, permission to delegate without guilt, and a scalable business that doesn't depend on you doing everything.
