I used to be that business owner - drowning in to-dos, spending hours on stuff that didn’t move the needle, and constantly tempted to hire help I couldn’t afford. Then I found a better way.

In this episode, I’m sharing the exact five apps that slashed my working hours in half - without hiring a single team member. These aren’t random recommendations. Each tool genuinely transformed how I run my business as a CEO, from social media scheduling to client calls to accounting.

You’ll hear how I:

• Went from daily content chaos to scheduling a week’s worth of posts in 30 mins

• Quit the back-and-forth of booking meetings and started converting warm leads faster

• Built a visual project dashboard so I stopped micromanaging my team and deadlines

• Used AI to crush blank-page paralysis and actually enjoy content creation again

• Made peace with my finances using one accounting tool that does everything

This is for you if you're running the show solo, scaling with zero spare time, or just desperate for some breathing room. These are the tools that let me create space, scale intentionally, and still keep full creative control.

If you're ready to simplify and save serious time, hit play - then DM me on Instagram @theclairebartlett and let me know which app you’re trying first.
