Listen up as I share loads of ideas and app recommendations for you to exp


Streamlining processes and automating repetitive tasks not only saves time, but:

  • Releases time for you to spend on income generating tasks
  • Reduces stress and overwhelm for a better work/life balance
  • Boosts the experience clients have when working with you


If you'd like some help with mapping your processes or exploring automation, you're welcome to book a free 30 minute call with me.


In this episode, I talk about:

  2. Ways to approach streamlining and automating if you don't know where to start
  3. How to ensure you don't waste money on apps that aren't right for you
  4. How I attracted more enquiries by streamlining and automating
  5. Investing in an LMS if you want to create passive income streams or launch courses

Bonus Three things I didn't do well the first time around, so you can be proactive instead of reactive.
