She'd been copying order details from emails into a spreadsheet.

30 to 40 times a day. Every single day. For two years.

I fixed it in three hours.

She cried.

Not because it was technically impressive. Because she suddenly realized how much of her life she'd handed to a task that never needed a human.

I've automated 20+ businesses this year. And the thing that surprises every single client is never the big flashy AI stuff.

It's always something embarrassingly simple.

The follow up that didn't get sent because things got busy. The report someone pulls manually every Friday afternoon. The same email rewritten 15 times a week with tiny changes. The data copied from one tool to another because nobody set up a connection.

None of this sounds impressive. But it's the stuff people actually pay for. And keep paying for. The pattern I keep seeing is this - the less exciting the task sounds, the more grateful the client is when it's gone. Because it wasn't just the time. It was the mental load of remembering to do it. Every. Single. Day.

If you're a business owner - what's the task you've just accepted as part of the job that probably shouldn't exist?

Drop it below. Genuinely curious.

And if it sounds automatable, I'll tell you if it is.

If you are building sth. or just getting started with a business or chasing your dreams, keep going bro.

KEEP IT UP!! U can do it !!! And it will work out!!!

Let’s go!!!!!!

Just a single mom trying to go another direction and get the ball rolling. Please go check out my candles. More to come.

A few months ago, I started experimenting with mushroom cultivation.

No big plan. No grand vision.

Just curiosity… and a small setup.

What surprised me wasn’t just that it worked —

it’s that it worked really well.

The produce sold locally.

Demand was consistent.

And suddenly, something that started as an experiment started looking like a real income opportunity.

Then something else happened.

People started reaching out.

“Can this be done at home?”

“How much space do you actually need?”

“Is this scalable?”

That’s when it hit me —

most people think farming = large land, heavy investment, high risk.

But mushroom cultivation breaks that assumption.

You can start in as little as 100 sq. ft.

And still build a profitable side hustle if done right.

That realization got me excited.

Because this isn’t just about mushrooms.

It’s about showing people that practical, low-entry opportunities still exist — if you know how to approach them.

So I decided to start sharing everything I’ve learned.

I’m kicking this off with a free live webinar this Sunday at 7 PM —

a small, focused session to walk through how this actually works in the real world.

Keeping it limited so it stays interactive.

See you there.

What professional do I see to purchase a company?

Walk me through the last time you felt stuck or frustrated building your business. What specifically happened?

What did you do the last time you needed business advice? Where did you go? How much did you spend? Was it worth it?

I understand that everyone's experience and struggles are different, so for me, preparation is everything. If you are willing to spend a little time, I would love to hear your story!

I’m an 18 yo french student that dropped out of school for this year (i plan on going back next year i just took the wrong path).

I speak fluent english, and i need a side hustle.

I already made around 2-3k by selling various services on the internet, had a few clients.

Of course a few thousand isn’t enough to call it « experience » but i’ve learned a thing or two about running a business and managing clients.

As a young man i also had a few issues with money, i’m starting back from scratches.

I’m looking for ANYthing, ANY side hustle whatever the job/task it is. If you need help in any thing and are willing to pay for it, I’m up.

You have no idea how bad i want it.

Whatever i do i see it as experience, skill building.

I need to be someone that’s good in a lot of domains. I want to multitask. I can learn anything fast.

Hit me up if i fit your expectations

I placed an order and it got rejected so I gave our supplier a call only to find out they moved us to prepayment only.

We've been late on payments and they changed our terms but nobody informed me and it lead to this being a problem. I went back through our records and from what I could see they were right and we were a few days late for most of last year.

Granted this process was done by whoever had bandwidth at the time to flag them and we weren't as strict as we should have been but this is on us and losing good terms with a supplier you rely on is a huge cost.

Hear me out; im in my late 20s and had sold mortgages for many years until recent markets. I always made good money so stuck with it, but always hated the fact of being stuck inside all day or being on a computer. Fortunately I’m pretty active at staying ambitious and looking for ways to make money so I’ve been getting by.

But for the most part, I’m lost on direction;

I feel like in today’s world there’s so much of business that’s online and techy, complex, and some even “gimmicky”. I’ve tried all kinds of ideas like this and just realized I get stuck in loops, get nowhere, and end up giving up.

I want to start something simple but highly rewarding but don’t know how to go about it or what to expect...

For example, I live in FL, and came up with the idea of a lawn company. Went out and got some equipment, signed up in a couple apps like Tasker, got a few jobs and found the people wanted a ton of work, for the little pay and resource. It sort of made it feel like a waste to try and pursue further, because I wasn’t getting much offers on the app, and I thought about going out to find customers but tbh couldn’t really even understand what to charge, especially as they start requesting special tasks..

Idk man and I might just be venting a bit, but just feel lost as shit. Like I don’t have any sort of particularly passion, and I’m just happy as long as I could find success at something and make good money. (150-200k/yr, through time if needed)

I come across so many people that are lazy as shit and yet stumble into these great businesses, or make a killing at something stupid. And yet, I feel like despite being ambitious, motivated, willing to work hard, sharp — I still have ended up no where.

Feel like a mental midget when it comes to just not having any sort of guidance.

I’m at a point now where money is tight, and I want to start taking a better angle at building something, but can afford to waste time or resource not knowing how to execute correctly

So guess I would just really appreciate any business owners input, advice, or help if you can 🙏🏼 Appreciate everyone in here!

Edit:

worth noting, here’s the capabilities:

• ⁠Sales but hate doing it.

• ⁠analysis work and analyzing data, building frameworks, creating AI bits, etc. but idk why for the life of me I can’t“bring these to life” most times.

• ⁠have a truck , general range of tools and knowledge. Father was a blue collar type of guy so grew up learning quite a bit of hands on skills, just never applied it much as I made more money in knowledge/expertise/mental or based jobs.

• ⁠don’t have a preference of either or; wether I’d build out a website or data analytics dashboard all night for a client, or get up early and bust ass working labor wise all day — I’m good with either if it’s worthwhile.

• ⁠have a way better understanding and know how to do online based work, but horrible at making it into a “business”. On the flip side, it’s vice versa see

Think about a professional sports team. Now think about your business. The same principles apply.

A great coach sets the game plan. They provide direction without micromanaging. All the while, players are trusted to make decisions in the moment based on what’s best for the team.

But a coach who second-guesses every move or refuses to adjust the strategy won’t build a championship team. The same is true for leaders who want their organizations to continuously improve.

Loosen the reins

The last thing you want as a leader is to keep your team on a leash.

That doesn’t mean they can do whatever they want. There still needs to be clear rules and boundaries. But within those guardrails, let them take ownership.

Trust your team by giving your boots on the ground control over the day-to-day.

With clear expectations in place, they should be able to fix small issues and make adjustments without waiting for approval.

That’s how you avoid bottlenecks, minimize miscommunication, and keep improving every day.

According to “The Improvement Paradox,” a commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of SafetyCulture, fragmented ownership leads to issues with productivity, communication, and organization, blocking continuous improvement. 

The truth is, teams perform better when they have full ownership of their work. And leaders need to support this.

But it can’t just be all backing. There has to be a balance.

Sponsoring shouldn’t mean control.

It should give your teams the space and authority to decide and act.

Leave no feedback loops open

Of course, you can’t just let people act on their own. Mistakes will happen. And when they do, your team shouldn’t feel like they’re carrying all the blame.

That’s why feedback matters.

Ownership without feedback just feels like extra work. If someone raises an idea and never hears back, they’re left wondering if it worked, if it mattered, or if anyone even noticed.

In “The Improvement Paradox,” 81% of frontline supervisors say progress on improvements is reviewed. But only 63% know what actually happens to the ideas they raise.

This is why closing the “loop” in a feedback loop matters. It builds trust. If an idea fixes a problem, say it. If it doesn’t, explain why. Don’t leave people in the dark.

This doesn’t have to be complicated. Daily team huddles. Clear metrics everyone can see. Simple recognition moments. People need to know if they’re on the right track.

And feedback shouldn’t be a once-a-month conversation. If you want continuous improvement, it has to be constant and regular.

Building a culture of improvement
Workplace culture is like a well. It can stay clear and clean until something contaminates it.

That’s why everything has to work hand in hand. The foundation. The processes. The regular testing and check-ins.

Leadership is no different. 

Building a culture of improvement takes time and the right foundations. Most organizations want it. Many believe they already have it.

But does it truly exist, or do they just have tools for improvement without alignment?

Real integration only works when everything connects as one system, not as separate pieces. When a culture of improvement is ignored, time is wasted. Your engagement drops. Growth slows down.

Continuous improvement starts with ownership and feedback. When those two break down, the foundation weakens.

How seriously do you take improvement?
Improvement isn’t a one-time thing. Just because you already built a culture of improvement, doesn’t mean you’re getting results. Like all things, it’s a gradual climb.

If you’re unsure about where you stand, there is such a thing as an improvement maturity scale. The scale goes as:

• Reactive: Improvement isn’t a priority. You only step in when something goes wrong. And when progress does happen, it’s usually driven by a motivated few.
• Compliant: Improvement feels like a box to tick. Routines and checklists keep things stable, but changes only happen because they’re required, not because people believe in them.
• Proactive: Improvement is more intentional. Frontline teams are trusted to act without waiting for approval, instead of holding ideas and feedback until a monthly review.
• Integrated: Improvement is part of how you work every day. People, processes, and tools are aligned, and issues are anticipated before they become problems.

So, where do you stand on the improvement maturity scale?

If you’re reactive, there’s no shame in that. It just means there’s room to improve. The first step is learning to trust your team and giving them the feedback they need.

Hello

I'm Kadirou an AI developer with official certificates and I've built a system that gets more clients to dentists by increasing the show up rate.

This is how it works:

- Manage the time left till the next appointment

- Message the patient to book the appointment when there's 1 week left

- Message the patient to book the appointment when there's 4 days left

- Message the manager if the patient didn't book to call the patient manually
