The Self-Employed Struggle

Let’s be honest, the self-employed life is a rollercoaster. One minute you’re celebrating a new client; the next, you’re drowning in admin that keeps you working until midnight. I’ve been there. But one thing has become crystal clear: automation isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a non-negotiable lifeline for solopreneurs.

The Struggle

Relentless cycle of manual tasks, feeling overwhelmed and stretched thin.

The Lifeline

Architecting automations for the core of my business. An absolute game-changer.

Practicing What I Preach: Inside My Business

Client Onboarding

Automated proposals, contracts, and workflows for a smooth professional experience.

Financial Admin

Automated invoicing ensures timely payments and reduces manual tracking headaches.

Project Management

Automated reminders and recurring tasks keep me organised with multiple clients and kids!

Custom Solutions

Google Apps Script links my apps, acting as a custom-built digital assistant.

My Favourite Automation: The Daily Briefing

I have a script scanning my personal emails for dates and times, which then automatically updates my calendar. Then, another script prepares an email that’s waiting for me when I wake up. It contains everything I need to do that day, the weather forecast, and a little motivational message. I never miss a thing!
