3 Things You Think Require a Human
(But AI Can Do Exceptionally Well) I used to cling to certain tasks like,“Nope, I have to do this or it won’t be done right.” Yeah… turns out that was a lie I told myself to stay overwhelmed. Here are three things AI handles shockingly well: 1️⃣ Drafting Tricky Client Messages Need something firm but kind? Something that sets a boundary without sounding like a jerk? AI can shape the tone, polish the wording, and say what you’re actually trying to say. 2️⃣ Spotting System Gaps Give it your workflow or SOP, and it will point out: - missing steps - unclear instructions - places where clients get stuck  Basically, an extra set of eyes that doesn’t get tired or distracted. 3️⃣ Turning Long Videos Into Structured Content Workshops, Zoom calls, Lives, trainings…AI can break them into: - social posts - emails - step-by-step guides - lessons - checklists …so you’re never starting from scratch. The wildest part? These were the tasks I thought needed the most “human touch.” Turns out I just needed to stop trying to be a one-person robot. Which one surprised you the most?

I never thought about having it audit our SOPs or workflows, that's a great idea! I've used it to help me create SOPs and instructions, etc. but as we revisit some things this year, I'll definitely feed them into my Chat as part of the process.
The One-Task-a-Week Automation Challenge
If your business feels like a never-ending to-do list, here’s a little challenge that will actually lighten the load instead of adding to it: 1️⃣ Each week, pick ONE task you repeated manually. Sending the same email… Updating the same spreadsheet… Posting content the same way… You know the ones. 2️⃣ Write it down. Seriously - don’t skip this part. Seeing the pattern is half the breakthrough. 3️⃣ Ask AI to automate it. “What’s the fastest way to automate this task?” You’ll get options. Pick the simplest one. 4️⃣ Report back. Wins, struggles, tiny improvements - all of it counts. That’s it. No perfection. No overhauling your entire business. Just one small system each week that frees up more mental space than you expect. What’s your task for this week?

I'm biting off a bigger chunk due to necessity LOL. We're about to launch our new website, and there are some automations related to that that I'm working on setting up. Once that's done, though, it'll be time to optimize...
Help Shape Our Future Trainings 🎯
I want these monthly calls and trainings to be as useful and relevant for you as possible - not just what I think you need. So I’m opening it up. 👇 Drop a comment and tell me: - What are you currently stuck on? - What feels confusing, heavy, or messier than it should be? - What would you love a walkthrough or live training on? - Any AI, systems, automation, or “how the hell do I do this?” topics? Nothing is too basic. Nothing is “behind.” There are NO stupid questions! If you’re thinking it, there’s a good chance someone else is too. Your input directly influences: - Future monthly call topics - Live demos and walkthroughs - New tools, prompts, and systems I build for the community Comment below - even a short sentence helps more than you think 👇 Let’s build this together. 💙

I really want to automate my intake and onboarding workflows. I use Asana which has its own AI and recently announced an integration with Chat GPT, so I'd really like to learn how to leverage that better. I also think that with these upgraded tools, I might be able to get rid of Zoho CRM and replace it by doing everything inside of Asana (with Zaps to Kit as needed). Basically if automation can reduce the number of tools or if there are new tools that can save significant amounts of my team's time, I'd like to know more, see it in action, etc. On the back end I'm also looking at automating a longer term follow up and nurturing system for clients so we continue to collect wins as their book is out there in the world AND have opportunities to bring them back for next steps or next book projects.

📊 Facebook Ad Experiment — Real-Time Documentation
(Messy. Honest. Still running.) Why I’m Doing This I’m documenting this in real time because most Facebook ad “case studies” skip the confusing parts.(full disclosure: chatGPT wrote this documentation and any advice or observations about this process is given by it ‘acting as’ the top Facebook ads marketer that I asked it to be.) Before this, I hadn't run an ad in at least 5 years. This is not an area where I have a lot of experience or knowledge. This is not a launch. Not a funnel. Not a scale play. This is a small-budget boosted post test to invite the right people into my Automated CEO Community - and I want to show the actual process, including when Meta does weird stuff. Starting Point (Before Ads) - Profile size: ~1.3K followers - Goal: Warm visibility + conversations (not cold conversions) - Budget: Small daily boost - Format: Boosted post, not Ads Manager I chose to boost a post that already had organic traction instead of creating an ad from scratch. The Original Post (Organic) This was the post I boosted because it had the most traction (image attached): "If you’re still trying to run your business on duct-taped systems and sheer willpower… you’re not alone. But you don’t have to keep doing it. I opened The Automated CEO Community this morning, and within hours people started joining - people who are tired of holding their entire business together in their head. (Details about workflows, clarity, templates, support, beta pricing, etc - I didn't include here) If you’re on the fence, ask yourself: How long do you want to keep operating on stress, memory, and caffeine? Link in the comments." Organic performance before boosting: - 204 views - 11 interactions - 2 comments This was my signal to test it with paid reach. My Original Prompt (What I Asked For Help With) Act as if you are the top Facebook ads marketer. I want to do a small cost ad (maybe a boosted post?) for one of my posts inviting to the Automated CEO.

This is all so fascinating, thanks for pulling back the curtain as you progress. So any movement on memberships yet then @Angela Hall ?
What I’d Automate If I Were Starting My Business Over Today
If I could go back to Day One of my business (back when I was duct-taping everything together and hoping nobody noticed), here’s exactly what I’d automate first: 1️⃣ My Content Workflow I used to spend hours trying to come up with the perfect post. Now? One prompt → a full week of content. If I had this back then, I would’ve saved myself years of “blank cursor panic.” 2️⃣ My Client Onboarding The number of times I manually typed the same welcome email… embarrassing. Automating this would’ve given me back so many hours - and a lot of sanity. 3️⃣ My Daily Planning I didn’t realize how much energy I wasted trying to remember everything. AI pulling my tasks, priorities, and reminders into one clean daily brief? Game changer. 4️⃣ My Follow-Up System Clients, leads, team… I dropped balls left and right. AI doesn’t forget. Old-me could’ve used that superpower. If you’re building your business right now, learn from past-me: Automate the things you repeat. Start small. Stay consistent. Let the systems carry the weight. What would you do differently if you were starting today?

My list would be a lot like yours except maybe for the daily planning bit. I have used Asana for years and before that I made my own custom paper planners, so I have always known what I need to work on. Automating more things so I have LESS to work on, however... ;-)
