Insights for women who hungers to become who she really is so that she can live a long, healthy, and fulfilled life

Hi Girlie, 

Running a biz means juggling it all—emails, socials, clients—while keeping your eye on the prize. Time’s precious, and these AI tools are here to save you some. Simple, effective, and affordable, they handle the small stuff so you can focus on what matters.

Let’s get you working smarter, not harder!

Where do YOU need help?

We get it you have a long list of tasks to finish, but not all needs to be done by YOU right? Let’s try and understand what to actually automate and where to make the best use of AI:

1/ Identify your repetitive tasks 👀

Start by listing out tasks you find yourself doing repeatedly. If it’s a task you do daily or weekly and it follows a similar pattern each time, it’s likely a candidate for automation.

2/ Look for time-consuming processes 🤔

Pay attention to where you’re spending the most time. When you notice something eats up your time without adding unique value, that’s a clear sign it could be automated.

3/ Identify tasks that drain your energy 🚫

Some tasks, like detailed editing or data entry, can feel like an energy drain even if they don’t take much time. If there are tasks that leave you feeling mentally exhausted or slow down your productivity flow, AUTOMATE. 

4/ Check for tasks that pull you away from growth🙅🏻‍♀️

Lastly, ask yourself: Is this helping me grow? If a task isn’t directly contributing to business growth, it might be time to pass it on to automation.
