The Time Gambit

Book Cover Placeholder

Sound Familiar?

These are the symptoms of a leadership approach that is unsustainable. The good news? There is a better way.

Calendar Chaos

Your calendar owns you, not the other way around. Every day is a blur of back-to-back meetings that leave no time for strategic thinking.

Reactive Mode

You spend more time putting out fires than building the future. The urgent always trumps the important.

Empty Tank

Success has become exhausting instead of energizing. You achieved the goal but lost yourself along the way.

Decision Fatigue

Every small choice feels like a major burden. By noon, you are already running on empty willpower.

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."

There's Another Way

Reactive, exhausted, calendar-driven

Where most leaders find themselves

  • Trapped in meetings that could have been emails
  • Putting out fires daily, never getting ahead
  • Success feels like a burden you carry alone

Intentional, energized, purpose-led

Where you could be

  • Strategic time blocks that protect what matters
  • Proactive leadership that builds momentum
  • Success feels sustainable and fulfilling

Your Path Forward

A proven three-step framework to transform your relationship with time

1

MAP

Identify your time traps

Discover where your time actually goes. Uncover the hidden patterns and leaks that keep you stuck in reactive mode.

2

MAKE

Implement time-tested strategies

Build new systems and boundaries that protect your most valuable resource. Create structures that work for you, not against you.

3

LEAD

Live and lead with purpose

Step into sustainable transformation. Lead your team, your business, and your life with intention and energy.

This is the framework behind The Time Gambit

What Leaders Are Saying

Real transformations from leaders who made the shift

"The Time Gambit completely transformed how I approach my day. I went from feeling overwhelmed by a packed calendar to being in control of my time and energy. The framework isn't just theory-it's immediately actionable."

Sarah Chen

CEO, Meridian Ventures

"As a founder, I thought being busy meant being productive. Brent's framework showed me how wrong I was. I've reclaimed 10+ hours a week and I'm finally building the company I envisioned, not just running it."

M

Marcus Johnson

Founder, Elevate Tech

"Every leader who feels trapped by their own success needs to read this book. The 22-day format made it easy to implement changes gradually. By day 15, my team noticed the difference in my leadership."
