the 30-Day Workflow Pivot: Or, How to Make Zapier Do Everything Except Tea

You went independent to take control of your time. At some point since then, you appear to have traded one set of constraints for a different, personally customized set that involves more spreadsheets, a suspicious number of copy-paste tasks, and a recurring Tuesday morning spent doing things you are fairly certain a computer could handle while you sleep. The promise of running your own practice or service business is freedom. The reality, for most solopreneurs, is a precisely calibrated manual operation that requires your continuous, exhausting intervention in every step of every process. The gap between those two things is automation, and it is considerably less intimidating than it sounds. This book is a thirty-day programme for identifying exactly which parts of your operation are eating your time, and systematically automating them using no-code tools that are already available, already affordable, and already used by the people who seem to have more hours in their week than you do. No coding required. No expensive software. No need to understand what a webhook is before you deploy one, although by the end of the thirty days you will understand what a webhook is and will have opinions about it. You will build automated workflows for client intake, scheduling, invoicing, follow-up sequences, and whatever specific manual task is currently living inside your head and cannot afford to stay there. The result is not a perfect system. It is a system that runs when you are not watching it, which is the only kind worth having. For freelancers, consultants, coaches, and solopreneurs in any field who are trading too much time for too little return and would like to change that without hiring anyone. Part of The 30-Day Micro-Pivot Playbooks series. Each book stands alone.
