The Founder’s Blind Spot

The Founder’s Blind Spot

You’d raise millions for your startup…
But invest zero in yourself?

Everyone’s obsessed with building companies.
No one’s building themselves.

You’ll kill yourself for a pitch deck.
Lose sleep over CAC.
Chase investors like your life depends on it.
But ask yourself, when was the last time you worked on you?

You’ll obsess over churn rate
but haven’t had 8 hours of sleep in weeks.
You’ll do 1:1s with your team
but haven’t checked in with your own mind in months.

Startups get:
✅ Funding
✅ Strategy
✅ Advisors
✅ Roadmaps
✅ Retrospectives

You get:
❌ Burnout
❌ Anxiety
❌ Disconnection
❌ Zero clarity
❌ No upgrade plan

You treat your startup like it’s sacred. You treat yourself like a tool to run it.

Founders will hire coaches for their team,
but won’t spend 10 minutes dealing with their own chaos.

They’ll build org charts and culture decks
while ignoring their own patterns, trauma, and habits.

That’s irresponsible.

You are the first product.

The first system.
The first bottleneck.
If you break, everything breaks.

Still think working on yourself is optional?

Flip it:
Would you invest in a founder who ignores their own operating system?

You can raise capital.
You can scale teams.
But if you can’t scale yourself
You’re the biggest walking liability.

That’s precisely why Shivani and I developed IntuiWell’s Nutrition & Diet + Personal Growth Program.

Not some fluffy self-help retreat. This is for serious operators who want to scale themselves as aggressively as they scale their startups.

Full stop.
