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.

✨You know there's something more to this life and would like to explore your spirituality. 

💫You are intrigued by all things magic and mystical. 
You wonder about energies, crystals, astrology, manifestation, or tarot. 

But you don't know where to start or restart your journey.

Perhaps you were put off by some of the ego-driven spiritual folk out there. 
Or don't like the idea of the dogma and seriousness that goes hand in hand with many spiritual beliefs and practices. 

I'm Pippa an intuitive spiritual coach with a big smile and an even bigger heart and I want to help you find more joy and fulfilment in all areas of your life. 

I have a variety of magical tools in my toolkit:

Decades of experience in spiritual learning and practice.
Inner journeys and visualisations.
Oracle cards (like tarot) and dowsing crystals. 
Rituals and spells based on ancient wisdom.
Empathy and sensitivity.
Fun and laughter.


My calling, my souls purpose is to provide those little nudges that will open you up to your higher potential. 
There might be blockages to clear and/or issues with your self-belief and confidence. 
There might be doubts in your mind and gaps in your knowledge because this knowledge that is our birthright has been suppressed, demonised and withheld. 
   
But this world needs YOU, now more than ever:

💫To remember YOU'RE magic. 
💫To remember YOUR magic. 

What people have said about my coaching:

'You're like a magical little sprite that pops up to be helpful and share some wisdom...Thank you for being such a guiding light and a positive force in my life. You truly are THE MAGIC COACH'
Liz

'The memories have come flooding back...[f]or someone whose chronic stress levels gave her severe memory problems for years, this is something quite special. I think its down to the magical spiritual coaching I'm having with Pippa Haywood she is helping me in ways I can't quite put my finger on. I think she is helping me reconnect to my inner self'
Fay

'She immediately put me at ease, and I felt comfortable talking to her about some elements of my past that I don't usually talk about. She was an attentive listener, and intuitively knew which of her guided visualisations would work for me. It worked fantastically! I would recommend Pippa to anyone needing help to remove blocks, or any sort of guidance' 
Laura 

'That was perfect advice, exactly what I needed...I've practiced a few times now and it helps so much, it worked instantly and I feel it keep working too'

I was bricking it...


...years ago when I pivoted from being a content writer following my soul's calling and becoming a Spiritual Coach, THE Magic coach. 

I thought I would be ridiculed on this platform, where at the time, there was virtually no one else talking about alternative spirituality, about the law of attraction, about guides and visualisation and I;m beyond glad that's no longer the case. 

I thought I'd get trolled or booted off the platform and I was sure (because there was so much of it about back then) that I'd be told 'this isn't Facebook' every time I posted. 

But that wasn't my experience at all. 
I've been met with kindness, interest, and support. 
I've met ALL my clients via this platform. 
I've met amazing friends, mentors and teachers. 

And now I've got 8000 followers!
I'm so grateful to every single one of you. 
I'm so grateful for this platform, yes I know it has a bias problem and other issues too. 
But it's given me my dream life and I'm SO grateful for that. 

So, to anyone out there who is worried that their niche isn't suited to Linkydinks. 
To anyone who is too worried to post. 
To anyone who sees their follower count go up slowly because their niche is...ummm...niche. 

Keep going. 
Keep posting. 
Keep connecting. 
Keep commenting. 

And thank you all so very, very much!

And here's to 10k followers next! 😆

Feeling a bit scattered or disconnnected?


Maybe your feeling more tired at the moment, but combined with an inability to sleep soundly. 

Perhaps you are feeling easily distracted and starting a lot of tasks but finishing few. 

You might need a bit of grounding. 

At the days get colder and the nights draw in, we tend to spend less time barefoot, spend less time out in nature; feeling the grass, the trees, the earth, the ocean or even the wind in our faces. 

Here's a few tips to help to get grounded over the winter months. 

1) You can still go barefoot - just take a tiny towel to dry your feet before you  pop your cosy socks and boots back on. If it's frosty you can even think of it as a mini ice bath, it will boost your circulation as well as provide the grounding your mind and body is calling for. 

2) Lean your back against a big old tree trunk - make sure the back of your head makes contact with the bark for a more grounding experience. Feel into that solid, slow and safe energy of the tree. 

3) Let the rain or snow fall on your face. Feel that sacred connection to the natural world, allow it to refresh you mind, body and soul. 

3) Focus on your Earth Star chakra this is a the energetic grounding chakra - your super root chakra. Providing grounding for your whole body based on an 8 or 12 chakra system. It is around 6-10 inches below the soles of your  feet. You might visualise it as a deep brown (I see it like cola) or a shiny blackish grey or even a deep plum or maroon. Visualise it as a ball of light energy and practice expanding and contracting it with your breath. 

4) Visualise tree roots coming out of the soles of your feet, hear the sound as they crunch through the floor seeking out the rich earth below. See them grow from the thin, seeking tendrils into the thick juicy tubers as they spread outwards and deeper down into the earth. Feel the way they anchor you, how they make you remember that you are of the earth, not separate but a part of the 'one' big ecosystem. The beautiful roots in this picture are at the wonderful Avebury Stone Circle in South West England one of my favourite magical sites.

Showing my daughter what gaming was like back in the day 🤣

And showing my age too 🤣

She’s actually really enjoying it and it’s fun for me taking a wander down memory lane. 

Anyone else old enough to remember this game? 

It’s California Games I had it on my old Sega Master System II and loved it along with Alex Kidd in Miracle World can’t remember any other games we had although I think there was a football (soccer) one. 

That was the 2nd console I had, the first was a Commodore 64 but I remember we borrowed my brothers mates Atari for a while too. 

What was your first games console?

I've worked with over 100 people since I began my coaching business and almost every one of them shared a belief about sales and selling. 

Selling is icky. 
Sales = Being pushy. 

But you know what...
What you do is important. 
Forget for a moment what that pesky subconscious/ego/monkey mind tells you.  

Your highest self knows that what you do works, that its important, that you are good, dare I say, brilliant at what you do. 

You wouldn't be doing it otherwise. 
You are an expert. 

So it stands to reason that you KNOW that your clients benefit from what you do. 
You know the difference you make in their lives. 

AND you know what...

Selling is how you reach them. 
Selling is how you give them that benefit. 
You owe them that. 
Time to stop thinking about yourself, time to stop being concerned with what your ego/monkey mind/subconscious is telling you - and think about how your clients deserve the help you can give them. 

Get yourself into the frame of mind where you understand that it’s not about you. 
It’s not about how you come across, it doesn’t matter if your ego is yelling at you that you are being pushy or that selling is icky, because it’s not about you - its about the people who will benefit from what you do. 

Selling is the wonderful, beautiful means for you to let them know about what you do, about how it can help them, about how it can change their lives, like those people you have helped before. 

Now I want to ask you a question. 

Have you ever gushed to a friend or even to a complete stranger about a book, a song, a movie or a product that you love?
Said to someone 'You’ll love this, this is perfect for you'
'Haven't you read x yet, it's amazing'
'Try x, it's the best' 

Now ask yourself...

Why didn’t that feel icky?
Why didn’t that feel pushy?

There's only one answer. 

It's because it wasn’t yours. 
So your subconscious, your monkey mind didn’t step in and silence you. 

But remember your highest self KNOWS that what you do is powerful 
What you do works. 

When you walk past a shop and it has the AUDACITY to put what it sells in the window, so that you know what it is selling - do you think -woah there - stop being so pushy. 
No, of course you don’t, because if the shop windows were all blank it would take forever to get what you need, it would be a nightmare. 

So by selling. 
By advertising what you do and what you have to give you are actually helping people out. 
If you don’t need what that shop sells - you just don't go in right?
You’re not forcing anyone to buy - you’re simply letting them know you and your business are an option.
You are giving them the opportunity to say yes to you. 

And if you love your clients and you love your business you have to give people the opportunity to say yes to what you offer. 

It would be remiss of me, to tell you all that you should be happy about making offers without making one myself so, if you want to snag some pre-Christmas offers DM me and ask about booking a chat.

What are your favourite December activities?


It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas in our little household. 

🎄 We've got our tree, its colourful and a bit messy just like me! 
🧩 Christmas jigsaw puzzle has been started. 
🗓️ Advent calendar is revealing secrets every morning (we hunt high and low every year for one that is pictures rather than chocolate or gifts)
🏰 We've visited a couple of National Trust properties (for those not in the the UK these are usually big old manor houses, castles and gardens that often go all out with themes and decorations for the Christmas period) 
🎶 Xmas playlists are on and I've already heard Last Christmas about 14 times. 
🧘‍♂️ A lot of my meditations and inner journeys are focusing on looking back over the last year, both celebrating wins and making peace with lessons and I'm looking forward to 2026 and calling in an abundance of health, wealth, peace and joy.

Who will you choose?


Many of my friends 'over the pond' are celebrating being thankful today so I thought I'd embrace that idea in todays post. 

Gratitude is just about the most powerful way to raise your vibration, to attraction more good things into our lives and to spread and little joy and happiness. 

So I invite you all to do just that today by sharing and tagging in the comments 3 creators on LinkedIn who you are grateful for and what they do. 

Maybe their content makes you smile, maybe it teaches you something, maybe you've worked with them and they changed your life. 

You totally get bonus points if they are a growing contributor (under 5k followers). 

A big thank you to you for reading this, to all my connections and followers (can't believe there's 8k of you now!) and a massive thank you to all of my clients past, present and future for enabling me to do the work I love.

When I first met Becky she was at a crossroads. 

She was struggling to get clients, she was scared she’d have to go back to corporate despite forking out over 10k on coaching. 

The few clients she had got were not from the program she’d spent most of her savings on. But because she’d spent all that money she was loathe to step away from the processes that weren’t working. 

She was disappointed. 
But she was also blaming herself, feeling shame for believing in someone who turned out to not be the right fit for her and guilt for not being able to make it work. 

She’s amazing coach and she really wanted to make a difference in people’s lives. 
But was worried that working with me; another coach,  would be just throwing good money after bad. 

Now, she’s aligned every aspect of her business with her true self. 

I helped her tap into her own style rather than following the cookie-cutter templates that she was told were the way to make sales and she’s selling her high-ticket groups and 1-1s  and it feels easy. 

Her other coach was great. The templates and processes were brilliant - they were an expert after all. 
However, they just weren’t aligned with who Becky is and left her feeling that she didn’t even really know who she was anymore. 

Her true self got lost in it all so she was coming off as inauthentic. 
That is not attractive energy. 
. 
She was worried her business was doomed to fail. 
And he couldn't continue ploughing her time and money into something that was failing. 

Fast forward and she’s excited for Christmas, has peace of mind about what her kids put on their lists to santa and is relaxed about taking time off because she’s already built enough of a financial buffer to do so. 

How did she get here?
The first step was to help her find herself again, to quiet all the noise and tune into her intuition, her higher self. 

Then we tweaked templates, processes, funnels, scripts, techniques so that they felt right at a soul deep level and so that they worked at an energetic level with the law of attraction.
We worked on her relationships - not with her nearest and dearest (though of course her partner and her kids love seeing this difference in her) and not even with her clients but her relationships with her business, with money, with her guide team and with herself. 

She started noticing differences as soon as we started working together. 
More followers on her socials. 
More comments, more genuine connections. 
More inbound leads. 
More calls booked. 
More confidence on those calls. 
More offers made. 
More people saying yes. 

She easily earned back the money she spent on her sales expert, on my coaching package and then some. 

Perhaps more importantly, she started sleeping better. 
She felt lighter in her body, like she wasn't carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders anymore. 
She laughed more. 
The world got its colour back. 

I'd love to do that for you too 💖 
DM me and lets get started.
