Hey everyone, I’m Jason an entrepreneur running a real estate team of 40+ agents, and I’m hitting a wall operationally. I feel stuck and overwhelmed because I’m still doing too many manual, repetitive tasks in the business things I know could be automated or delegated. I just don’t know where to start first. I’m: - Still handling repetitive workflows - Touching things I probably shouldn’t be touching - Using ChatGPT mostly like Google instead of leveraging it strategically - Just started learning about Zapier and automation - Curious about building internal AI agents to support operations 🙋‍♂️ For those who’ve scaled: - What did you automate first? - How did you audit your time? - Where did you start with Zapier or AI? - Did you build SOPs first before automating? I don’t want more hustle. I want better systems. Any guidance on where to begin would help. Thank you

In that time, I’ve worked across multiple automation initiatives. What I learned has very little to do with tools.It has everything to do with rigour. Here are the lessons that changed how I evaluate automation entirely: 1. Pilot success means nothing without scale economics 2. Financial visibility must start on day one 3. Hours saved is a weak success metric 4. Scale exposes everything pilots hide 5. Unit economics decide whether automation survives 6. Cost ownership cannot sit only with finance: 7. Finance and engineering must speak one language 8. Automating broken processes compounds the damage 9. Total cost matters more than visible cost 10. Long-term commitments reduce chaos After a year of building, breaking, and fixing automation systems, one thing is clear: Those who treat it casually accumulate hidden debt.Those who treat it like a financial and operational system build leverage that compounds. Sharing this with the community that’s shaped much of my thinking over the past year. Looking forward to learning from how others here have navigated these same trade-offs.
