BURNOUT-PROOF YOUR BUSINESS PODCAST | WORKFLOW & PRODUCTIVITY SPECIALIST | SYSTEMS | AUTOMATIONS | SYSTEMATIZE YOUR CREATIVE BUSINESS | AUTOMATE YOUR CREATIVE BUSINESS

Your business is ready for some systems - but where do you start? Here are the 4 systems that I recommend getting started with + my 4 favorite apps to help you. These are easy to jump into and can take a huge weight off your shoulders right from the beginning.

In fact, these are the very systems that I set up first in my own business and that helped me be able to serve more clients than I really was ready for and still seem professional and like I had everything together. Even if the reality was that my desk looked like a tornado had just blown through - lol!

So if you are ready to stop doing everything manually and start getting a few things off your plate - this episode is here to help you get started.

Today's Permission Slip:

Each episode I give you a permission slip - a reminder to give yourself permission to run your business and live your dream life on your own terms.

Today is simple - give yourself permission to do some research to find the right tools for you and your business. Allow yourself time to try out different ones and to pick out apps because they will work for you - not just because someone else is using them or says you should use them.

I give myself permission to go find the right tools for me and my business.
