Why most founders get this number wrong ⬇️

💡 Watch this first (3 min): Naval Ravikant explains why most founders undervalue their time by 10x. His framework will help you set an aspirational hourly rate for the calculator below; not what you make today, but what you're building toward.

The "I'll Do It Myself" Calculator

Every hour you spend on tasks someone else could handle is an hour stolen from growing your business. Let's put a number on what that's actually costing you.

💡 Why this matters: Every hour you spend on $20 tasks while telling yourself you're "being scrappy" is an hour your competition spends on $2,000 decisions. The market doesn't reward hard work. It rewards leverage.

Include: emails, scheduling, research, admin, bookkeeping, outreach, LinkedIn, hiring freelancers, CRM setup, cold email outreach, etc.

The Hidden Cost of Doing Everything Yourself

You've Seen The Numbers. Now What?

Three types of founders see this calculator:

  1. The Skeptics - "I'll just work harder." (They burn out in 6 months)
  2. The Researchers - "Let me think about it." (They're still thinking)
  3. The Builders - "Let's fix this now." (They're growing)

If you're losing $8,000+ monthly to "doing it yourself," let's talk.

15-minute call. Two questions:
What's eating your time? Can you actually delegate?

If yes, we'll match you with an operator who thinks like an owner.
If no, I'll tell you straight and save us both time.

We only work with 10 new founders per month.

"I escaped corporate to build something, then recreated the same trap."
