Every time you copy-paste a link in Slack, you lose a sale.

You tell yourself it’s just a small task.

But 10 of those “small tasks” - that’s your afternoon gone.

Here’s the math:

Quick 5-minute updates × 10 times a day = 50 Minutes a day.

50 Minutes × 5 days a week = 250 minutes.

That’s 4+ hours a week gone just in updates:

Sending updates and links in Slack.
Pasting the same link across tools.
Doing the task… and then, updating others manually.

Meanwhile, that same time could’ve been spent on:

Sales Calls.
Strategy Sessions.
Working on your business.

The fix?

Let’s make your tools do the talking.

Here’s the full breakdown on how to get started:

Step 1: Pick one workflow

Choose a single area, say, content delivery, team management, or client onboarding.

Start with one.

(If you try to automate everything at once, you’ll end up doing nothing.)

Step 2: Map where your time gets wasted

Map where you manually send updates across tools that add no business value.

Example:

In client delivery:

Update a link in one tool → Send the same link to the client manually → Tell your team it’s approved.

These 3 steps waste your 4+ hours and create resistance in your daily workflow.

Step 3: Design light automation

Based on the bottlenecks you covered in one area, start building light automation, one by one.

Example:

Trigger → “When a new file is added to Google Drive folder X”

Action 1 → Update the Notion table

(Map all properties inside the Zap to let Zapier make updates as your team does)

Action 2 → Send a message in Slack

That’s it.

Automation isn’t complex.

It’s just connecting what already works for you.

You can set another automation to free your mental capacity:

→ When a client marks a task as “Approved,” Slack updates your team instantly

No check-ins. No confusion.

Step 4: Test small, scale big

Start with one small workflow.

Get the rhythm right.

Then replicate the pattern across other parts of your agency.

When your tools talk to each other:

Your team works faster.
Your clients stay informed.
And you… finally breathe.

Your workflow should free you, not bind you to tiny repetitive loops.

Every time you copy-paste a link, your profit drops a little.

Fix the leak once, and you get your 5+ hours back every week.

If you want help mapping or setting up these automations across your current tools,

DM me “automation.”

We’ll take it from there - simple, systemized, done.

Cheering for your next breakthrough,

P.S.

Freedom isn’t just mental. It’s operational.

And it starts when your tools start talking without you.
