I’m aware that automation is seen as robotic and impersonal.
But folks are missing a piece of the puzzle.
Automation is not meant to replace you, the unique human voice, in your business. And it’s not all about AI.
I love using automation on the back-end of my clients' businesses. The places where they’ve been doing all the things manually (things that their clients usually don’t even know are happening).
I’m talking marketing, onboarding, follow up from live events, offboarding, etc.
The things that need to happen but can eat up your time if you try to do it all yourself.
Shifting this will save you so much time allow you to make an even bigger impact, serve more clients (which means more revenue, too) and get back to doing the things in your business that you LOVE.
Bonus points if you have someone to help you set up and maintain those automated processes 😉.

When you’re ready to start documenting processes and/or outsourcing tasks in your business, it can feel a little daunting.
My favorite way to start is by recording yourself doing recurring tasks in your business.
Use a screen record tool like Loom. It will show your screen and record your voice so you can talk through the steps as you do them.
Then, you can use your video to:
✅Remind yourself how to do it next time (super helpful for those tasks you only do once in a while and then forget how).
✅Use it as a starting point for creating a streamlined SOP
✅Give it to a team member as a tutorial. This is my favorite use!
This last way is my favorite! When you’re ready to delegate, your recording will help your new team member hit the ground running and jump into tasks with very little support from you.
However you use it, documenting your processes saves time, energy and frustration. You’re not re-learning or re-inventing the wheel. You have the steps safely stored until you need them again.

When I see a new enrollment come through my inbox for any of my clients, I do a literal happy dance at my desk 💃🏻
Their launches feel like my launches, and their wins feel like my wins.
I love helping coaches:
✅Spread their unique message and approach far and wide through email scheduling, social media scheduling, content repurposing and more
✅Create simple, streamlined funnels for the freebies, virtual events and paid programs
✅Automate client onboarding in a way that still feels welcoming and personal
And I LOVE celebrating with them as they bring new clients into their world (because I know they’re about to change some lives!).
If you want a team member who loves your business the way you do, then DM me so I can share the ways I can help you!
You know that feeling when you sit down at your computer, and you have no idea where to start 😕?
I don’t get that feeling anymore (even on a Monday), and you don’t have to either.
I’m not a morning person, and I’m not big on morning routines. But knowing what I need to do first gets me into action.
So when the alarm goes off way too early to get the kids up for school, I tell myself that all I have to do is go to the bathroom and wash my face.
And when I sit down at my desk to start work, I know that all I have to do first is put on my glasses, open my time tracker and my Trello board (which then tells me what I’m supposed to do).
It’s like creating a little trigger that tells your brain it’s time to get down to business.
If you’re just starting out, here are a few things you can try. See what works for you and then add to it if you want.
➡️ Open up your own time tracker or to-do list
➡️ Pull out your journal and write about your goals and plans for 5-10 minutes
➡️ Look at your calendar and visualize how you want your day to go
Tip: Avoid making your email inbox the very first thing you see.
This simple shift allowed me to feel calm and in control at the start of each work day, and my weekly planning process saves me a ton of time because I’m clear on my priorities and deadlines from the start (more on this another day).
Will you be adding this to your routine/workflow?

When’s the best time to hire a virtual assistant?
BEFORE you're overwhelmed and on the brink of burnout.
You don't have to be desperate to ask for help (and yes, I need to be reminded of this myself sometimes, too 🙋♀️).
The right team member and processes can help you AVOID overwhelm and burnout, so you don’t have to recover from it.
Getting quality, behind-the-scenes support is a vital piece of building your business.
Do you agree?

Because who wants to keep plugging away all by her lonesome?
Everything you’ve done so far to build your business is amazing, and you also don’t have to continue doing it all.
If you’re ready to scale (or already have a scalable offer out there), it’s time to stop going it alone.
Here's why:
😍 You’re serving more and more people…so you need more support for yourself.
😍 Less time spent on admin, onboarding, content repurposing and all the rest = more time spent talking with your people!
😍 As a coach, I’m guessing you believe in support and connection. The right team member brings those things to the back-end of your business.
You don't have to navigate the next stage of your business alone if you don't want to.
The best thing about my business is building relationships with women just like you and helping you feel supported in this sometimes-lonely online world.

Listen, I’m the queen of getting organized and keeping your business on track.
So let me give you a peek behind the scenes and share what I’ve found over 4 years of working with clients on this very thing.
🔎 Create a single space where your business lives (I love Trello for this) - a dashboard where you can keep your most important tasks and files, projects, launches and communication.
It’s like having a copy of your brain outside your body (which means your brain doesn’t have to hold it anymore). Plus, you’ll save a ton of time and stress when you know where everything is and can access it quickly.
🔎 Due dates are your friend! When you’re working on a big project or launch, break it down into smaller pieces and assign yourself deadlines along the way so you don’t fall behind.
🔎 We all have limits. Bringing on extra support will allow your business to grow beyond what you can do on your own. You’ll save time by delegating - especially when you offload tasks you struggle with and open up mental space to be more creative and connected to your people (which is what keeps those clients coming!).
If you’re done being a one-women show and want support in organizing your processes, making sure the back-end of your business runs smoothly (no matter what else is going on) and sharing your message with even more people, I can help!
Send me a DM, and let’s talk about the ways I can support your growing business.

It’s so much more common than you think. Successful coaches hitting a point of overwhelm, knowing they need help, but not really knowing where to start or what to ask for.
Here are a few questions to give you an idea of where you can start to delegate.
➡️ What do you dread doing in your business?
If there are certain tasks you avoid over and over again…this is a good place to think about outsourcing.
➡️ Where are you spending your time?
As a coach and the CEO of your business, the majority of your time should be spent interacting with your clients, your audience and doing other revenue-producing activities. If you’re spending a bunch of time on the back-end of your business, it’s time to delegate.
(If you don’t know where your time is going, I recommend using a free tracking tool like Toggl to audit your time for a week or two. You might be surprised what you find!)
➡️ What tasks in your business do not actually need to be done by YOU?
Automation and delegation are your friends when it comes to protecting your time and energy so you can focus on serving your clients and scaling your business.
What’s one thing you would love to take off your plate?

To summarize my rules...⬇️
⭐ Make a realistic plan (don’t overschedule or overcommit)
⭐ Create simple processes for thing things you do regularly in your business (stop reinventing the wheel everytime)
⭐ Do ONE thing at a time (no more multitasking)
⭐ Focus on the tasks that must be done by YOU and delegate the rest (especially the stuff you hate doing)
⭐ Have a little fun!
This year will be different not just because the last digit changed, but because we decide to make the necessary changes.
➡️ Comment what are YOUR rules?
I want to be inspired and add to my list!
Listen, I'm a lover of Trello & I don't care who knows it. Sometimes, I just want to shout it from the rooftops!
Here’s why...
😍 It helps me get my thoughts out of my head and into a safe place (so I can stop overthinking)
😍 Sharing boards with clients is so simple, and it helps us stay on the same page and communicate easily
😍 I never miss a deadline!
😍 The drag and drop feature lets me move tasks and notes around (because we all know plans change…like all the time)
