I’ve been spending a lot of time looking at how service businesses are preparing for the next 18–24 months, and one pattern keeps showing up. The businesses growing fastest aren’t necessarily spending more on ads or hiring bigger teams. They’re removing friction. A few examples I keep seeing: - Missed calls automatically turning into conversations - Leads getting responses in seconds instead of hours - Follow-ups happening consistently (without someone “remembering”) - Reviews being collected naturally after a job is done - Old leads coming back to life months later None of this is flashy. But together, it changes everything. What’s interesting is how much revenue is already there, it’s just leaking through gaps: - slow responses - manual follow-up - inconsistent processes - no visibility into what actually converts When those gaps are closed with simple trigger-based automation, a few things happen: - sales become more predictable - teams feel less pressure - owners get out of the day-to-day - growth compounds instead of restarting every month I’m also noticing that businesses with systems in place are far easier to scale or exit. Less dependency on the owner, clearer numbers, cleaner operations. Not saying automation is the answer to everything —but it’s becoming the foundation for businesses that want to be strong in 2026, not just busy. Curious how others here are thinking about this: - What’s the biggest bottleneck in your business right now? - Where do you feel revenue slipping through the cracks? Interested to hear real experiences 👀

. I’m excited to use Highlevel to offer DBR and Reputation Systems. Also, I will use GHL as my CRM to track the leads who get interested on the service. and I’m hoping to learn these three things here: 1. How to deliver a great service in the most efficient way 2. I am here to connect with potential partners and to learn how other are using GHL or other AI tools 3. How to scale an AI business with order and clarity My three main goals for 2026 are... 1. Going all-in in AI & Automation, starting with DBR as the first service to offer. 2. Generate 100k in monthly recurring revenue selling AI & Automation 3. Master several AI tools like n8n, make, Flutterflow to go deeper into AI Agents and Vibecoding. I want to learn to apply AI not only on my business but on my personal life
