300: Solopreneur to CEO: The Automations That Unlock 10+ Hours a Week with Aveline Elfar
Manage episode 480091227 series 3004659
You guys… I am about to nerd out like never before on one of my favorite things—systems and operations. Yes, the stuff behind the scenes that actually makes or breaks your business. Whether you’re just getting to six figures or cruising past seven, your systems must evolve with you. So I brought in Aveline Elfar, founder of a killer operations agency, to walk us through exactly what to automate, when to delegate, and how to stop being the bottleneck in your biz. Oh, and if you love a good spreadsheet… we’re soul sisters.
