214: Automations in an online business

It absolutely blows my mind how much we can achieve now with a
little effort in business. What used to take 5 people, now takes
1. What used to take me days, now takes hours. This is all due to
the beautiful advances in technology and automation.


 


I run a nearly $2m/year business and I have myself who works
around 30-40 hours a week, my full time EA, a part time social
media manager and a contracted podcast manager. It’s astounding
that we can run the company we do and the level of customer
service and communication that we have, with the amount of team.


 


This is because my EA and I, we do all of the personal touch. We
utilize as many systems and automation as possible, but never let
it get in the way of the human element. The goal is to automate
anything and everything that can be, to leave us human to do the
human work. We don’t want to spend our time on doing something
that AI and software can perform. We want to use our time on the
tasks that only we can do.
