Day By Day - Business Management

You know you could streamline and delegate a lot of the things on your plate.

✔You have holes in your workflow you know you could patch
✔You’re manually tracking things you know you could automate
✔You’re constantly reinventing the wheel when many of your processes are repetitive

You’re happy with your business growth, but you know you could scale up faster and more efficiently if only you’d optimize your processes.

Over 12 years as a manager and an in-house product owner at a SaaS startup have given me robust knowledge of the most cutting-edge software on the market.

I create maximally efficient workflow systems using the best tools for your needs.

Systems that scale businesses to 6 & 7 fig | On the cusp of big time growth? You have a good problem | Scale as a coach, consultant or creative with process, strategy, software, & automation | Save 20+ hours a week

Everything you wanted for your business is happening, word on the street favors your brand — and you have your eye on the next big step.

You're ready to DO it:
📈 scale up - Grow a team around your process & replicate revenue 3X+
💰 sell products - Open new streams of revenue with courses or digital products
🦉 build authority - Get your expertise out there — and charge premium prices

There's just one little problem
It’s hard to move forward and scale your THING — when it’s all inside your head.
👉 You can hire a team, but you'll spend all your time telling them what to do.
👉 You can create a product or course but lack the know-how.
👉 You can build authority with online content, but that would be a full-time job.

You know that there are tech solutions that can get you where you need to go. 

But you've hit your growth ceiling.

😏You've tried to figure it out on your own.
🤨You've tinkered with tools and researched software. (And wasted hours you didn't have.)
😯You’ve set up your business using way too many different tools ... and it’s a mess.
😣You’re sinking into calendar quicksand. You can’t even see what you’re up to now — never mind scheduling all the new things coming down your pipeline.
🫤Instead of creating and monetizing, you’re busy burning the midnight oil and experimenting with product platforms.

Time to get your process out of your head and into scalable, automated workflows and products

Which brings you to... me

Long-Time Automator - 15 + years and going strong
12 years as a manager and an in-house product owner at a SaaS startup, and 3 years as a process and automation consultant.

Compulsive Tool-Tester - 978+ tools tested (and counting!)
I wouldn't be able to stop researching tech if I tried. It's a mild obsession.

Serial Speaker & Trainer - When I'm not tinkering with tools, I'm talking about them.

Generous Whizdom Dispenser - 1,426+ articles, posts & videos.

Playful Podcaster - I'm the co-host of Off Tangent, a playful podcast with my colleague Zineb Layachi. We talk about business, process, and growing pains. 

Masterful Course Creator - I've created courses in-house as an instructional designer, helped entrepreneurs launch their own courses, and developed my own Sales Pipeline Automation Accelerator.

What it looks like to work with me

Strategize - We get everything out of your head and plan ways to automate it.
Set up - I set up the software and automation for you and send detailed how-to-use videos. 
Streamline - You try out all your shiny new tech and we tweak things where needed.

Irit Levi

A client spent $10,000 on an "all-in-one" platform.



Two weeks after we started working together, we scrapped it entirely.

She was working harder WITH the tool than without it.

The problem? She chose based on features, not fit.

Before evaluating any business tool, answer these 3 questions:

1\. Purpose: What specific outcome do you want?
2\. Process: What are your exact current steps?  
3\. People: Who will actually use this daily?

Tools should serve your business, not the other way around.

Building systems that scale with your ambition | On the cusp of big time growth? You have a good problem | Scale as a coach, consultant or creative with process, strategy, software, & automation | Save 20+ hours a week

Stop asking for everything upfront. Build customer profiles over time.


Traditional approach:
One massive form asking for everything: company details, contact info, project requirements, budget, timeline, technical specifications, decision-making process, etc.

Result: 15% completion rate. Most people see 20 questions and abandon immediately.

Progressive profiling approach:

First interaction (minimal friction):
→ Name, email, company
→ General interest area
→ Rough timeline

Second interaction (after email engagement):
→ More specific project details
→ Budget range
→ Technical requirements

Third interaction (after phone call or demo):
→ Decision-making process
→ Implementation timeline
→ Detailed specifications

Same information collected eventually.
Much higher completion rates at each stage.
Better customer experience because requests feel reasonable.

Progressive profiling recognizes that relationship building happens over time.

You don't need to know everything about a prospect before the first conversation.

You need to know enough to have a valuable first conversation.

Then learn more as the relationship develops.

Smart forms support relationship progression instead of demanding instant information downloads.

"Everyone asks me what to do today."


Heard this from a client whose system tracked everything perfectly. 
Status updates. 
Progress reports. 
Assignment details.

But the system only recorded history. It didn't guide action.

The problem: Status DOES NOT EQUAL  Stage

Status tells you what happened. 
Stage tells you what happens next.

When workflows only capture status, you become the interpreter. 
Every update needs your translation into next steps.

This creates daily bottlenecks and prevents teams from becoming self-directing.

Action-oriented workflows embed decision logic:
👉 When project enters review: auto-send approval request
👉 If approved: move to production queue
👉 If revision needed: schedule design meeting within 24 hours

Stop being the daily translator. Design systems that guide action.

The scaling ceiling isn't about capacity. It's about complexity.


Revenue capacity: More clients requiring more man**l work
Quality consistency: Man**l processes introducing variability  
Stress levels: Team overwhelmed managing chaos instead of delivering value

When systems handle routine tasks, humans focus on value creation.

Reorganizing by function sounds simple. Here's why it's not.


The concept is straightforward: Stop organizing around people, start organizing around business functions.

The execution is where most businesses fail.

Because Sarah isn't just going to cheerfully hand over her marketing responsibilities. She's built her identity around being "the marketing person."

And Mike won't easily give up customer service tasks. That's how he stays connected to customer feedback.

Plus, what happens to the work during the transition? Someone still needs to handle everything while you reorganize.

Successful functional reorganization requires:

→ Change management that respects people's concerns
→ Transition planning that maintains business continuity
→ Clear communication about why the change benefits everyone
→ Gradual implementation instead of overnight revolution
→ New success metrics aligned with functional ownership

It's not a weekend project. It's a strategic initiative.

But businesses that do it right see results within 30-60 days.

And the competitive advantage compounds over years.

The question isn't whether functional organization works.

The question is whether you have the patience and discipline to implement it properly.

Most businesses give up after the first week of discomfort.

The smart ones push through and reap the rewards.
